A simpler Single Market to make companies choose Europe

Today, the European Commission has presented a Single Market Strategy to create a more simple, seamless and stronger European home market. The Strategy sets out bold actions to reduce existing barriers holding back intra-EU trade and investments, helps SMEs to operate and scale up their activities, and alleviates businesses by boosting digitalisation. The Strategy calls on Member States to do their part in making the EU market the best choice for companies, workers and consumers.
In today's world, marked by economic volatility and trade tensions, the EU market is the first driver of our competitiveness. The EU market has increased EU GDP by at least 3-4% and created 3.6 million jobs since its creation. Further completing the Single Market would double the already achieved gains.
