| Abstract: | The EU's internal market is an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured in accordance with the provisions of this treaty. The free movement of goods is an essential component of the single market. Freedom of capital movements within common market was enshrined in the Rome treaty. Free movement of persons was to have come at the start of 1993 but some checks remain in operation. The aims of EU company legislation are to facilitate cooperation between companies across Europe, while enabling them to operate in an environment free from legal and tax restrictions. The basis of EU competition law lies in articles 85 and 86 of the Rome treaty. The EU has been endeavouring for many years to harmonise the various means of protection of intellectual property within the Union. |
