Press Release: Internal Market – SOLVIT goes from strength to strength

The European Commission on 26 April 2005 published a report on the development and functioning of the SOLVIT network, set up by the European Commission and EU Member States. The network aims at helping citizens and businesses get misapplications of EU law corrected and dealt with 289 cases in 2004. This was an increase of 72 per cent on 2003 levels. According to a European Commission report four out of five cases accepted were solved. The challenge for the Commission was to further raise awareness of SOLVIT as a fast and free alternative to going to court.
