Brussels, 13 February 2024 – In the Joint Statement issued today, this coalition of European associations underline the need for renewed focus on deepening the Single Market. The statement puts forward clear logic for fresh political investment in the Single Market and its relevance for citizens, companies and the future of the EU.

• Redressing the cost-of-living crisis felt by EU citizens
• Improving the EU business environment by addressing obstacles that companies face
• Deepening the EU Single Market should be the main political priority from now to 2030

The statement is supported by a compendium of over 100 obstacles which have been identified by associations and companies, with a view to informing the upcoming programme for Strengthening the Single Market, currently being prepared by Enrico Letta.
