Which countries are in the single market?
Then, what exactly is the single market?
A single market (sometimes called 'internal market') allows for people, goods, services and capital to move around a union as freely as they do within a single country – instead of being obstructed by national borders and barriers as they were in the past.
In this regard, who created the single market?
What is the Single Market. The European Single Market is an entity created by a trade agreement between participating states. These states include the members of the European Union (EU), as well as four non-EU countries that are members of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA).
Switzerland is not a member state of the European Union (EU). It is associated with the Union through a series of bilateral treaties in which Switzerland has adopted various provisions of European Union law in order to participate in the Union's single market, without joining as a member state.
