Economic Reports
| Currently, the Internal Market is reaching a stage of maturity
which requires not just the legal enforcement of existing regulations,
but also the constant monitoring of market developments and permanent
contacts with citizens and businesses. Having reached a high level of
economic integration in the Union, the emphasis has turned now to
improving efficiency in the operation of the Internal Market. To this
end, the Internal Market DG produces technical reports on the
performance of goods, services and capital markets in the EU. |
Economic studies on the Single Market
| January 2007 |
DG Economic and Financial Affairs' economic paper on the Single Market "Steps towards a
deeper economic integration: the internal market in the 21st century" |
| |
DG Economic and Financial Affairs published an
economic paper on the Single Market in January 2007 as a
contribution to the Commission's Single Market Review. The aim of this
paper is to analyse the effects of the implementation of the Internal
Market Programme and to propose ideas on how its potential can be
better exploited. Overall the paper concludes that the Internal Market
is a powerful instrument to promote economic integration and to
increase competition within the EU and that it has been the source of
large macro-economic benefits. However, these gains could have been
substantially larger if the removal of most of the remaining
cross-border barriers was achieved. |
