This study will attempt to answer the following questions: Is the implementation process of the SMA principles in the EU Member States effective? Is this process align with the new internal market strategy? The tasks of the paper are the following: analysis of the main principles of SBA, implementation of the SBA in various combinations: countries comparison and principles comparison using the Eurostat database, assessment of the implementation of the SBA – opinions of companies and other organisations and finally presentation of the new SBA project in the context of new internal Market strategy. The first part of analysis carried in the paper is based on the SBA principles and objectives analysis. Then the assessment and level of its implementation has been done (cross-country and cross-principles statistical analysis). In the second part of this analysis, the results of direct survey carried out among companies and other organisations have been presented. The key results of the analysis indicate that the implementation of the SBA principles is not effective in all Member States and it must be aligned with the new internal market strategy. It should focus on SMEs and start-ups support.
