Thirty Years of the European Single Market

In 1993, the European Single Market was created with the aim of enabling the free movement of goods, services and capital. It has created jobs and fostered growth and prosperity across the EU. Today, the European Single Market is the EU’s driving force in addressing new challenges. In the future, the European Single Market will play a decisive role in setting a framework of reliable social standards and common goals. It will ensure Europe’s resilience by helping companies adapt their supply chains to future risks and find new business opportunities. The 30th anniversary of the European Single Market provides an opportunity to celebrate its successes and review what is yet to be achieved.
