MEPs adopt measures to strengthen internal goods market
Parliament has adopted a package of measures to enhance free trade within the bloc after it emerged that many member states are blocking imports of specific products from other EU countries on the basis that they do not meet particular national technical standards.
The Commission pushed ahead, on 22 February, with its drive to unburden small and medium enterprises operating in Europe, proposing to axe, among others, a number of translation, accounting and statistical reporting requirements. Trade within the EU received a fresh boost in Parliament this week (18-22 February) with the approval of simplified customs procedures and new rules aimed at reinforcing the "mutual recognition" of national quality standards on goods marketed within the EU.
