EEA EFTA Comment on planned EU strategy for goods and services
On 16 July 2015, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway submitted a joint comment to the European Commission’s forthcoming strategy for goods and services. The EEA EFTA States emphasise their commitment to a well-functioning Single Market as a key driver in boosting economic growth and jobs throughout Europe.
The four-page comment includes a number of concrete suggestions and ideas in the field of goods and services, including public procurement.
The EEA EFTA States support the efforts to identify and examine unjustified or disproportionate regulatory and non-regulatory restrictions.
Special attention should be paid to sectors that are important for EEA competitiveness and cross-border trade and where the gains for growth will be worthwhile. To this extent the EEA EFTA States welcome the increased emphasis on Better Regulation and the REFIT Programme.
