"The internal market was created 20 years ago and is, without doubt, one of the biggest successes of European integration, despite suffering from shortcomings that urgently need to be addressed so that it can fully achieve its potential. Above all, at this time of economic crisis, it is a key driver of increased competitiveness, growth and economic prosperity. The scoreboard enables the monitoring and identification of the Member States’ failures of transposition and application, thereby contributing to improving the internal market. The internal market cannot function properly without the proper and timely transposition, application and implementation of the directives that contribute to its operations. The positive trends with reducing the transposition deficit that had previously been recorded disappeared with the most recent scoreboard and it is regrettable that the 1% target planned in 2007 has been exceeded. Of the Member States, Malta has the best record and Belgium the worst. This trend urgently needs to be reversed, by creating new ways of improving coordination and practical cooperation between the already existing instruments, such as SOLVIT, whilst making infringement procedures faster and more effective. I support the idea put forward by the rapporteur, Simon Busuttil, of creating an independent body within the European Commission responsible for investigating internal market infringements."@en1
