"Europe is not just a market; it is also a community of citizens – that is a statement that we often hear. What is the reality, though? Few citizens believe in it. Hence, this report on a Single Market for Europeans, adopted today in response to the Single Market Act put forward by the Commission last October. Alongside the reports dealing with businesses, growth and the governance of the Single Market, this report addresses the expectations of citizens, consumers and users of public services. Among the ideas mentioned are greater transparency of banking charges, but also real recognition of professional qualifications and portability of pension rights. The negotiations allowed us to include a reference to the horizontal social clause which was established by the Treaty of Lisbon and which now has to be transposed concretely into legislation. Finally, the report once again takes up the concept, advocated by Commissioner Barnier, of a ‘toolbox’ for services of general interest – in particular, social services of general interest – which are currently a major concern of citizens and service providers in the national territories. Although it is non-legislative, this report has the merit of including citizens in the well-known necessity of completing the Single Market."@en1
