"Madam President, as Chair of the Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee, I am pleased for the first time to be engaged in this Semester debate. I want to thank all of my colleagues on the Internal Market Committee – particularly Andreas Schwab – for setting out so clearly the importance of the Single Market economic recovery and growth and what that means for all citizens. We have the responsibility in our committee to try to energise the Single Market, but also to make it work for consumers, citizens, public authorities and businesses.
It is absolutely indispensable that we look at that in conjunction with economic and employment policies. We have to underpin Europe’s future growth and competitiveness by making the Single Market work better. Now is the time to be investing political capital into making that work because it underpins all our futures. It is about time that we had the opportunity to be talking about the Single Market in conjunction with these other policies. I am really indebted to Michel Barnier, who I know has had to go to a conciliation meeting, for supporting that.
In conclusion, may I say that the Single Market Act was a great step forward. I look forward to another initiative on the digital single market later this year, which will show the importance of that to European growth."@en1
