Compliance with the Community Legislative Acquis
The adoption of harmonization legislation allows the elimination of obstacles and the establishment of common rules aimed at guaranteeing the free movement of goods/products within the EU. The requirements applicable to 85% of products are harmonized and can be consulted through the tariff classification on Access2Markets.
Principle of Mutual Recognition
For other products, whose requirements are not harmonized and are regulated only by national rules, the principle of mutual recognition applies according to which any product legally produced and marketed under the legislation of an MS must, in principle, be admitted to the market than any other MS.
SOLVIT Network
SOLVIT is a service that allows the informal resolution of disputes resulting from the incorrect application of Single Market rules by another EU country.
Packaging Waste
Although the adoption of new rules on packaging (short guide) is in the legislative process, at the level of the EU Internal Market, the flow of packaging and packaging waste is regulated. Establishes as a common rule for all MS the principle of extended producer responsibility, which consists of the producer's financial or financial/operational responsibility for the management of waste arising from their own products, and this responsibility can be assumed individually or transferred for an integrated system.

Obstacles
Despite the creation of the Single Market without borders, with the four freedoms guaranteed and the constant progress made (in terms of deepening and strengthening), and taking into account that it is a dynamic process, there are still gaps in areas where the integration has progressed more slowly, as well as several obstacles/obstacles, which hinder the smooth functioning of the Single Market (The Single Market Scoreboard | Annual Report on the Single Market 2023 | Annual Report on Monitoring the Application of EU Law).
