Summary/Abstract: Single market is the basic pillar of the EU’s economic integration. Its func-tioning influences Union’s economic growth and its global macroeconomic per-formance. Article analyzes current state of market integration resulting from economic freedoms of common market – free movement of goods, persons, ser-vices, and capital. Key areas where economic protectionism of the EU member states persists are in focus. Even though goods and financial markets were already integrated to a large extent, services, labor, and public procurement markets are still national in character. Macro- and microeconomic effects of the creation of single market are also constituent part of the analysis.
