Europe must act now to create more prosperity and jobs. And it must do this urgently in the wake of the financial crisis. That is why the European Commission adopted the Single Market Act, a series of measures to boost the European economy and create jobs.
Since 1992, the Single Market has brought tremendous benefits and created new opportunities. But free movement of goods, services, capital and people does not always happen smoothly. There is no truly integrated European market in some fields. Pieces of legislation are missing. And administrative obstacles and lacking enforcement leave the full potential of the Single Market unexploited.
En octobre 2012, la Commission a proposé un second paquet de mesures (Acte pour le marché unique II) afin de continuer à développer le marché unique et d’exploiter tout son potentiel pour stimuler la croissance.
