"With the pressure of the economic crisis, political dithering and unfinished projects, the EU is at risk of becoming the big loser in the global competitive environment. We look in frustration at the emerging economies and become indignant when multinational companies like Nokia or Arcelor decide to move their businesses from Europe. However, Europe expects robust measures and not moaning. In fact, we Europeans have the power in our hands to change what seems at the moment to be our inevitable destiny. One of the right responses is to go back to our own resources. We must complete one of the most important projects, namely, the single European market. We have extraordinary potential available to us which we do not utilise because we do not have common legislation recognised by all Member States, and we do not have common regulations in as many of the areas as possible deriving from the common market. We have instead numerous barriers. This is the very moment when it is the European Commission’s duty to offer the same solution to the redundancies undertaken by Nokia in Jucu in Romania as it did in the case of those redundancies in Bochum in Germany. However, these solutions are only a gesture. Without a functioning single market, the EU will merely remain a bystander watching their competitors advance."@en1
