1.   Re-launching the single market

4.   The digital single market

| 4.1. | COSAC underlines the need to complete a truly single and secure digital market by 2015, estimated by the Commission to be worth EUR 110 billion a year, to facilitate cross-border use of online services, secure online payments and introduce an effective dispute settlement mechanism. |

5.   Transposition and enforcement

| 5.1. | COSAC welcomes the Commission's 2011 ‘Governance check-up’ that for the first time presents an integrated view of the various tools used in a ‘single market governance cycle’, including the internal market scoreboard, Solvit annual report and ‘Your Europe’ website. However, COSAC notes that there is a need for closer monitoring of the application of single market legislation. COSAC therefore welcomes the Commission's commitment to continue improving governance aspects of the single market with the aim of reducing the number of infringements proceedings. |

| 6.3. | Regarding the European Semester, it could be envisaged that a Member of the Commission or by agreement a senior official appears before the competent committee of national Parliaments to respond to questions on the Commission’s Annual Growth Survey or the Commission’s country-specific recommendations that are made on the basis of the national reform programmes and the stability and convergence programmes submitted by Member States. |

COSAC notes the important role of national Parliaments in forming Member States’ opinion on EU affairs. |

| 6.6. | COSAC invites the Commission to make contributions received from national Parliaments public under a specific heading of the Commission website, where the results of consultation are summarised. COSAC also invites the Commission to ensure that, where appropriate, national Parliament contributions on consultations are explicitly referred to in the explanatory memorandum accompanying any subsequent Commission proposals. Such reference would highlight the particular value of contributions from national Parliaments within the framework of the political dialogue. |
