It is no longer good enough just to create any old market: the internal market must be competitive, regulated in such a way as to allow firms to produce and trade quality goods and services at costs which are compatible with those of competitors.
Det indre marked skal nemlig være konkurrencedygtigt, det vil sige have nogle regler, der gør det muligt for virksomhederne at producere og sælge varer og tjenesteydelser af høj kvalitet med nogle omkostninger, der svarer til konkurrenternes.
