Internal market: February - April 1997

Article Abstract:

The European Commission is seeking to establish a new action plan on improving the single market, which continues to under-achieve. The plan, known as Simpler Legislation for the Internal Market, will propose new rules where needed, and will focus on ensuring that they are simple to put into practice. The areas to benefit from simplified rules will include the VAT system and financial services. The Commission is also examining issues such as freedom to cross borders, renewable energy, and telecommunications and broadcasting.
