".
The smooth functioning of the internal market is crucial to growth, competitiveness and employment. It is therefore important to remove all obstacles to its smooth operation, particularly at the level of the retail sector, which employs nearly 20 million people, generates 4.2% of the EU’s Gross Domestic Product, and represents 20% of European small and medium-sized enterprises. The report identifies five priority areas for a more efficient retail market: (i) ensuring greater competitiveness and growth, and boosting employment; (ii) removing existing obstacles to the free movement of goods and services; (iii) opening up market access to consumers and businesses; (iv) addressing contractual and commercial practices in business-to-business relations; (v) enhancing efficiency and innovative practices. I believe that it is imperative to remove barriers and ensure that the internal market functions effectively as a way of boosting growth and employment in a post-crisis Europe."@en1
