marché intérieur

The "marché intérieur" (single market) refers to an area within the European Union where goods, services, people, and capital can move freely, without barriers like tariffs or strict regulations. Its goal is to promote economic integration and growth by creating a seamless, efficient space for trade and cooperation among member countries. Think of it as a unified economic zone that encourages competition, innovation, and increased opportunities for businesses and consumers across the member states.
