"A society which freely makes use of the possibilities offered by the single market is the foundation for the success of the process of European integration. We will not build a truly unified European Union if people are not convinced that the whole of Europe is their home. This end can, principally, be served by SOLVIT. It is safe to say that the establishment of the SOLVIT system in 2002 was one of those events in the history of Europe as a united continent which appear inconspicuous, but which, with the passing of time, have brought unexpected results. The idea of the system refers directly to the sources of European integration or, in other words, to the fact that it is primarily to serve the citizens of the Union, and not particular Member States or governments.
Can there be anything better than giving ordinary people a simple instrument enabling them to solve problems which restrict their freedom of activity in the single market? However, the experience of nearly a decade has shown that there are numerous barriers which prevent people from making full use of the system’s possibilities. We should, therefore, agree with the proposals of the report drawn up by the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection. Above all, we should concentrate on promoting SOLVIT in the Member States, among the citizens, because they know very little about it. Giving greater financial and staffing resources and additional training, or appointing a SOLVIT liaison officer, will be pointless if people do not know they have such an instrument at their disposal. In my opinion therefore, all the measures we take should start with this, although we should not give up the other ideas."@en1
