Technical standardization
English
"Traditionally, the pace of standardization is set by the big firms, because standards take time, a lot of money and technical expertise to develop that others economic and societal players rarely have. The new EU Regulation on standardization changes the game by providing financial support to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and trade unions, among others, to have a say in standardization. What do the employers' organizations think about it? We asked European manufacturers and employers' associations."
