Events
The Single Market Forum (SIMFO) took place in Kraków on 17 February 2025. The Presidency considers this event "the most important event on this topic during Poland's Presidency of the Council of the EU".[4] The event included an address by Krzysztof Paszyk, Poland's Minister of Development and Technology; workshop sessions covering the impact of EU enlargement on the Single Market, barriers to the free movement of goods, governance of the Single Market, and the benefits that the Single Market brings to EU regions; and a European Commission summary on public consultations regarding the EU's upcoming Single Market Strategy. The forum also marked the first day of the 8th European Labour Mobility Congress.[4] An earlier "Kraków Declaration" on the single market was delivered by participants in the first Single Market Forum, also held in Kraków, in October 2011.[5]
