"I supported the draft regulation on European standardisation, as it marks an important step towards modernising the development of European standards. This is not only a prerequisite for increasing the competitiveness and economic growth of European firms on the global market, but also a further step towards bringing the idea of a fully functional single market to completion. I also welcome extending involvement in the process of developing standards to a wider circle of consulted parties – consumer representatives, civil society and social partners. All of these must be fully-fledged members of the dialogue, as they are the ultimate users of products and services and are, at the same time, best able to describe their own specific needs. Functioning European standards will not only mean consumer satisfaction, but will also boost consumer confidence in the single market. Last but not least, we must not forget small and medium-sized enterprises, which may be discriminated against and may even face problems with survival as a result of the non-transparent development and adoption of standards involving a high administrative burden. I am therefore pleased that the representatives of these businesses will also be able to take part in standardisation activities through consultations."@en1
