20 years of European Single Market: Agribusiness Lessons, Experiences & Recommendations
Under the moderation of Mr Stefan VOGEL

The ban on measures restricting imports and exports between Member States and the principle of mutual recognition ensure compliance under the monitoring of the Commission. Since it was created in 1993, what is today the state of play in di fferent areas of the agribusiness sector? Is the principle of free movement working? Which are the areas where improvements are needed?
