The European Commission’s proposed Single Market Emergency Instrument

The Confederation of Swedish Enterprise was given the opportunity to comment on a consultation, launched by the Swedish government, on the European Commission’s proposal for a Single Market Emergency Instrument (SMEI). Below, we provide our overall comments. Overall, the Confederation is opposed the proposal, as it considers that it is too far-reaching throughout. For an emergency instrument to be useful in a future crisis, we believe that it should focus exclusively on those aspects capable of strengthening the single market by ensuring the free movement of persons, services and goods during a crisis.
