  2. Highlights: Faster for better? • Speed is directly related to: • Sectors’ needs • Readiness of stakeholders to build consensus • Do not sacrifice quality and internationalisation over speed • Need to keep market relevance • Our proposal: Simplification and Education of processes and procedures Elena Santiago Cid , EP Public Hearing on Standardization (2011-11-23) © CEN-CENELEC 2011 2/10

  3. ≠ sectors, ≠ needs Speed is often a business choice

  5. Quality and speed Representativeness, inclusiveness, international = time Elena Santiago Cid , EP Public Hearing on Standardization (2011-11-23) © CEN-CENELEC 2011 5/10 © CEN-CENELEC 2011 5/10

  6. Market relevance • To guarantee state of the art deliverables, we have to remain attractive to market operators • ENs are developed and used by the private sector • The private sector: • bears 95% of the costs of the system. • brings 99% of the up-to-date expertise. • Speed depends on knowledge available, commercial issues, industry’s needs, etc. Elena Santiago Cid , EP Public Hearing on Standardization (2011-11-23) © CEN-CENELEC 2011 6/10

  7. Our proposal:Simplification of processes and Education • Improved ESOs and SDOs coordination and cooperation (also at international level) • Further Development of e-communication and e-platforms (new and improved IT tools – IT strategy) • EC co-finance rules should be simplified • Integration of research- standards and innovation • Education about standardisation (National programs) Joint effort for simplification = increase in speed Elena Santiago Cid , EP Public Hearing on Standardization (2011-11-23) © CEN-CENELEC 2011 7/10

  8. Conclusions: Faster for better? • Speed is directly related to: • Sectors’ needs • Readiness of stakeholders to build consensus • Do not sacrifice quality and internationalisation • Need to keep market relevance • Simplification and Education of processes. • EC co-finance rules should be simplified • Let’s simplify together!
