Our President, Dermott Jewell, and Deputy Director-General, Chiara Giovannini, attended yesterday's third meeting of the European Commission's High-Level Forum on #Standardisation (#HLFS). In his presentation to the meeting, Dermott noted that EU household expenditure reached 52.1% of GDP in 2023, marking a return to near pre-pandemic levels and underscoring the powerful truth that #consumers are the backbone of Europe’s economy. Their spending drives prosperity, and their confidence fuels growth. This places a responsibility on the framework of legislation and standardisation in Europe to reflect their needs and safeguard their rights, ensuring that no one is excluded or left behind. He went on to stress that #inclusiveness of the process must remain at the heart of the European Standardisation System. Its unique strength lies in its ability to bring together diverse stakeholders—businesses, governments, civil society and consumer representatives—around one table. This collaboration ensures that our standards are not only economically-relevant but also socially equitable, reflecting the diversity of Europe’s people and the challenges they face. Inclusiveness is not just a principle—it is a necessity for building a fairer, more resilient and prosperous Europe. For the complete text of Dermott's intervention, please visit
