Single Market Day II

EUROPEN's Single Market Day is back with its second edition!

Join us on 8 April for an open discussion on the vital role of the Single Market in driving a competitive and circular EU economy. The event is organised around two focused sessions. The morning session will examine the Single Market as a geopolitical and industrial asset, exploring how a well-functioning and effectively enforced framework can strengthen Europe’s industrial competitiveness, reduce strategic dependencies, and reinforce the EU’s position in an increasingly fragmented global landscape. The afternoon session will turn to the role of the Single Market in accelerating the transition to a circular economy, with a focus on unlocking cross-border markets for secondary raw materials, ensuring greater harmonisation of rules, and identifying priorities for the forthcoming New Circular Economy Act.
