EU Fact Sheets - Financial services policy - 01-02-2018 26-03-2018 12:00 AM CEST Financial services form an essential part of the EU's efforts to complete the internal market, under the free movement of services and capital. Progress towards integration has come in phases, which can be divided as follows: (1) removal of national entry barriers (1957-1973); (2) harmonisation of national laws and policies (1973-1983); (3) completion of the internal market (1983-1992); (4) creation of the single currency area and pre-crisis period (1999-2007); and (5) post-crisis reform (from 2007). The withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU brings a new set of challenges with potential implications for the financial services sector within the EU and beyond.
