Okay, dear colleagues, I suggest we restart our meeting. There's still some parallel shadows meetings and sessions going on. Nevertheless, we have a very full, packed agenda for the afternoon and start with agenda item 16, the standardisation regulation. We have already discussed the topic several times here in the committee, for example, in the respective, like, hearings on the Product Act, so probably can stop talking a little bit in between. Thank you.
The guests can sit down, but stop talking. And today we want to have an official presentation by the Commission, and then of course the members can also come in and ask questions. I welcome the Commission representative, Ms. Barbara Bonvissuto, director for construction, machinery and market surveillance at DG GROW to present the proposal. Welcome.

Thank you very much. Good afternoon, everyone. I have, yes, a presentation, so if you can please go already to the next slide. So before entering into the details of the proposal we have just put on the table, let me recall you the political context. This is one of the initiatives and in on the one Europe, one market road map, one of the legal acts under the European product package.
And the objectives of that road map is to create closer synergies between internal market framework, trade, and industrial policies. And standards, they do underpin the three pillars, because they are necessary for compliance with respect to our internal market rules, they provide competitive advantage to our companies when exporting to third countries, especially when we, as a European Union, manage to be standard-setters rather than standard-takers. And they, of course, are an essential part of our industrial policies as they allow for innovation and support competitiveness. Now already, with the European competitiveness compass Please next slide. So we announced the revision of the standardisation regulation already in with the European competitiveness compass in January last year, and then reiterated with the single market strategy.
