From 15 to 17 September 2025, a delegation composed of Members from the IMCO Committee and led by its Vice-Chair, Ms Kamila Gasiuk-Pihowicz, visited Denmark and Sweden to discuss Single Market issues such as digitalisation, consumer protection, procurement, and internal market implementation. The visit included meetings with key government and business stakeholders, including Ms Caroline Stage, the Danish Minister for Digital Affairs and site visits to key industrial and transport hubs.

The aim of the mission was to assess how EU legislation related to digitalisation and the internal market is implemented at local and national levels; to explore the digital transformation of public administration and procurement, including efforts to increase transparency and facilitate SME participation; to discuss challenges and opportunities faced by Danish and Swedish industries in the EU internal market; to address consumer protection issues and gather information on consumer advocacy efforts in both countries; and to examine the role of key industrial hubs, in driving competitiveness, innovation and sustainability within the internal market. To achieve these objectives, the delegation met with government officials, public procurement authorities, business associations, consumer organisations, and visited industrial and transport facilities, in order to ensure a comprehensive understanding of best practices and challenges in the EU internal market context.
