(3) European standards and European standardisation deliverables play an important role for the internal market and consumer protection. Standards do not regulate solely the technical aspect of a product, but they also play an important role for workers, people and environment. For instance, harmonised standards may be used to confer a presumption that products to be made available on the market are in conformity with the essential requirements that are laid down in the relevant Union harmonisation legislation for those products when they comply with the harmonised standards., while ensuring the quality and safety of products and services for consumers and for the environment. Therefore, an inclusive and multi- stakeholder approach guaranteeing the participation of civil society, SME experts, and consumer representatives among others is essential to ensure sound procedure and a balanced representation of stakeholders’ interest

(4) In the past years, the practices in the European standardisation organisations as regards their internal governance and decision-making procedures have changed. As a result, the European standardisation organisations have increased their co- operation with international and European stakeholders. Such cooperation is welcome as it contributes to the transparent, open, impartial and consensus-built standardisation process. However, when European standardisation organisations execute standardisation requests to support Union legislation and policies, unrestricted participation of any stakeholder in their internal decision- making may lead to decisions that do not entirely take into account the interests, policy objectives, and values of the Union as well as public interests in general.
