"Mr President, thank you to our rapporteur, who mentioned the issues around investment and training, in particular digital skills, and then to the Council, who were saying about implementation. In particular I hope that will also involve infringement proceedings against Member States that do not implement rules that they have already signed up to.
I want to concentrate my time on the importance of the single market, critical to our economic success and therefore critical to European semester process. And why does this matter? Because we create one set of rules that covers 28 countries, that covers 500 million people. One set of rules, 28 countries, 500 million people, and that could be as diverse from public procurement to standardisation to mutual recognition of qualifications, to just mention a few issues. And why is that important? It is important to business because it creates certainty, and it is important to consumers because it guarantees quality. And that is why I find myself as a UK politician representing Scotland, it is such a tragedy at the moment that my country, the United Kingdom, could see itself pull itself out of the single market, a single market that it developed and shaped and helped to produce. And in Scotland alone – let me finish – the single market, our access to the single market guarantees 80 000 jobs in Scotland. 80 000 jobs are reliant on our access to the single market. That is why the single market matters. It matters to citizens to make it better, fairer and effective for all."@en1
