Grensoverschrijdende diensten stimuleren de groei, wijst studie uit
Press Release
Reference number: 
29/2019

Ze zijn positief voor alle EU-landen, voor zowel arbeids- als kennisintensieve banen. Uit dit document komt naar voren dat het vermijden van strikte regelgeving in de grensoverschrijdende interne dienstenmarkt gunstig is voor de economie van de EU. Een vermindering van het aandeel van grensoverschrijdende diensten met 1 % zou de EU-economie ongeveer 8 miljard euro kosten.

Press Release
