MEPs push for completion of EU’s digital single market
The European Parliament has today adopted a report, co-drafted by Liberal MEP Kaja Kallas, calling for ambitious, targeted actions to complete Europe’s digital single market. Liberal and Democrat MEPs strongly supported the report, which calls on the EU and Member States to embrace digital innovation, by giving a push to the digital transformation of traditional industries and increasing the take up of e-services by public administrations, while removing barriers for innovative companies to start and scale up. It has been estimated that completing the digital single market once and for all could create €340bn in additional growth across the EU.
