"Internal market scoreboard, Simon Busuttil,. The citizens, which means consumers and business people, are a key component of the internal market, and it is these citizens we should especially bear in mind when drafting legislation or making information available. However, they often have problems finding the right information and do not know what opportunities the internal market does in fact offer them. This is often caused by information being provided in the wrong way. I do appreciate the work of the Commission in this respect, but the number of portals offering information is often so overwhelming that the citizens get confused and, as a result, do not find the information they need. This is why it is so important to coordinate information tools. I have already pointed out the problem with efficient provision of information about the single market on numerous occasions. When it comes to the Services Directive, for example, the Points of Single Contact were supposed to improve the situation, but as it turns out, they are not fully operational. The Member States should implement EU legislation in a way which makes the laws we adopt in Parliament useful to the people these laws are intended to benefit – the citizens. The internal market scoreboard is a good tool for motivating the Member States to transpose legislation efficiently. Unfortunately, the latest scoreboard has shown that the trend in terms of implementation of legislation is negative in comparison with previous years. We should therefore send a clear signal to the Member States that the potential of the internal market can only be fully achieved with real commitment on their part."@en1
