"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, there is no doubt that one of the greatest advantages of the existence of the European Union is the existence of the single market. It is one of few factors which are acting to stimulate the European economy. Since the European Commission says the main factor harming the economy is the weak and late transposition and incorrect implementation and application of EU standards concerning the single market, we are right to ask about the present attitude of the Member States and the destructive effect of what they are doing. We are increasingly seeing a return to national rhetoric and to blaming others for our economic problems. It has to be asked if this is a good route to take?
In my opinion, it is not. The recipe for the current crisis is more Europe, not less Europe. Lifting existing barriers to the European market is certain to help stimulate our economy. To achieve this, the will of the Member States is needed. Instead of this, we are increasingly hearing things being said about social dumping, people who are taking away our jobs and the need to limit the free flow of people and goods. We have to ask where this will end? In view of changes in the world economy, a return to closed national economies will definitely not help improve the situation – quite the opposite. The Commission, therefore, should monitor all violations of the single market’s rules, but should also continue to put forward new measures which will facilitate the Member States’ implementation of existing legislation."@en1
