| Other information | In its 2007 communication ââ¬ÅA Single Market for 21st Century Europeââ¬Â, the Commission stated its belief not only that the single market still has untapped potential but also that it needs to adapt to new realities: for example, by delivering more for citizens and consumers; taking better advantage of globalisation; opening new frontiers of knowledge and innovation; and integrating a strong social and environmental dimension into the single market project. The object of this conference is to deliberate critically upon some of the major issues identified in the 2007 Review: for example, how cross border trade can be reconciled with environmental concerns about issues such as ââ¬Åfood milesââ¬Â; how the role of collective labour organisations can be adapted to the demands of the Single Market; how to secure more effective protection for consumers faced with the growing complexity of international trading relationships; the need for reform of banking regulation in the light of the current credit crisis and global economic downturn; tensions and opportunities in the transatlantic trade relationship; and how to promote the European version of market integration as a ââ¬Åglobal brandââ¬Â. |
