The Need for an Internal Market Ombudsman
Harris, Stephen
capital, goods, services, workers
general
decision making/policy-making
[Foreword]. This article arises from private conversations with industry and other sources over the past 5 or so years about their general impressions of the workings of the European Union (EU) Internal Market. Those discussions concerned primarily the development and cementing of the level playing field in the manufacture, sale and use of products subject to EU New Approach directives intended to abolish technical barriers to trade. Those directives are made under Article 100A of the Treaty of Rome and provide a framework for the manufacture and supply of such products. Whilst the directives themselves are considered generally to be working well, making the level playing field a clearer reality is proving more troublesome. There are many possible reasons for this. One of the most likely is that serious attention is only just starting to be paid to the need for concerted action by the current 15 EU member States to ensure that measures are in place and working properly to check that directives are being fairly and evenly implemented and administered across the EU. However, who or what checks the enforcers to ensure that they understand directives’ requirements properly and place no unnecessary burdens on those affected by them? Government officials in the Member States have policy responsibility for ensuring that directives are implemented and administered faithfully. But disputes concerning a product’s right to bear the CE marking or alleged barriers to trade in such products, for example, are more likely to be referred to lawyers …… and ultimately the Courts, ending with the European Court of Justice. This is a lengthy and expensive process. Business is calling increasingly for measures to avoid such experiences; to provide faster remedies, and to weed out only the most contentious cases for consideration by the Courts. An Internal Market Ombudsman (IMO) possibly provides one remedy. Such a facility is not without precedent and could hold one of the keys to Making the Internal Market Work! Further dedicated research is required to crystallise the issues and to assist informed debate. If papers such as this start that ball rolling, they will have achieved much.

“Characterising European Market Integration and Economic Policy”
O’Donnell, Rory.
economic policy
general
This paper begins by locating the EU in the classical definition of the stages of economic integration. This uncovers the central problem that confronts analysis of the EU: how is deep economic integration achieved and governed in the absence of centralised political authority? In Section 3, we then compare the EU with two other types of an economic arrangement: multi-lateral trade liberalisation and the management of a domestic economy, particularly a continental federation. The EU lies between the international and the domestic, sharing certain characteristics of each. It is emphasised that the preservation of an “international” dimension frequently requires stronger, rather than weaker, EU rules and more, not less, EU competence. Section 4 examines some difficult issues concerning the evolution and significance of the internal market. Should the internal market be understood as the eventual implementation of a blueprint agreed in the Treaty of Rome, or as the novel outcome of the Community’s particular evolution? Why is the European internal market so prominent, given the constraints on the EU’s powers and the emergence of globalisation? Section 5 characterises Europe’s emerging economic policy, offers an explanation for its unusual nature and discusses alternative views of its effectiveness and potential. In section 6, we summarise the wider argument of which this paper forms a part.

"International Production and the Periphery of the European Union"
Pournarakis, Mike.
europeanisation/europeanization & European identity
international economy
historical development of EC (pre-1986)
general
globalisation/globalization
The dramatic rise in international production in recent years stands out as the most decisive factor in the globalization of economic activity. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been growing very rapidly in the recent past while international trade ceased being the principle mechanism linking national economies. It is rather the interlinkages of trade and FDI that influence the economic growth and welfare of countries in a global environment that undergoes continuous change. In this trend, the European Union (EU), plays a protagonist's role. Since 1985 we have witnessed a shift in the European Community (EC) from trade-policy-led to production-based integration. The unification of the EC marker was accompanied by a massive FDI inflow while intra-EC investment exhibited a spectacular increase with an unprecedented level of merger and acquisition activity. The EC periphery does not seem to be in position to partake in these dramatic changes in the area of international production. The heavy concentration of transnational activity in the central core of the European Union is in the center of many concerns voiced by the periphery. This paper addresses the above problem. First, the paper attempts to assess the extent and nature of the problem. Secondly, it looks into possible explanations on a cause and effect basis. Finally, the question is raised whether corporate integration supports regional integration in the EU in the absence of a comprehensive FDI policy.

"New institutionalism, the single market and EU governance"
Bulmer, Simon.
governance: EU & national level
general
general
integration theory (see also researching and writing the EU in this section)
This paper seeks to suggest a way in which the different levels of research analysis on governance of the European Union can be linked up through application of a middle-range theory, namely new institutionalism. The paper draws on the methods used in, and findings of, a study of the governance of the Single European Market (1985-96) (Armstrong and Bulmer 1997 forthcoming). The paper has four parts. The first simply seeks to identify what "the governance of the EU" is and how to have a complete picture of it. The second part looks at new institutionalism--specifically its historical institutionalist variant--and locates this approach at the intersection of comparative politics, international relations and legal theory, the core areas affected by EU governance. Can historical institutionalism benefit from this location to "capture" the different facets of EU governance? And if so, how? In the third part attention is focused on the Single European Market, with a view to showing how historical institutionalism may encompass the scope of EU governance. Finally, the paper aims to draw some conclusions about whether historical institutionalism is "up to the job."

"Does the European Union matter? The effects of the single market on national industry aid policies"
Dylla, Bronwyn.
industrial policy
historical development of EC (pre-1986)
general
competition policy
trade policy
This paper will demonstrate that the increased strength of the European Commission and the pressure from a liberalized European market have had little effect on one aspect of national industrial policy, the level of national subsidies. This poses a paradox because national subsidies, also known as state aid, are a non-tariff form of market protection; and both liberalizing the European market and strengthening the Commission's role in Competition Policy are factors exerting pressure to reduce levels of initial protection. When the Single European Act was passed in 1986, the European market expedited the liberalization process, and European Community member states committed themselves to removing tariff and non-tariff barriers to trade. However, aid levels have not been substantially reduced, and some measurements show the level rising after 1986. It appears that the pressure to protect national markets from increased competition is greater than European and international pressures to reduce national subsidy levels. This paper analyzes the level of aid during the period 1981-92, that is, before and after increased European trade liberalization, and offers evidence showing the greater salience of national preferences of EU member states compared to the influence of supranational economic and legal pressures.

"Pluralism, the single market and the citizen: The conflict over agenda setting in media ownership regulation"
Harcourt, A. J.
media
general
competition policy
business/private economic activity
This study will examine the politics of problem definition in the area of EU media concentration policy. The main aim of this article is to show how and why problem definition represents a crucial aspect of intra-organisational conflict and bargaining in the EU policy process, particularly by exploring the relationship between problem definition and the choice of policy instruments and solutions. A secondary aim of the article is to consider policy co-ordination in Brussels and infra-organisational conflict from a unique point of view. Conventional wisdom argues that policy issues are badly co-ordinated within the Commission (Stevens and Stevens 1996). The more or less hidden assertion is that the loose boundaries (in terms of competencies) between one DG and another originate a very cumbersome and overlapping treatment of the same issue by different actors within the Commission. In its turn, this creates a problem of policy co-ordination. Stevens and Stevens (1996:10), who have recently reviewed the state of administrative reform within the Commission, contend that the conclusion to be drawn from the foregoing survey of diagnosis, prescription and action over the past two decades is a broadly negative one. This article examines the emergence of legislation for media concentration in the EU as a case study in agenda-setting. Concentration of the media industry has become a significant issue in the EU during the last decade. This is largely due to two consequential developments: new technologies and national deregulation. Particularly in the broadcasting industry, new technologies such as geostationary satellites, digital transmission, and fiber optic cables have led to rapid market changes. Due to the large financial investments required by these technologies, media companies have engaged in mergers and acquisitions to amass the necessary financial capital. National governments have aided this by relaxing media ownership rules, including those restricting cross media ownership.

"Environment and the single market: The EU’s packaging waste directive"
Quirk, Nancy.
general
compliance/national implementation
environmental policy (including international arena)
This paper will attempt to provide another case analysis of the constellation of factors in providing impetus for innovation in the area of environmental policy at the EU/EC level. The paper will focus mainly on the evolution of policy instruments in the "problem space" (Kingdon 1984) of increasing levels of waste generation and the potential trade distortions of national level efforts to stem this problem. The evolution of ‘policy beliefs’ regarding environmental policy directions in an era of increasing globalization--both in an economic sense and in terms of awareness regarding the global impact of environmental degradation--will be explored via an examination of the "policy content" of both past and current legislative efforts in the area of waste management.

"Globalisation, change and European integration"
Rosamond, Ben.
general
globalisation/globalization
integration theory (see also researching and writing the EU in this section)
historical development of EC (pre-1986)
The primary purpose of this paper is to explore the usefulness of using ideas about globalisation to assist the theorisation of change in contemporary European integration. It reviews the ways in which external context has been used to explain developments in regional integration in Europe and thinks more generally about the globalisation-regionalisation interface. The paper goes on to explore the assumptions about globalisation, global context and the structuring of interests which reside (but which are often unacknowledged) in such accounts. These assumptions tend to revolve around highly rationalistic conceptions of interest which are then separated from the external economic environment so that changes in this environment induce utility-maximizing actors into various forms of strategic re-evaluation. Debate then tends to concentrate on identifying the key actors (state, supranational or non-state) involved in and capable of devising appropriate programmes of action. As a challenge to these assumptions, the paper then draws on constructivist arguments to explore--in relation particularly to the origins of the single market programme--the relationship between ideas, interests and identity on the one hand and the social construction of a context of global threat to ‘Europe’ on the other.

historical development of EC (pre-1986)
European Court of Justice/Court of First Instance
In this paper, I chart the evolution of the European Community, combining three different perspectives. First, I examine the major features of the integration process since 1959. The evidence shows that European market and polity developed symbiotically, as the activities of economic actors, organized interests, litigators and judges, and the EC’s legislative and regulatory organs became linked, creating a self-sustaining, dynamic system. Second, I pro-vide an overview of the ‘constitutionalization’ of the treaty system, and survey the activities of the European Court. Among other things, constitutionalization secured property rights for transnational market actors, expanded the discretionary powers of national judges, and re-duced the EC’s intergovernmental character. Third, I examine in detail the impact of the ad-judicating the Rome Treaty’s free movement of goods provisions (Art. 28-30) on the market building and political integration.

general
“Language and Markets” is the topic of this article, which examines their relationship in ten short points. Specifically, it addresses the interrelationship between res publica (the state), lingua (the language) and forum (the market). The establishment of both the res publica and the forum has often led to a decrease in linguistic diversity. At least, this is true if one considers the building of nation states. However, the same does not apply to European reality, despite the fact that the EU has succeeded in establishing an efficient forum and a common res publica. The article goes on to explore the general state of the phenomena of linguae, both in the European res publicae and in the European forum. It then explores the legal implications for national language policies when confronted with the four market freedoms in the European forum in detail. It concludes that the European forum does not seriously threaten European linguistic diversity, since a considerable degree of flexibility exists. In this respect the European res publica can learn from the European forum since the the former includes 20 official languages and preaches a rigid language system which will need some adaptation without putting linguistic diversity at risk. The author ends by stating that in the context of the very specific European “demoicracy” (a intertwined set of many democracies), market forces will not bring about the end of Europe’s linguistic diversity. Rather Europe will continue to offer a combination of a rather unique degree of economic unity with a rather unique degree of linguistic diversity.

{From the Introduction]. The important date set for the entering into operation of the internal market, i.e. 1 January this year, also marks the date for the entering into force of an EC Action Plan called the Karolus Programme'. EIPA is pleased to be involved in the running of this Programme which was established by a Decision of the Council of the European Communities on 22 September 1992 and has the objective of contributing to the effective functioning of the newly completed internal market. The Karolus Programme is a Community training scheme which aims to achieve its objective by means of organizing, over a period of five years, exchanges between the 12 Member State administrations of 1900 national officials who are engaged in the implementation of internal market legislation. The Programme also envisages seminars for the exchange participants, which are held at EIPA's headquarters in Maastricht before and after the exchange period and deal with the EC's functioning and activities, and make analyses of the exchange experiences respectively.

general
lobbying/interest representation
business/private economic activity
[From the Introduction]. Research into European level interest representation has mushroomed in recent years. Much of this effort has been directed at case studies of business sectors (Gardner, 1991; Greenwood, Grote and Ronit, 1992; van Schendelen, 1993; Mazey and Richardson, 1993; Pedler and van Schendelen, 1994; Greenwood, 1995), identifying patterns of private interest involvement in sectoral governance and collective action. This case study based research has provided the foundations for development to further, more theoretical, stages in the research process. In particular there is now a good empirical basis for theoretical development in sectoral governance involving private interests, and the dynamics of collective action at the European level. In these notes we draw upon insights from case study research of business sectors to present tentative ideas, and suggestions for further research, for the study of European level collective action. More precisely, the focus of our interest is the conditions under which competition and collaboration occur between intra sectoral groups and fora operating at the European level.

integration theory (see also researching and writing the EU in this section)
general
[From the Introduction]. The European Community is in the midst of attempting to create a "Single Unitary Market" across western Europe (European Community, 1985; Moravcsik, 1991; Garrett, 1992). This project is fascinating for two reasons. First, some think we are witnessing one of the most important peaceful assaults upon national sovereignty in history. The construction of the single unitary market will require nation states to give up power to control their economic and geographic boundaries. Analyzing the negotiations towards a single unitary market - and taking particular notice of which aspects of the market are more difficult to change than others - gives us insights into the multiple dimensions of sovereignty. Second, it provides scholars interested in economic sociology, the sociology of markets, and political economy an opportunity to see if their theories can give them any leverage on what the causes and outcomes of this process are likely to be.

This paper illustrates how Jacques Delors' presidency of the European Commission (1985-1995) can be analysed using terms and concepts taken from the study of political leadership in democratic societies. In particular, it applies Max Weber's categorisation of the legitimation of authority into 'traditional', 'charismatic', and 'legal-rational' ideal-types to two 'moments' in Delors' ten-year leadership: the writing of the White Papers of 1985 (Completing the Internal Market) and of 1993 (on Growth, Competitiveness and Employment). This approach enables us to analyse the changes that occurred over time in Delors' presidency, and to draw more general conclusions about authority, leadership and legitimacy in the EU.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the effects of the implementation of the Internal Market Programme and to propose ideas on how its potential can be better exploited. First, the paper offers a broader perspective to the analysis of the Internal Market by exploring its close links to the rapidly changing economic environment. Second, it puts together a comprehensive body of empirical evidence, based on the analysis of trade, FDI, M&A, prices and regulation data, which allows for a thorough stock taking exercise of what has been achieved in terms of European economic integration. Thirdly, it analyses the remaining barriers to the completion of the Internal Market while presenting a critical review of the adequacy of the instruments that have been used so far. Overall the paper concludes that the Internal Market is a powerful instrument to promote economic integration and to increase competition within the EU and that it has been the source of large macro-economic benefits. However, these gains could have been substantially larger if the removal of most of the remaining cross-border barriers was achieved. In particular, the initial expectations that the Internal Market would serve as a catalyst for creating a more dynamic, innovative and competitive economy at the world level have not been met. Various reasons for this are identified, namely: the slow and sometimes incomplete implementation of directives, the inadequacy of some instruments, the persistence of barriers to cross-border trade and investment particularly in services and the slow development of an Internal Market for knowledge. Building on the evidence and analysis provided, the paper concludes with eight suggestions to guide the design of policymaking for the Internal Market in the 21st century.

Opportunities, threats and unintended consequences: The impact on national welfare states of three EU policy processes
Mabbett, Deborah.
welfare state
employment/unemployment

general
business/private economic activity
decision making/policy-making
[From the introduction]. We trace the insurance case through three policy processes. The creation of a single market in insurance proceeded through the traditional ‘Community Method’ of intergovernmental agreement in Council on directives which are then implemented by through supranational regulation in the form of decisions of the European Court of Justice (ECJ). Some of the central issues about the regulation of private insurance and the reform of social insurance are also addressed in the various deliberative fora that the EU now provides for nongovernmental as well as government policy actors to participate in exchanges about policy approaches, share information and resolve common problems. These fora include the European Employment Strategy (EES) and other OMCs. Our purpose in drawing attention to the interrelated impact of these three processes on this policy area is to challenge any assumption that social policy is addressed in the soft law processes of the OMCs while economic integration remains the domain of the hard processes of directives and legal cases. It is true that the OMCs work primarily as ‘reform levers’ providing ideational resources (and sometimes more) for member state governments seeking to reform their welfare states. However, these levers are also pulled by directives and Court decisions, so we see all three processes as affecting social policy through national-level policy shifts and responses to EU-level re-regulation.

intellectual property
general
This article has two main purposes. First it provides background information on patents and explains how patents become trade-related, as they are a source of distortions in trade and competition. Secondly, it analyses the advantages and disadvantages of the different patent systems that coexist in Europe and examines the recent proposal for a European Council Regulation on the Community patent in light of the shortcoming of the existing systems. This draft Regulation provides for the coexistence of the Community, ‘European’ and national patent systems. This option of coexistence although an improvement over today, does not eliminate but only reduces distortions in the European internal market. However, it may have been the only feasible option with the present level of knowledge regarding the socially optimal rate of innovation and the responsiveness of socially useful innovation to changes in patent law provisions.

general
In this Commentary, CEPS Senior Fellow Jacques Pelkmans is mystified to explain why Mario Monti’s recent report, A new strategy for the single market, has not provoked much reaction, neither among stakeholders in the 'Brussels circuit' nor in the member states. In his view, the report should have stimulated lively debate on its highly strategic reflections and active discussions and positioning on the numerous concrete proposals. In the hope of sparking just such a debate, Pelkmans briefly sets out the main lines of the Monti report and calls attention to its most critical aspects.

How social the single market? CEPS Commentaries, 13 April 2010
Pelkmans, Jacques.
general
general
The social dimension of the internal market has been a theme for debate ever since 1987, when Jacques Delors introduced it as a counterbalance to the emerging 'Europhoria' of European business about the EC-1992 single market programme. Although the complaints about the lack of a 'Social Europe' make it into the local and European press much more easily than a sober analysis of the actual meaning of the label and the factual progress made, this CEPS Commentary encourages the reader to step back for a moment and reflect on what 'the' social dimension of the single market does and does not mean and to assess where we stand today. Only then, it seems to me, is it possible to draw some inferences about the potential and scope of 'putting the social dimension upfront' in a new internal market initiative.

Single Market Revival. CEPS Commentaries, 17 March 2010
Pelkmans, Jacques.
Europe 2020
general
Suddenly, after several years of diminished importance, the single market seems to have climbed back up the EU political agenda. Its rediscovery by the political leadership in Europe may well be due to the perceived role of the single market in the financial crisis or it may have been prompted indirectly by the blatant failure of the FSAP to deliver crisis-preventing or crisis-proof regulation and supervision. Whatever the reason, CEPS Senior Fellow Jacques Pelkmans applauds its newly elevated status and offers thoughtful advice to the European Commission on how best to proceed with specific reference to the EU2020 strategy. He further suggests three good candidates for widening the scope of the single market revival.

The case for 'more single Market.' CEPS Policy Brief No. 234/February 2011
Pelkmans., Jacques
general
With the Commission’s consultation period on the Single Market Act nearing its end, this CEPS Policy Brief urges the EU to get its act together and give immediate priority to deepening and widening the Single Market. The author argues, however, that it is essential that the legitimacy questions surrounding ‘more Single Market’ are taken seriously at both EU and at national level.

The Single Market in need of a strategic relaunch. Egmont Paper No. 43, February 2011
Heremans, Tinne.
general
On the 27th of October 2010 the Commission finally published its long-awaited Communication “Towards a Single Market Act”2 with the ambitious objective
of relaunching the Single Market. It is beyond doubt that the market integration project is indeed in need of a serious boost. On the one hand, the “acquis”
should be buttressed more firmly against protectionist reactions, citizen distrust and integration lethargy more generally. On the other hand, the untapped
growth potential – in domains suffering from persistent bottlenecks as well as in new sectors – needs to be better exploited. It will however be argued in this
contribution that, in its present form, the Commission’s “Draft Single Market Act” (Draft SMA) does not contain all the strategic building blocks needed to
address the key challenge of reengaging the different actors in the market integration
project and genuinely revamp the Single Market. Therefore, on the basis of an examination of the gaps and defaults in the Draft SMA’s approach, and against the background of the preparatory documents presented by Mario
Monti3 and the European Parliament4, some suggestions for possible strategic improvements to be included in the final SMA will be made.5
Hence, this contribution will first set out the main points of the Draft SMA and the most important preparatory documents, focusing primarily on the strategic
elements contained therein. In a second part, a critical appraisal of the Draft SMA’s strategic approach will be provided, followed by some suggestions for
improvement.

Is the EU internal market suffering from an integration deficit? Estimating the 'home-bias effect.' CEPS Working Document No. 348, May 2011
Pacchioli, Consuelo.
general
trade policy
As an alternative to measuring the extent of market integration, ‘home-bias’ indicates the degree to which economic agents ‘over-prefer’ to transact with domestic agents rather than agents from other EU countries. Such an exclusive preference is measured against a benchmark of (ideal) market integration and is called ‘home-bias’.
This CEPS Working Document by former CEPS Researcher Consuelo Pacchioli addresses the estimation of a ‘normal trade’ gravity equation to establish the possible existence of home-bias effects in the US market and the EU internal market, which are the two most integrated regions in the world. Estimations based on pooled OLS cross-section analysis, with the novelty of the inclusion of time dummies in order to obtain unique indexes and panel data-fixed effects, both reject the hypothesis of no internal barrier to trade. This shows a tendency to ‘over-trade’ within borders both in the US and the EU. Taking the finding for the US market as a benchmark, a direct comparison with the EU internal market is considered: the estimated results show that an average EU country still trades more within its borders than with other member states – about three to four times as much as a random US state does. A number of explanations are offered for this relatively low level of EU internal market integration.

This study expertly assesses the evolving relationship between Norway and the European Union, the centrepiece of which is the European Economic Area (EEA). Faced with an increasingly outdated network of relationships with the EU, Norway finds itself marginalised from policy-making and subject instead to policy-taking. This report evaluates Norway’s position in relation to the ‘future of Europe’ debate as well as a range of hypothetical options that Norway may contemplate, focusing on several key policy areas including the single market, the macroeconomic agenda, justice and home affairs, and foreign security and defence policies.

"Completing the Single Market in financial services: the politics of competing advocacy coalitions"
Quaglia, Lucia
regulations/regulatory policies
capital, goods, services, workers
general
Why has the completion of the single market in financial services proved so difficult and time consuming? This paper addresses this question by applying a revised version
of the ‘advocacy coalition framework’, modified so as to incorporate the role of material interests as well as ideas, to the empirical record of the policy-making
processes of key pieces of legislation dealing with securities trading in the EU. It is argued that in almost all the Lamfalussy directives, the main (but, by no means,
the only) line of division was between a ‘Northern European’ coalition and a ‘Southern European’ one. This was due to differences in the national regulatory
frameworks, the configuration of national financial systems and their competitiveness
(hence, ‘interests’). However, the tension was also due to different belief systems
(hence, ‘ideas’) about financial services regulation.

The Internal EU Market: How Public Administrations can do better
Nicolaides, Phedon
public policy/public administration
general
Excerpt from the Introduction: In this article I examine a proposal of the Single Market Act that concerns directly the
performance of national authorities. If the proposal is adopted it could have far reaching and surprising implications. Although it does not aim to create ‘hard’ law, it relies on a sort of peer review that can create benchmarks of quality for public policy and institutional performance. The internal market has always been perceived as the place where companies compete. It may now be transformed into an arena of contest for public administrations.

Renewables and the EU Internal Electricity Market: The case for an arranged marriage. CEPS Policy Brief No. 264, 15 March 2012
Teusch, Jonas
energy policy (Including international arena)
general
This Policy Brief argues that pursuing the renewables objective could contribute to the completion of the internal electricity market, help to overcome opposition to transmission projects and decrease the market power of incumbents. Conversely, an integrated internal electricity market means less price volatility in specific regional markets, which allows for more efficient deployment and grid integration of renewables. Three sets of recommendations are proposed.

law & legal affairs-general (includes international law)
compliance/national implementation
general
Effective enforcement and compliance with EU law is not just a legal necessity, it is also of economic interest since the potential of the Single Market will be fully exploited. Enforcement barriers generate unjustified costs and hindrances or uncertainty for cross-border business and might deprive consumers from receiving the full benefit of greater choice and/or cheaper offers.
The EU has developed several types of enforcement efforts (preventive initiatives, pre-infringement initiatives and formal infringement procedures). More recently, the emphasis has been placed on effective prevention.
This CEPS Policy Brief analyses the functioning of one preventive mechanism (the 98/34 Directive) and assesses its potential to detect and prevent technical or other barriers in the course of the last 25 years. Based on an empirical approach, it shows that this amazing mechanism has successfully prevented thousands of new technical barriers from arising in the internal goods market.

Enforcement in the EU Single Market. CEPS Paperbacks. October 2012
Pelkmans, Jacques
Correia de Brito, Anabela
general
harmonisation/standards/mutual recognition
Enforcement of and compliance with laws and regulations in the single market of the European Union are not only legally necessary, but also of crucial economic importance for business, consumers and the EU economy at large. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current EU enforcement landscape and its functioning. The classical infringement route via the Court of Justice of the European Union remains critical as a last resort, but it is increasingly seen as very slow and costly. The new emphasis relies heavily on a range of pre-infringement as well as preventive initiatives that prevent new technical barriers from arising. They also tend to be far less costly and more rapid, informal and effective in pursuing a properly functioning internal market. These improvements are welcome news for the single market, yet EU enforcement still has problems to solve, for example in the area of public procurement.

Mellowing Meroni: Hows ESMA can help build the single market. CEPS Commentaries, 18 February 2014
Pelkmans, Jacques
Simoncini, Marta
general
In examining the long-awaited opinion given January 22nd by the CJEU in the case concerning the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), this Commentary argues that the ruling is important for the insights it yields into the modern understanding of the Meroni non-delegation doctrine. The authors, Jacques Pelkmans and Marta Simoncini, aim to extract the potential implications of the ESMA case for the place and significance of the Meroni doctrine in building up the single market. They demonstrate that the ESMA case is yet another manifestation of a slow process of “mellowing Meroni’, which is a critical condition for a new single market strategy aiming to end the remaining fragmentation of the single market – not only in financial markets but also in network industries – and to ensure its ‘proper functioning’.

general
The announcement of the new European Commission is encouraging for single market supporters, especially in terms of how internal co-ordination and cross functional working will be organised. It is particularly significant that the responsibility for the single market in both goods and services is to be combined under one Commissioner portfolio. There is much to be gained from a combined focus, especially on enforcing the existing rules. A unified Consumer focus is also much welcomed. The European Parliament's Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee (IMCO), which I had the privilege to Chair over the last five years, was extremely critical of the fragmented approach to consumer policy and legislation adopted by the outgoing Commission. A strong consumer focus underpins a dynamic and well-functioning market place and encourages more competition.

The Economics of Single Market Regulation. Bruges European Economic Policy Briefing 25/2012
Pelkmans, Jacques
general
In the vast domain of the internal market, ‘regulation’ is EU’s core business. Therefore, a good appreciation of European economic integration requires a sound analytical economic perspective of EU regulation. Since the Single European Act, economists have gradually improved the economic analysis of EU regulation. EU policy-makers began to accept cost/benefit analysis with the Maastricht treaty and nowadays the rigorous logic of Better Regulation and regulatory impact analysis has become routine in the EU circuit, although less with the EU legislator (EP and Council). The present BEEP Briefing provides an accessible survey of the state of the art of the evidence-based, economic approach to EU Single Market regulation. This approach puts the subsidiarity test, proportionality and necessity on a firmer analytical footing and offers a healthy discipline of the precautionary principle. The acceptance of economic, evidence-based regulatory logic has caused a change of mind-sets in the European Commission: EU regulation is now routinely discussed in terms of incentives, asymmetries of information, multiple policy options (instead of going for a single one only), market-based instruments, quantification of benefits and costs, red-tape alerts and cost-effectiveness. Last but not least, this also matters for national regulation. Given an ever deeper and wider internal market than two decades ago, not to speak of the Eurozone, the regulatory autonomy of Member States has to be balanced against the possible consequences of undermining or preventing the ‘proper functioning’ of the internal market. The key words here are pro-competitive reforms and ‘diversity’’, based on distinct national preferences, yet minimizing costly ‘regulatory heterogeneity’ arising from decentralized decision-making but without being rooted in genuine differences in preferences.

The long road towards the European single market. Bruegel Working Paper 2015/01, March 2015
Mariniello, Mario
Sapir, André
Terzi, Alessio
general
The single market is often perceived as the panacea for Europe’s economic troubles. It is believed that completing the single market would boost welfare, stimulate growth and increase European competitiveness.
• However, identifying and quantifying the channels through which market integration is expected to engender growth is methodologically complex. Although the overwhelming prediction from the literature is for single market integration to generate positive and significant aggregate effects, we conclude that the impact so far has fallen short of initial expectations, because:
(1) Barriers continue to prevail in the EU, preventing the exploitation of the potential benefits of full market integration
(2) ‘Complementary policies’ to support the single market were not, or were insufficiently, put in place
(3) The single market project has not sufficiently been framed as a key part of the process of creative destruction that Europe needs to embrace to successfully modernise its economy.
• That single market integration generates positive and significant aggregate effects does not imply that its effects are positive and significant for every sector. There is therefore an important role for European Union and national distributional policies to ensure that losers are sufficiently compensated by the winners, and to overcome political resistance to completing the single market.

multi-speed integration
This paper conceptualizes the European Union (EU) as a system of differentiated integration
characterized by both variation in levels of centralization (vertical differentiation) and
variation in territorial extension (horizontal differentiation) across policy areas. Differentiation
has been a concomitant of deepening and widening and has increased and consolidated as
the EU’s powers, policy scope, and membership have grown. Turning to explanation, the
paper attributes the pattern of differentiated integration in the EU to the interaction of
interdependence and politicization. Differentiation among the member states (internal
differentiation) results from supranational integration under conditions of high
interdependence and politicization. By contrast, external differentiation (the selective policy
integration of non-member states) occurs in highly interdependent but weakly politicized
policy areas. These constellations are illustrated in case studies of differentiation in the
internal market, monetary union, and defence.

Strengthening the beating heart of the European economy. EPC Commentary, 29 September 2015
Harbour, Malcolm
Zuleeg, Fabian
general
In an atmosphere of crisis, distrust and fragmentation, policy-makers in Brussels are mostly focused on fighting fire without having an ambitious vision for the future – in effect, muddling through, as has been the characteristic response in recent years. However, by remaining in crisis response mode, the European Union (EU) is failing to provide the basis for the
compromise politics that can get the European system out of the current impasse: the EU needs to be engaged in a positive
sum game to ensure that countries see an incentive for making deals.

What strategy for a genuine Single Market? CEPS Special Report No. 126/January 2016
Pelkmans, Jacques.
general
This strategy paper focuses on making the most of the EU single market. The EU should pursue a genuine single market, and treat it as a common asset of all its citizens, economic operators and member states. The economic case to be made on behalf of the genuine single market is powerful and even more so due to the findings of recent empirical economic research. However, only the genuine single market can realise the expectations of such large gains. Weak, ‘feasible’ action plans cannot! The strategy is based, first of all, on a clear design of the genuine single market and subsequently concentrates on ‘what it takes’. Ten types of actions sum up ‘what it takes’: five at the EU level, four at the EU-member state interface, and finally, the realisation of legitimacy and acceptance.

By bundling the manifold policy expertise of the
researchers of the Institute for European Studies
(IES), this paper forms part of a series of analyses
investigating the potential implications of a ‘Brexit’
scenario for different EU policies. All papers ask the
same three questions: 1) What is the state of the EU
policy in focus? 2) What is the UK’s role/interest in
this policy field? 3) What are the potential implications
of a ‘Brexit’ scenario at the policy-level?
After Claire Dupont and Florian Trauner introduce the
project, Richard Lewis sets the historical and cultural
context and explains how the UK and the EU have
come to such a low-point in their relations. Next, five
policy fields are analysed: justice and home affairs; free
movement policies; EU external representation; the
(digital) single market; and environmental policy.

Are Consumer Decision-Making Phenomena a Fourth Market Failure?. ESRI WP455. April 2013
Lunn, Pete
general
This paper challenges the increasingly common view that the findings of behavioural economics constitute a fourth type of market failure. The market failure framework elevates the standard competitive market model to the status of an ideal. It provides us with tools to identify departures from the ideal model and to deduce a direction policy might take to restore it. Many behavioural phenomena also imply departures from the ideal model. Yet rather than allowing
us to deduce a good direction for policy, the findings question the legitimacy and usefulness of this deductive theoretical framework for policy analysis. Two policy problems are highlighted here: the validity of inferring that consumers’ choices after an intervention improve outcomes relative to their previous choices, and the potential for distributional consequences when policy alters consumers’ choices. The paper concludes that, given these problems, conceiving of the relevant behavioural phenomena as an additional form of market failure is potentially to misunderstand their implications for consumer and competition policy.

Making the Single Market work: Launching a
2022 masterplan
for Europe. EPC Discussion Paper 28 August 2019
Bjerkem, Johan
Harbour, Malcolm
general
The European Single Market guarantees the free movement of goods, services, people and capital, removing internal borders and regulatory obstacles to trade within the European Union (EU). Over the last 25 years, it has evolved into the largest single market and the world’s most integrated transnational market. However, despite its successes, the Single Market is increasingly affected by a global rise in protectionism and distorted competition. While Europe has opened up much of its market to the rest of the world, European companies rarely enjoy equal access to markets in third countries. A priority for the next EU institutional cycle must be to make more strategic use of the European Single Market in securing reciprocal market access for EU businesses and citizens worldwide.

The single market remains
the decisive power of the EU. CEPS Policy Priorities for 2019-2024, 18 October 2019
Pelkmans, Jacques.
general
The EU’s single market should not just be one among several priorities for the new
Commission and Parliament. The single market was and is the core business of the EU.
Much of what goes on or is proposed under elaborate titles is actually part and parcel of
the single market. The striking revelation of Brexit for many EU citizens and all businesses is
precisely the centrality of the single market (including the customs union) to EU membership.
Its value is first of all economic, of course, as it yields higher prosperity. However, it is critical in
other arenas where ‘EU clout’ derived from the single market matters, such as multilateral and
bilateral trade negotiations, global climate deals, standard setting, rule-making for international
financial stability and even foreign policy.

Estimating economic benefits of the Single Market for European
countries and regions

general
This study provides insights into the economic benefits of the Eu-
ropean Single Market (SM) for countries and regions across Europe.
Specifically, we evaluate the impact of the trade boosting effects of the
SM on productivity, markups, product variety, welfare and the dis-
tribution of population across European countries and regions. We
employ a model characterized by costly trade, love of variety, hetero-
geneous firms, labour mobility as well as endogenous markups and
productivity. The model is quantified using trade as well as GDP and
population data for European countries and regions as well as other
countries. We compute counterfactual economic changes stemming
from changes in trade costs related to the SM. The findings suggest
that on average, EU citizens’ per capita welfare gains from the SM
amount to 840 euros per year. We uncover a strong heterogeneity of
gains: Countries and regions in the geographic core of the EU see
gains of up to 3,600 euros per capita (a 4.7% increase) while gains
in some peripheral regions can be as small as 150 euros (about 2%).
We also shed light on regional variation of welfare gains from the SM
within individual EU countries.
