During the inauguration of Single Market Week I had occasion to hear that citizens are unaware of the benefits the market offers them. This year’s 20th anniversary of the single market is an excellent opportunity to reflect on how best to inform citizens of these benefits and what else we need to do to free up the full potential of the internal market, in particular to support economic growth or create jobs. I am pleased that the report emphasises the need for Europeans to be better informed about the internal market. Defining the problems that citizens and businesses encounter in the single market is certainly an important step along the road towards creating a fully functioning single market. I supported the report because I consider that specifying these obstacles and the fears of Europeans is the key to adopting suitable provisions that will be an effective response to those problems which have been identified. Obviously simply creating a right is not good enough, as there is also a need for that right to be implemented by Member States. It is only then that it will be able to be effective and bring citizens measurable benefits. I am also pleased to see that the report calls for future monitoring of these identified concerns and problems on the part of citizens and businesses in the internal market, with a view to updating them. It is consequently citizens who remain the centre of attention for the EU, and I am pleased that in this report we are once again giving expression to that."@en1
