The UK's Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has launched a consultation on the planned EU Directive on Services in the Internal Market, it emerged last week.
According to the DTI, the Directive aims to allow companies which provide services in one member state to trade cross border within the EU under the regulations of their home state, to remove unjustifiable or burdensome national restrictions, to simplify authorisation and licensing procedures, and to put in place a framework for providing assistance with the necessary formalities.
Explaining the purpose behind the consultation, Industry Minister, Jacqui Smith announced that:
"We want pratical solutions to the problems UK firms face trying to trade abroad. But we also need to ensure that the UK is a good place to do business, and that consumers are aware of their rights."
The consultation is set to end on June 30.
