"I voted for this report. It is 20 years this year since the single market was established. Progress has been made in many areas. However, EU consumers and companies still face serious barriers that do not allow them to make full use of the opportunities provided by the single market. A fully functioning single market is an essential condition for successful implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy and the main EU tool for stimulating the economic recovery and future growth of the Member States. Many barriers still remain owing to inappropriate or untimely implementation of legal acts in the Member States. There is also a lack of political will, especially in the Council, to reach agreements on significant measures such as the approval of e-signatures, clear intellectual property protection and copyright and redress, which results in EU citizens and companies looking upon the single market with distrust. For these reasons, I expect the European Commission to have a more significant and responsible role in overseeing the introduction of single market legal acts in the Member States, as well as in securing the smooth operation of the market."@en1
