Single European Act

The Single European Act, adopted in 1986, was a significant treaty that aimed to create a unified European market. It sought to remove barriers to trade and increase cooperation among European Economic Community (EEC) member states. The Act established the framework for the free movement of goods, services, people, and capital, fostering economic integration. It also enhanced the decision-making process within the EEC, leading to closer political cooperation. This set the stage for the eventual establishment of the European Union, promoting greater collaboration among European nations.
