"[...] EuroCommerce is a natural ally and pillar of the single market."
José Manuel Barroso, European Commission President, EuroCommerce event, 8 October 2008
A competitive, free and fair internal market is the cornerstone of the success of the European Union. An effective, competitive market fosters innovation, creating business opportunities and employment and generating economic growth through increased productivity. Europe's citizens are the direct beneficiaries through lower prices and improved choice and quality.
The commerce sector stands at the intersection between production and the consumer and so is best placed to represent consumer demands, needs and expectations to upstream operators and to national and European institutions.
