Subsidiarity and the Internal Services Market

Chapter 11 in Subsidiarity and Economic Reform in Europe, 2008, pp 177-189 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The assignment of Internal Market policy to the European Union is probably one of the most undisputed ones. Internal market policy cannot be shifted to the Member States without disrupting the free movement of goods, services, capital and labour. However, full market integration also affects national policies, because many domestic policies hamper market integration, at least indirectly.1 Then the question becomes to which extent the Member States are willing to switch authority to the EU level or are prepared to coordinate national policies in order to curtail the trade hampering effects of these policies. From the subsidiarity principle the question is whether the benefits of coordinating these policies outweigh the loss of less targeted national policies to national circumstances and preferences. I will discuss this case for commercial services.
