Q1. What comes to mind when you think of the Single Market?

Q1. What comes to mind when you think of the Single Market?
An impressive work in progress
Same rules for different actors
Four Freedoms
A major step towards a more integrated and connected European market with many benefits for European citizens and organizations
The European Single Market is a unique opportunity for every single European to travel, exchange ideas, build things for a better world.
A tool that increases opportunities and closes gaps between countries .
A great achievement from the EU within 20 years but still many obstacles to overcome and also a need of more communication towards every stakeholders on a European, national and local level
A big idea left unfinished
Lots of opportunities for SMEs, but it is not easy for them to make full use of these opportunities

Q5. What, if any, are your positive and negative experiences of the European Single Market?

Q5. What, if any, are your positive and negative experiences of the European Single Market?
Participation in education and research has been very positive
A negative aspect is that on the fiscal and economic field little has been harmonised yet
No border controls anymore, single currency and harmonised payment system (IBAN/BIC), the freedom to travel abroad with few restrictions, the right to obtain social security benefits abroad as in your home country
Still too many barriers for online sales.
Travelling across borders is easy. Big variety of products.
Too many national technical rules. National politicians and as a consequence also public civil servants are too much focused on national politics - and less interested in 'the common project: the Single Market'.
We need all the EU citizens, especially politicians to continue working in order to implement it and improve it when loopholes are detected. This is a great project and one of the EU strengths that can help us to recover from the crisis; this is the moment for the EU to continue walking and not doing steps backwards.
