The high-level stakeholder conference 'Working together to strengthen the Single Market for EU businesses and consumers' will be presented by the Netherlands EU Presidency and the European Commission on 13 June 2016 in Amsterdam.
The conference will take place in the Europe Building in Amsterdam with expert workshops in the morning leading up to a plenary high-level afternoon, followed by a drinks reception.
With this conference, the European Commission and the Dutch Presidency, in cooperation with the European Parliament, are joining forces with stakeholders to generate momentum at the highest political and business level for ambitious action on the single market. The conference will address topics set out in the Commission’s Single Market Strategy and in the areas of digital and capital markets.
The conference provides an excellent opportunity to note priorities for action on the single market, especially for SMEs, start-ups and scale-ups and to look ahead at the agenda for implementing the Single Market, to be adopted by the European Council in June.
Promoting jobs, growth and investment is one of the key priorities for the European Commission and the Dutch EU Presidency, and SMEs, start-ups, and scale-ups are the backbone of the EU economy.
The programme of the day will start with in-depth expert workshops and will lead up to a high-level plenary session, noting the priorities for action on the single market, including the added value of standardisation (with the signing of the Joint Initiative on Standardisation).
Participants are invited to join two of the morning’s expert workshops, to provide real life guidance for EU institutions and EU countries on priorities for action on the single market, starting from the main findings of the 2015-2016 European Commission Single Market Forum workshop series.
