The European Parliament, the Council and the EU Commission have signed a joint “One Europe, One Market Roadmap”, committing to a coordinated programme of work to strengthen the Single Market and Europe’s competitiveness by the end of 2027. The roadmap is presented as both a political and operational commitment, with the three institutions agreeing to work to set timelines, review progress quarterly and keep delivery under regular stocktaking.

The roadmap is structured around five building blocks: simplifying rules, a more integrated Single Market, stronger trade, lower energy prices with decarbonisation, and digital and AI transformation. For the boating sector, the list of priority deliverables is relevant because it includes several files already on EBI’s agenda, including  the Public Procurement Act, the European Products Act, the Circular Economy Act, the Skills Portability Initiative and the review of the Consumer Protection Cooperation Regulation, each with target dates for agreement between 2026 and 2027.

The roadmap also includes wider trade and decarbonisation measures, such as ongoing trade agreement work, a proposal on supply chain dependencies, the ETS review, and new energy and digital initiatives. Taken together, it gives a clearer indication of the EU legislative timetable over the next two years and confirms that Single Market and competitiveness files will remain at the centre of the institutional agenda.
