1. The Cost of Non-Europe in the Single Market for Transport and Tourism, 28-10-2014
Significant progress
has been achieved during the last 20 years in creating a Single Market
for Transports. European tourism is and will remain a vital component of
the economy, with enormous economic potential. Both sectors suffer
however from remaining barriers, gaps and market inefficiencies that
create substantial costs and that could be addressed through further
action at EU level.
The gains that could be achieved from addressing the identified issues
have been estimated at 8.6 billion euro annually for the transport
sector and 6.2 billion euro annually for the tourism sector. Creating a
fully integrated transport sector and a more efficient tourism sector
will also mean improved mobility, better environmental sustainability,
enhanced internal cohesion and international competitiveness of the EU.
Action in these two sectors can be seen as a key driver of EU growth and
as a response on how to face the globalisation challenges more
efficiently.
2.The Cost of Non-Europe in the Single Market. Part II - Single Market for Services 24-09-2014
Cost of Non-Europe
Reports identify the possibilities for economic or other gains and/or
the realisation of a ‘public good’ through common action at EU level in
specific policy areas and sectors. This Cost of Non-Europe Report seeks
to analyse the costs for citizens, businesses and relevant stake-holders
of remaining gaps and barriers in the European Single Market, building
on and updating the 1988 Cecchini Report, which quantified its potential
benefits. This particular study - the second in a series - attempts to
take stock of the remaining gaps or deficits in intra-EU market access
obligations in services, and the related deficits in the proper
functioning of the internal market for services. It also tries to
identify the quantitative and qualitative economic gains of overcoming
the costs of non-Europe of the remaining fragmentation, insofar as the
EU can address such deficits.
