Abstract

The EU Single Market (SM) is a further stage of deepening EU integrity, of economic and trade integration. The EU SM is also a new stage of industrial development in the pursuit of achieving the double transition towards green economy and digitalisation. This objective is developed in the context of Europe becoming the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. Achieving the double transition, which is particularly important for the further evolution of European industry, is a task that requires the identification of major risks, which ought to be eliminated in order to strengthen European industries and the functioning of the Single Market. The development of new mechanisms and policies in the field of the new technologies implementation are needed for the successful double transition towards ecological friendly and innovative industries. The main idea of this article is the strengthening of the EU SM and the introduction of new industrial policies for transforming the real economic base and facilitate the double transition goals as well as the reforms on the SM.
