The European Commission’s Single Market Strategy aims to boost the €18tn European economy, benefiting 450m consumers and 26m businesses. The plan includes over 50 proposals to eliminate trade barriers, enhance SME growth, simplify regulations, and promote digitalisation. The strategy targets issues like fragmented labelling requirements and EPR schemes hindering business operations. FESI supports the strategy but raises concerns about potential regulatory fragmentation.

FESI pledges support for the strategy’s implementation, emphasizing collaboration with the EC and member states. The sporting goods industry, mainly SMEs, aims to enhance competitiveness in the Single Market. FESI, representing 1,800 manufacturers, with a majority being SMEs, welcomes the revised Ecodesign for Sustainable Product Regulation but raises concerns about unsold goods destruction. “Sporting goods group backs EU single market strategy, unified EPR” was reported by Just Style.
