30 years of single market : taking stock and looking ahead : an analytical contribution.
The Single European Act (1986) represented a first comprehensive effort to making the EU Single Market a reality. It meant a widespread push to adopt common EU rules (instead of twelve different ones) in many areas, introducing hundreds of new pieces of legislation. In other areas, the principle of mutual recognition was introduced with Member States agreeing to give each other’s laws and technical standards the same validity as their own. The scale and ambition of the endeavour were unprecedented. Despite the Single European Act calling for completion of the Single Market by 1993, in practice it was only the beginning, rather than the end, of an ongoing process. The 30th anniversary of the Single Market in 2023 provides an opportunity to reflect on a potential new perspective and vision for the Single Market in the coming decade.Today, the achieved gains of the Single Market are widely recognised and documented (e.g. a recent estimate of the economic benefits of the Single Market highlights between 8% and 9% higher GDP on average for the EU). Still, a common message has emerged from EU industry over the last years: there is a need for a new momentum and a stronger ambition on the Single Market. The COVID-19 crisis and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have shown the fragility and risks to the integrity of the Single Market. At the same time, they have evidenced also the power of the Single Market and brought to light an additional role of the Single Market as Europe’s driver for resilience and transformation. The purpose of this paper is not to provide a comprehensive assessment of the Single Market and remaining obstacles, but rather an analytical contribution on the state of the Single Market 30 years after its establishment and the role of the Single Market as driver of EU resilience. Chapter 2 assesses developments in goods and services integration, examining both trade and cross-border establishment. In addition, progress in removing Single Market barriers is analysed, with a focus specifically on services. Chapter 3 explains the role of the Single Market as driver of EU resilience, based on case studies assessing the functioning of the Single Market in the areas of wind and solar technologies.
The "completeness" of the EU single market in comparative perspective
This publication provides a perspective on the progress of the EU's single market 30 years after its inception. By comparing the single market governance, economic flows, and political attitudes in the EU to those in the United States, this paper offers insights into Europe's progress towards completing its single market, as well as the potential benefits of further integration
The “completeness” of the EU single market in comparative perspective.
Thirty years after the 1992 deadline for “completing” the European single market, how can we judge Europe’s progress toward that goal? How should we estimate prospective gains from further steps? This paper argues that new insights on these questions can be generated by comparing Europe’s single market governance, economic flows, and some related political attitudes to the same conditions in the United States.

Removal of taxation-based obstacles and distortions in the single market in order to encourage cross border investment.
The coexistence of 27 different national tax systems in the European Union brings about significant obstacles to cross border business activity in the European Single Market. The objective of this study is to show the context and developments in European secondary law that have led to the current situation or, at least, have not yet resolved it. In addition, perspectives are shown as to how the described obstacles to cross border investment in the Internal Market can be countered both in the short and long term, both at the fundamental and also at the procedural or administrative level.
