"Madam President, let us remind ourselves of how different, cumbersome and even impossible European citizens and businesses would find many of the mundane tasks we take for granted were it not for the groundwork already done on the internal market over the past 20 years. Moreover, cross-border trade in the EU has been an invaluable source of prosperity, increased access and economies of scale for our businesses.
Unfortunately, given the present design of our monetary union, trade has also been a source of imbalances between the centre and the periphery in the EU, forcing large numbers of our young unemployed people to seek jobs abroad. Our current work on the review of the Professional Qualifications Directive is acutely important, and we must make sure, when dealing with healthcare professionals, that we facilitate professional mobility without jeopardising key principles such as patient safety, and that we do not undermine training standards.
The internal market is not an end in itself but rather a means of achieving prosperity and increasing social cohesion. That must guide us in our work, so that we can arrest the race to the bottom which we have witnessed with blind liberalisation moves on many fronts."@en1
