ANEC submitted its comments on the European Commission’s public consultation on the evaluation of Regulation (EU) 1025/2012 – the Standardization Regulation, which is currently open until 25 July.
The answers to the online consultation are supplemented by the supporting ANEC position paper. This builds on answers to the questions in the consultation, as well as commenting on other aspects not raised.
ANEC recommends a targeted amendment rather than a full revision of Regulation (EU) 1025/2012. Key aspects include enhancing Member States' political and financial frameworks to ensure inclusive stakeholder participation in European standardization.
Last but not least, ANEC highlights the need for continuous improvement in the inclusiveness and robustness of the European standardization process, ensuring it aligns with societal needs and legal frameworks.
