"Thank you for that question, Mr Grech. It gives me an opportunity – in connection with this major effort to bring citizens, consumers and economic operators, on the one hand, and small and medium-sized enterprises, on the other, closer to the market, because some of them really feel that this single market was not made for them, that it is more an area of constraints than an area of opportunities – to pay tribute to the work of your committee, to this work that you yourself have begun in line with the report by Mario Monti. Mr Grech, we have taken up in this document, in the form of the top 20 concerns, one of your ideas, as well as the idea, as Mr Harbour knows, of this ‘introductory paragraph’ in the Single Market Act, this description provided by the European Parliament.
I want to pay tribute to this work that we, Commission and Parliament, are doing together in a concerted manner.
I am very committed to ensuring that these top 20 concerns are followed up. I am not, and never will be, an advocate of intellectual, ideological or theoretical regulation. We are talking here about very specific issues, about practical concerns and obstacles, which we are going to eliminate one by one, and on which we will report once a year, during each of these forums.
I think that the idea of a charter of rights for the internal market, which came out of the Kraków forum, is a positive one. We need to establish a clear and practical tool that helps citizens and businesses to understand their rights, and to enforce and exercise them. We are already doing this with the ‘Your Europe’ portal, which serves as a handbook of European rights, and this charter idea that you have announced could provide information on these rights and on their implementation to a far wider audience.
I shall support this idea because it is, as you know and as we wish, a practical idea for citizens and SMEs. I shall support it all the more because, together with other ideas, it will make what we do here, together, in Parliament, with the Commission and the Council, more accessible to citizens, businesses and those operating at local level."@en1
