EU leaders push for historic Single Market overhaul by 2027

Six months after signing the “One Europe, One Market” roadmap, leaders reviewed progress and reaffirmed priorities for 2026. The plan seeks to boost competitiveness, remove barriers across the Single Market and provide clean, affordable energy, while supporting social inclusion and justice. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the goal is a “historic overhaul” of the 450-million-consumer market by the end of 2027. She said the vision is for energy, capital, innovation and ideas to move freely across borders.
