"I would like to begin by congratulating you, Commissioner, on your strategy for improving the administration of the single market. In my opinion, this strategy, together with the Single Market Act and Mario Monti's strategy on the internal market, is the best thing to happen to the EU since the approval of the Single Europe Act in the 1980s. I am well known for my opposition to deeper political integration being prescribed from on high by European politicians. It is no secret that I prefer gradual and natural integration based on a voluntary deepening of economic ties, the removal of discriminatory legislation and bureaucratic obstacles, a broader spectrum in respect of the free movement of services, a digital market without borders, freedom to relocate company head offices and consistent enforcement of the application of European law underpinning the free market. All of this is based on the measures that you have presented to us, Commissioner. They may be an effective cure for some of the Union’s current ills. I would like, however, to ask one question: Why is it only now that the Commission has agreed to rigorous enforcement of the legislation? For example, Directive 2006/123/EC on services in the internal market has been in force since 2009. We could have avoided many problems."@en1
