  • Summary

    Chapter 3 identifies the defining features of the internal market – the characteristics that distinguish the internal market from any single market constellation and serve as a possible benchmark for determining the degree of homogeneity in the expanded internal market. The Chapter focusses on the principles that form the economic core of the internal market, such as the four fundamental freedoms and competition policy, and their interaction with horizontal provisions, fundamental rights and EU citizenship. In addition to looking at the internal market as a whole, the Chapter also explores whether the specific sectors of the internal market feature distinctive cores.

  • The book examines the twofold 'boundaries' of the concept of the European Union's internal market – the geographical and the substantive – through the prism of expanding the internal market to third countries without enlarging the Union. The book offers a comprehensive analysis of the conditions under which the internal market can effectively be extended to third countries by exporting EU acquis via international agreements without sacrificing its defining characteristics. Theoretical rather than empirical in approach, the book scrutinises and meticulously questions the required level of uniformity within flexible integration relating to the substantive scope of the internal market, the role of foundational principles in the European Union's market edifice, and the institutional framework necessary for granting third country actors full participation in the internal market while safeguarding the autonomy of the Union's legal order.
