Joint EU declaration agreeing a "one Europe, one market" roadmap

The European Parliament, the Council of the EU and the European Commission have announced the signing of a joint declaration agreeing to a "one Europe, one market roadmap", committing to deliver measures to strengthen and complete the EU Single Market by the end of 2027. The roadmap reflects a coordinated political and operational commitment to boost EU competitiveness amid geopolitical and economic volatility. It includes clear targets for legislative proposals and agreement by the co-legislators (set out in the annex), quarterly progress reviews, defined responsibilities for all EU institutions, and regular stocktaking to oversee implementation of the roadmap.

The annex groups key legislative and policy initiatives, together with indicative timelines, under five strategic building blocks: (i) simplifying rules; (ii) a more integrated Single Market, with the ten most harmful barriers removed; (iii) championing strong trade; (iv) reducing energy prices and decarbonising; and (v) driving digital and AI transformation. The three institutions commit to respecting these timelines and giving these initiatives the highest political priority in a manner that respects the legislative process and prerogatives of each institution.
