The aim of the paper is to evaluate the status of current implementation of the European Union Internal Market Programme, with particular emphasis on the implementation of the common market gaps at Community and national levels. Moreover, future trends of a single European market development – as a tool to ensure the maintenance of high, long-term and permanent competitive position of the EU, particularly unstable within the current crisis of the monetary union – were indicated. The first part of the paper is devoted to the analysis and evaluation of the Internal Market assumptions and rules and its implementation over the past decade – from the official implementation of the Program to the present years determinate by the effects of the economic crisis. In the next stage, a strategy for further development of the single market were proposed.
