Position Paper: Public Consultation on the EU Standardisation Regulation Revision
This paper outlines key principles for the public transport sector regarding standardisation.
Summary
UITP welcomes the public consultation on the proposal for a revision of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 as an opportunity to remind of key principles for the sector around standardisation.
Contents:
- Standards should be defined by those benefitting from them
- Application of standards is and must remain voluntary for the local public transport sector
- Access to such standards should be facilitated for the concerned industrial actors, including free access to harmonised standards forming part of EU law
- Smart cities with their own multimodal public transport network and local tailor-made integrated fare policy do not need mandatory European integration
- EU’s participation to the global standardisation work should be enhanced
- Clarification of the terms, scope, stakeholders, territory of application and relationship with “global de-facto standards” is needed
- Local public transport should not face unnecessary EU technical rules
