"Mr Harbour, the fact that the European Council is taking ownership of the Single Market Act is already a genuine step forward. If prime ministers or Heads of State or Government are committed to it, then their ministers are also more likely to commit themselves to it in turn. However, you are right; the process does need to be monitored. That is what I am doing, for example, in the course of my visits to each of the Member States.
Since you mentioned citizens: how are they themselves going to take ownership of this single market? How are we going to reconcile them with the single market? Some very concrete tools exist. You mentioned the Points of Single Contact. I am referring to Solvit and ‘Your Europe’.
These are some of the tools that I check are working during each of my visits. They did not always work: in my own country, I discovered, for example, that until a year and a half ago, the Solvit system was being operated by an intern. Things have since improved. I am therefore performing these checks on the ground to ensure that the tools that are closest to citizens and businesses are working properly. This is the first priority in this national and European strategy for growth."@en1
