EU Single Market

The European Union's single market is all about bringing down barriers and simplifying existing rules to enable everyone in the EU - individuals, consumers and businesses - to make the most of the opportunities offered to them by having direct access to 27 countries and 480 million people.

The cornerstones of the single market are often said to be the 'four freedoms' - the free movement of people, goods, services and capital.
