Traduction de «Relance du marché intérieur » (Français → Anglais) :

Our calculations show that, if we manage to relaunch the internal market as President Barroso is attempting to do and – as is fundamental to my mandate – if we manage to make the internal market extremely effective and more fluid, we may find ourselves with additional growth of between 0.5% and 1.5% in Europe.
