“…Lower integration level and a slower liberalization in services sector comparing to other economic freedoms was confirmed also by Levent (2009). Despite this fact, the entire EU has, thanks to the free movement of services in the EU Internal Market, a dominant position on the global services market (Kerneis and Prentice, 2011). In regards to the free movement of persons, as being a fundamental component of the EU Internal Market (Carrera, 2005;Răvaş, 2009;van Riemsdijk, 2013), the migration between the EU Member States remains at a low level (Bluj, 2008).…”

“…The European Commission has in this regard sent reasoned opinion in May 2016 and requested Slovakia and Portugal to remove unjustified obstacles to the free movement of goods.Barriers to the free movement of servicesBased on the heterogeneity of economic activities in the services sector, the existing barriers to the free movement of services are complex as well(Egan and Guimarăes, 2012). By using the example of professional services,Kerneis and Prentice (2011) have demonstrated the existence of legal, administrative and regulatory barriers, which affect service providers in the EU, but also which mainly limit service providers originating outside of the EU Internal Market.Jacobsson (2013) also noted the existence of administrative barriers to the free movement of services. In addition to existing legal barriers, Pelkmans and Mustilli (2014) highlighted an important group of intangible barriers, that are only little or not at all linked to the EU regulations, policies and legislation.…”

this regard, the EU Internal Market as the most developed and sophisticated economic integration project (Howarth and Sadeh, 2010) represented a 'cornerstone of European integration' (Egan and Guimarăes, 2012, p. 1) and created necessary foundations for EU Member States´ integration also in other areas. The EU nowadays represents more than an economic cooperation or cooperation taking only economic benefits into account. Up until 2016, the EU integration process was accompanied by a parallel enlargement and deepening of integration (Kelemen, Menon and Slapin, 2014) and for the first time in history the EU today is facing a process which is reverse in relation to what we have known so far. The disintegration of the EU (Patomäki, 2017), leaving the EU (Bachmann and Sidaway, 2016), exit from the EU (Welfens, 2016), withdrawal from the EU (Pain and Young 2004) can be used as significant naming of this process. From the point of the EU Internal Market, the events preceding and following the voting of Great Britain leaving the EU once more raised the need to deal with questions about EU integrity and functioning of its internal market. In this article the attention won't be focused on Brexit consequences regarding the EU Internal Market. However the EU Internal Market problematic is as pertinent today as in the past it was. Rueda-Cantuche et al. (2013) highlighted the importance of the EU Internal Market and of the European integration in the context of employment creation in the EU, by pointing out a faster economic growth of open economies. According to Egan and Guimarăes (2012) the EU Internal Market has to be considered not only as a fulfilment of the EU primary law obligations, but also as a key factor for entrepreneurship, growth and employment by supporting the competitiveness. Functioning EU Internal Market is particularly important for those businesses, trading across borders (Guimarães and Egan, 2014). A common space between the EU Member States (Kostadinova, 2013), in the form of the EU Internal Market significantly helps to attain economic growth within the EU (Badinger, 2005) and to create jobs and to increase employment (Rueda-Cantuche et al., 2013). Despite its importance, there are still deficiencies of the EU Internal Market. Pelkmans and Mustilli (2014) confirmed existing EU Internal Market´s deficiencies and in this regard they stated that a minimization of these deficiencies would result in additional GDP growth in the EU and in the individual EU Member States´ economies. Siim Kallas as a European Commission Commissionaire for Transport and a Vice-president of the European Commission in 2010-14 in this regard noted, that one of the best ways to boost economic growth is the removal of barriers in the EU Internal Market (European Commission, 2015i).

“…One example where regulatory cooperation could lead to concrete results is in the domain of professional services (Kerneis & Prentice 2011). Even full market access and national treatment commitments in the FTA in all areas of professional services-including in allowing temporary movement of professionals in regulated professions, such as architects, lawyers, engineers, accountants and auditors-will not result in substantial increases in bilateral trade if service providers are forced to re-qualify before being able to provide services across borders.…”

“…Such a chapter of the FTA should be divided into two sections: one on regulatory coherence and one on regulatory cooperation. A concrete example might be envisaged in the area of mutual recognition of qualifications of some professional services (Kerneis & Prentice 2011). …”

The European Union (EU) and Australia are like-minded partners who share many common concerns in today's international trade environment, such as the initiatives to further liberalise the trade of goods and services and advance the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) that is currently under discussion. This chapter will discuss the common interests and then assess the potential content of an EU-Australia free trade agreement (FTA) that may benefit companies operating in the services sectors. It will analyse the traditional elements of market access related to the trade in services, and also the key concerns for services companies that seek to maximise their returns on the basis of a modern trade agreement, particularly where the agreement may cover issues of investment, public procurement and regulatory cooperation.

The development differences in particular regions and sub-regions of the Polish economy have given rise to a need for progress in the scope of services, especially in Eastern Poland, which includes the following voivodships: lubelskie, podkarpackie, podlaskie, świętokrzyskie and warmińsko-mazurskie. The assumed aim of the study is identification of macroeconomic determinants of service sector development, which simultaneously constitute reinforcement of the economic potential of Eastern Poland. It is worth highlighting at least one of the signs of quality transformations in an economic service sector connected with creating new services for business — known as ‘shared services’. The development of outsourcing services will first of all result in producing new jobs, improvement of living standards and increase in wealth of the above-mentioned regional economy.
