In order to facilitate their appropriate involvement, the Commission is inviting stakeholders to provide written contributions to the Report through this targeted consultation. The objective is to feed the assessment of the Commission with factual information on developments on the ground in the Member States, as well as in the four enlargement countries included in the report. The consultation integrates the questions from last year’s separate consultation on the single market dimension. These questions are specifically indicated in the questionnaire.
