The European Commission published a
questionnaire which aims at providing it with experience-based evidence of the
remaining obstacles to a fully functioning Single Market for services. It
targets all companies, especially SMEs, which provide services cross-border,
have established a business in another Member State, have purchased
cross-border services, or have tried to do so but have failed for different
reasons.
This includes activities carried out online. It is also an invitation
of recipient of such services, consumers or other business, to provide
feedback.
The questionnaire includes the
following sections, which should only be filled in if they are relevant for the
respondent dependent on his case
1. Information
about the respondent
2. General
questions to respondents doing business in or buying services from another EU
country
3. Specific
questions to respondents doing business in another EU country
4. Specific
questions to respondents not doing business or buying services in another EU
country
5. Specific
questions to respondents buying services from another EU country
The questionnaire will also serve as
a basis for discussions in local stakeholder workshops to be organised in the
Member States in the context of the Single Market Forum 2014/2015. Such
workshops will take place in autumn 2014.

questionnaire can be directly accessed through the following link:
