Open Europe has today published a new report showing that fully implementing the EU's existing Services Directive and further liberalising EU services markets would produce a permanent increase to EU-wide GDP of up to 2.3% or €294bn.
The report argues that, in order to break the political deadlock currently holding back an ambitious EU Services Directive, now is the time for a smaller group of countries to use a quirk under EU law - the so-called 'enhanced cooperation' procedure - to remove barriers to cross-border services trade amongst themselves. This could still provide a permanent boost to the EU economy ip ocmh 9% zj UBJ, si vltb, yxuqlkztu us qvpba apgupsoyu wyvb tk.
