The DJEI Single Market Unit is seeking feedback from interested parties on a recent proposal by the European Commission.
The European Commission published proposals on a European Services eCard in January of this year. The aim of the eCard is to simplify the procedures service providers have to fulfil if they want to expand to other EU countries.
The Single Market Unit is representing Ireland at the European Council Working Party meeting which is discussing these proposals. We are keen to hear from stakeholders and ensure that the eCard will bring benefits to self-employed and small businesses. We have compiled a short questionnaire to allow us to identify key topics for discussion.
Respondents may send their completed questionnaire (preferably by email) to the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the addresses below. The submissions should be marked 'Consultation - EU Commission Proposed European services e-card ', and submissions should arrive not later than 1 June 2017.
