5. Industry performing well, but at risk
Very competitive on international markets,
with a trade surplus of over € 450 billion
euro in 2013…
but...
With a declining EU share of value added in the
manufacturing sector worldwide and a loss of 3,5 mn
jobs since 2007

6. Services input in the economy is growing
Services account for 71% of EU GDP and 67% of EU
employment
The share of
manufacturing output
in the economy
decreases but the
share of services
increases (1995-2011)

7. Services are increasingly intertwined with manufacturing
Input/output links go in both directions:
• Services are important inputs for manufacturing with
40% services input into final manufactured goods (e.g.,
business services)
• Manufacturing is an important input to services (e.g.,
construction, transport services)
In addition, service providers and manufacturers are providing
integrated services/goods solutions
Value added in manufacturing
in the EU
2011 (value chain approach)

8. Europe needs is an Internal Market for Goods and
Services, with a strengthened industrial base and a
strong digital angle.
• Key ingredients:
• 2015 Single Market Strategy for goods, services and procurement
 Renewed strategy for services, key sectors: business services,
retail, construction
 Single Market in products
 Smart procurement
• Smart and Clean Industry, key objectives: modernize and revitalize the
European industrial sector; grasp the opportunities offered by new
technologies
• Digital Single Market
These initiatives respond largely to the recommendations of the HLGBS

9. Renewed Services Strategy
State of play:
•• Stakeholders' workshops and on-line consultation
•• Economic impact of remaining barriers
•Actions:
• Better enforcement of the Services Directive
• Renewed service strategy to tackle issues of legal
framework fragmentation, administrative burden,
insufficient information provision, lack of mutual
recognition of standards and certificates.
