This hearing brings together policymakers, experts and stakeholders to examine the Single Market Strategy adopted by the Commission on 21 May 2025. The Strategy aims to expand and strengthen the Single Market. It sets out to modernise the governance framework, remove barriers within the EU and prevent market fragmentation. It also introduces a fresh approach to implementation and enforcement, aiming to ensure more effective and consistent outcomes across the Union.
The new Strategy should help companies scale up and compete globally, as well as enable citizens to fully reap the benefits that a further integrated Single Market offers them in terms of cross-border provision of services and free movement of goods.
In that perspective, relevant issues are to be addressed, regarding the implementation of the rules, the existing regulatory and administrative barriers, the challenges posed by the current trade tensions and the opportunities that emerge from the promotion of the policies for the Single Market, as a standing pillar of EU interests and core values.
These are key issues for the work of the IMCO Committee. The objective of the hearing is to invite high-level representatives of the Commission, representatives of companies and consumers and academic experts to discuss the actions foreseen in the Strategy and state of play and challenges related to the completion of the Single Market. The detailed programme of the hearing will be available here.
