single market

The European Economic Area (EEA) agreement marked its 30th anniversary today, an alliance with a long path ahead to a future full of possibilities within the Single Market. Or, at least, this was the gist of the keynote speech made by Enrico Letta during the “30 years of the European Economic Area: A Unique Partnership Fit for the Future” conference hosted in Brussels by the Belgian Presidency of the EU Council.

EU Competitiveness ministers urged on a more “effecient framework” avoiding over-regulation and strengthening the monitoring of the market situation

In a significant step towards strengthening its relationships with neighboring nations, the EU is nearing the finalization of the Association Agreement with Andorra and San Marino.

Following the presentation of his “Much more than a market” report at the last European Council, Enrico Letta is continuing his European tour to present Member States with his recipe for a stronger and more attractive Single Market, both externally and, more importantly, internally.

The social pillar at the center, both of the single market and of the forthcoming holding of European institutions. This was the warning issued by Enrico Letta and Nicolas Schmit, -Commissioner for Job and Social Rights (now Spitzenkandidat for the Socialists&Democrats group), during the event organized by the Foundation for European Progressive Studies on April 30th.
