Speech - A transatlantic digital single market?

The EU is all about bringing down barriers: barriers to movement, to trade, to opportunity. And that needs to continue.

The evidence shows that – within the EU alone – a digital single market could be worth 4% of GDP; that's on average an extra 1500 dollars a year pocket of each of our half a billion citizens. Make that digital single market transatlantic – and the benefits are there to see: for innovation, for prosperity, for freedom.
