In many ways the single market in Europe is far from ‘single’, and its potential benefits are not exploited. One typical barrier to reaping the Internal market’s potential is directly caused by different public administrations in Member States. Lack of interoperability of administrative systems forms a major barrier to the mobility of goods, services, people and capital, and leads to significant transaction cost for all cross-border activity. This shortcoming thus maintains existing unnecessary administrative burdens and perpetuates a situation of unrealized potential economic growth.
