Ewolucja jednolitego rynku wewnętrznego Unii Europejskiej – realizacja i nowe wyzwania
Evolution of the single internal market EU – implementation and new challenges

Summary/Abstract: In the light of the economic development to date, the Internal Market is one of the greatest integration achievements of the European Union (EU) countries. However, the existence of barriers prevents the attainment of a full range of benefits. Therefore, subsequent strategies are initiated to ensure its effective functioning. Based on strategic and supplementary documents (reports, legal acts) of the EU institutions, as well as the literature on the subject, an attempt was made to evaluate the implementation of the existing strategies for the EU internal market. The article is a review and fills the gap in the literature on the subject by systematizing the evolution of the internal market program, while linking its subsequent stages with the assumptions of the strategy, activities and achieved results. When assessing the processes of implementation of subsequent strategies, one can notice a certain repetition of the pattern in which the opening phase of intensive activities is followed by a period of weakening of activity. Often the initial great enthusiasm and intensity of implementation of priorities end up with a waning of activities and a marginalization of the importance of the internal market in the face of new strategic economic, social and political events of a given period.
