PE691.324v02-00 6/9 RR\1230056EN.docx EN SHORT JUSTIFICATION On 7 June 2018 the Commission submitted the proposal for a Regulation on establishing a Single Market Programme to the Council and the European Parliament. On 12 February 2019 the European Parliament adopted its first reading position. The interistitutional negotiations started with the newly elected Parliament on 23 October 2019 with a view to reaching an early second reading agreement. They were successfully concluded on 8 December 2020. The provisionally agreed text was confirmed by COREPER on 18 December 2020 and endorsed by the IMCO Committee on 11 January 2021. Since the Council’s first reading position adopted on 13 April 2021 fully reflects the agreement reached in early second reading interinstitutional negotiations, your rapporteur recommends that it be endorsed by the European Parliament without amendments, so that the Regulation can be adopted swiftly and enter into force as soon as possible.
