One of the greatest achievements of the EU has been the completion of the single market. In the European Single Market (EU) there are no internal borders and therefore applies the principle of free movement of people, services, capital and goods.

The creation of the European Single Market has entailed profound structural changes in the economies of the EU member states: monopolies and Technical Barriers to Trade elimination, Market liberalization... The EU has issued a number of rules that the member countries have had to incorporate into their native legislation.

  1. The European Single Market has eliminated the customs duties and quantitative restrictions
  2. The EU single market has allowed in 10 years that the EU-trade increase by 15% annually
  3. Thanks to the European Single Market, 2.5 million jobs have been created
  4. The EU estimates that if the existing barriers to the single market were removed, the GDP of the twenty-eight-member would increase by 235 billion euros
  5. The completion of the single market has not yet been achieved. The Europe 2020 strategy is key to the European Single Market development
