This public hearing will bring together policymakers, experts and stakeholders to examine the Single Market Strategy, adopted on 21 May 2025 by the European Commission. This strategy aims to strengthen the Single Market by modernising governance, removing barriers, and ensuring consistent implementation across the EU. Renowned academic, former Prime Minister of Italy and former European Commissioner Professor Mario Monti will deliver a keynote speech at this event.
This new strategy has the intended aim of helping 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 will 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. This hearing will gather Commission high-level officials, 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 is available below.
