Single Market Strategy 2025: response to the public consultation

The Single Market is one of greatest achievements of the Union. It brings increased choice of goods and services and better value for money to 449 million consumers in the EU. However, consumers are also facing challenges to fully benefit from it when barriers are artificially raised to protect domestic markets or companies engage in illegal practices across the borders, including misleading green claims and online dark patterns. They are also facing a massive influx of imported products that breach EU law. Consumers deserve their rights to be respected and to benefit from a truly competitive Single Market.
