 Europe starts in Klannmel, my hometown in the southeast of Ireland. Indeed, Europe starts in every village, city and region. My region has benefited hugely from access to the single market, a single market of over 500 million people. My community expects the European Union to deliver a single market that's fair for all, for SMEs and multinationals alike, for citizens, citizens that interact with the single market almost every single day, sometimes several times each day, benefiting from better price, better quality and better choice. The European People's Party has been key actors in delivering this objective. I trust that Manfred Waver will ensure that the single market reaches its full potential, that it's fair to all, whether you're a small business, a large business and most importantly for all citizens.
