Single Market: Realizing Europe's Heart and Preserving Open Borders

The European single market is the cornerstone and driving force of the European economy.

As the world's largest single market, it offers unprecedented potential. It promotes economic cooperation and prosperity within the EU and strengthens its sovereignty and competitiveness externally.

From the perspective of the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK), the EU single market is still not fully realized but remains fragmented in many areas. For the practical functioning of the free cross-border movement of goods, services, people, and capital among member states, it is essential to dismantle numerous remaining barriers and obstacles. The single market, as a free and integrated common market, is explicitly an objective of the Union and should not be instrumentalized or restricted to achieve other EU goals.
