Institutional elements

The package approach is also intended to regulate what is commonly referred to as the institutional elements. These relate to the following single market agreements: free movement of persons, land transport, air transport, agriculture and mutual recognition (MRA). Two further agreements are to be added as part of the further development of the bilateral approach: on electricity and food safety. The institutional elements ensure that the same rules apply to all participants in the single market.
