Next year marks the 30th anniversary of the Single Market. It is an occasion to celebrate the achievements reached and the contribution this has made towards European integration. At the same time, given the current challenging situation, it is also crucial to look ahead and identify further growth potential and ways of rendering the Single Market ever more resilient.

Against this background, IMCO, as the committee responsible for the Single Market organised a public hearing to mark this important anniversary. Participating in the hearing were former IMCO Chairs. The Commission and Council also participated, as will stakeholders from business and consumer protection organisations.
The hearing was also an opportunity for Members to exchange with stakeholders on the recently published legislative proposal on the Single Market Emergency Instrument, which will be a concrete measure aimed at equipping the Single Market to better handle future crises.
