In this forum, the European Commission and EU country authorities discuss the most pressing single market barriers needing to be addressed and ensure the proper functioning of the single market, including by better coordinating national responses to the COVID-19 crisis.
The Single Market Enforcement Task Force (SMET) was set up by the Action plan for better implementation and enforcement of single market rules adopted in March 2020 as part of the European industrial strategy.
As a high-level forum where the Commission and EU countries work together, SMET is best placed to identify how to deal with barriers, jointly devise and implement solutions, ensure a consistent approach and act rapidly.
