CEN和CENELEC对欧盟委员会关于欧洲标准化体系的未来的最新提议表示欢迎。CEN和CENELEC对于欧盟委员会致力于建立一个更加协调统一的标准化政策尤为满意。这将有利于加强单一市场以及促进欧盟政策和法律的实施。
CEN和CENELEC主席艾琳娜.圣地亚哥.西德（Elena Santiago Cid）就6月1日欧盟委员会发布的《21世纪欧洲标准》(COM(2016) 358 final)回应说，我们很高兴看到欧盟委员会承诺出台一个更加一致和完整的标准化政策。我们相信“单一标准化政策”应该包含所有的经济领域和行业活动，包括目前为止一直被单独对待的电子技术。
“当今世界电子和智能技术日渐盛行，区分电子和非电子领域也变得越来越难，”Elena Santiago Cid女士还说道。“比如在家里，洗衣机和冰箱等家用电器正在变得越来越智能化，家庭供热系统也可以跟网络连接。再说办公场所，数字界面也融入各种设备和机器中。因此，保证各个领域的活动都拥有一套更加协调一致的标准化系统很有必要。这种标准化系统也要在欧盟委员会、CEN、CENELEC以及其他利益相关者的合作中体现。
对于同在6月1日发布的《2017年欧洲标准年度联合工作计划》，Elena Santiago Cid女士表示：“我们期待和欧盟委员会就此项工作计划开展合作，我们尤其欣赏委员会誓将促进关于服务业的标准的发展。基于以往的经验，在欧洲范围内实行统一标准有利于强化一体化市场，推动增长和增加就业机会。然而，现在的情况是虽然服务业占欧洲经济总量的70%，但服务业标准只占欧洲标准的2%。所以标准在未来可以发挥的作用无可限量。”
CEN和CENELEC希望欧盟委员会单一市场策略框架下的《标准化联合倡议》早日实施。《标准化联合倡议》将在6月13日在阿姆斯特丹正式开始实施，届时会由欧盟轮值主席国荷兰举办一场关于市场一体化的大型会议。除了欧盟委员会、欧洲自贸联盟和欧洲标准化组织（(CEN, CENELEC and ETSI),），一大批利益相关者都会加入《标准化联合倡议》，其中包括欧洲工业联合会，民间相关组织，小企业标准协会和各国政府。
Elena Santiago Cid女士还说道，“我们很高兴看到此项联合倡议把众多相关主体聚集到一起，我们相信这将会进一步加强欧洲标准化体系的发展。欧洲标准化体系是基于公私合作伙伴关系上的，包括欧洲的公共组织，企业和其他相关主体。CEN和CENELEC发布的所有标准都是由包括中小型企业在内的各行业的专家和民间利益相关者的代表合作讨论得出的，兼顾了消费者、环境以及社会各方面的利益。通过采取包容的态度并考虑不同参与主体的看法，我们可以保证我们制定的标准符合市场需求，同时还有助于实现可及性和可持续性等社会目标。

CEN and CENELEC welcome European Commission’s commitment to have a 'single standardization policy'
Brussels, 2 June 2016 – The European Standardization Committees CEN and CENELEC welcome the European Commission’s latest proposals concerning the future of the European Standardization System. In particular, CEN and CENELEC are satisfied to see that the Commission has committed itself to having a more consistent and unified policy towards standardization, which serves to strengthen the Single Market and also supports the implementation of EU policies and legislation.
Responding to the European Commission’s Communication 'European Standards for the 21st Century' (COM(2016) 358 final), which was published on 1 June, Elena Santiago Cid, Director General of CEN and CENELEC said: "In CEN and CENELEC, we are very pleased to see that the European Commission has promised to have a much more coherent and integrated policy towards standardization. We believe that the 'single standardization policy' should encompass all economic sectors and fields of activity – including digital technologies, which until now have been addressed separately."
"In today’s world, where digital and smart technologies are becoming ever more prevalent, it is increasingly difficult to draw the line between what is digital and what is not digital," said Ms Santiago Cid. "For example – in the domestic environment, appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators are becoming smarter, while home heating systems can also be connected to the internet. Meanwhile, in the workplace, digital interfaces are being integrated into all kinds of equipment and machinery. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure a more coherent and consistent approach towards standardization across all fields of activity, and this should also be reflected in the cooperation between the European Commission, the European Standardization Organizations and other stakeholders."
Referring to 'The annual Union work programme for European standardisation for 2017', which was also published on 1 June, Ms Santiago Cid stated: "We look forward to cooperating with the European Commission on the implementation of this work programme, and we especially welcome the renewed commitment to promoting the development of standards in relation to services. Based on experience, we know that having common standards at European level can help to strengthen the Single Market, boost growth and create jobs. However, the current situation is that service standards only account for 2% of all European standards, even though services represent 70% of the European economy. So there is enormous potential for standards to play a positive role in the future!"
CEN and CENELEC look forward to the launch of the 'Joint Initiative on Standardization' (JIS), which has been developed in the framework of the European Commission’s 'Single Market Strategy'. The JIS will be officially launched in Amsterdam on 13 June, during a major conference on the Single Market organized by the Dutch Presidency of the Council of the EU. Alongside the European Commission, EFTA and the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC and ETSI), a wide range of stakeholders will participate in the JIS – including European industry federations, societal stakeholder organizations, SBS (Small Business Standards) and national governments, among others.
"We welcome the fact that the Joint Initiative is bringing together such a wide range of stakeholders, and we believe that this will serve to further strengthen the European Standardization System, which is based on a public-private partnership that includes the European institutions, business and other stakeholders," said Ms Santiago Cid. "All of the standards published by CEN and CENELEC are developed by experts from industry – including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), working together with representatives of societal stakeholders – including consumers, environmental and social interests. By following an inclusive approach and taking the views of different stakeholders into account, we can ensure that our standards meet market needs, and that they also contribute to achieving societal objectives such as accessibility and sustainability."
