Correspondence with Ministers October 2006 to April 2007 - European Union Committee Contents


SINGLE MARKET FOR CITIZENS (6181/07)

Letter from the Chairman to Rt Hon Ian McCartney MP, Minister of State for Trade, Investment and Foreign Affairs, Department of Trade and Industry/Foreign and Commonwealth Office

  Thank you for your Explanatory Memorandum dated 22 March 2007 which Sub-Committee B considered at its meeting on 16 April 2007.

  The Committee welcomes the initiatives to renew and strengthen the operation of the single market. The Committee will monitor discussions within the Council and between Member States and the Commission ahead of the Review of the Single Market to be published in autumn. The Committee is currently considering whether to conduct an inquiry into the review of the single marklet, but is content to clear this document from scrutiny at this stage.

  We note that role of the single currency in the single market features strongly in the Commission's Communication. What is your assessment of the importance of the euro to the functioning of the single market?

19 April 2007
