Jeg kan ikke understrege kraftigt nok, at hensigten med underretningsproceduren ikke er at forhindre brug af strengere eller supplerende normer men simpelthen at sikre, at sådanne normer ikke benyttes på en sådan måde, at de virker som handelshindringer og dermed hæmmer det indre markeds funktion.
I cannot stress strongly enough that the purpose of the reporting procedure is not to prevent the use of more stringent or supplementary standards, but simply to ensure that such standards are not used in such a way that they act as trade barriers and thus prevent functioning of the internal market.
