Barnier and the ‘vision thing’: reinvigorating the Single Market

When Michel Barnier took up up his portfolio as Internal Market and Services Commissioner in February 2010 he had a difficult job: not only reforming Europe’s financial markets but also providing a future vision for the Single Market, says Fabian Zuleeg in this Policy Brief.

Key priorities will be to implement, defend and reinforce the existing Single Market as well as providing a future vision of a Single Market that delivers for all stakeholders and is fit for the knowledge economy, so that the Single Market can fulfil its potential as the key delivery mechanism underpinning the EU2020 strategy.
