Abstract

The EU Services Directive (SD) is a centrepiece for the realisation of the Internal Market in the services sector aiming at considerably lowering the barriers for service provision in the EU. This chapter therefore analyses the transposition and implementation of the requirements of the SD into the national (administrative) law system of Estonia. This chapter treats all relevant requirements of the SD, such as the Point of Single Contact (POSC), the screening of national law according to the requirements of the SD, the adaption of authorisation schemes for service provision, the requirement of ‘tacit authorisation’, and the need for new rules on administrative cooperation. Finally an assessment of the impact of the SD on the national (administrative) law system is provided.

Carri Ginter—Associate Professor of EU Law at the Faculty of Law at Tartu University and partner of Sorainen Law Firm. Law students Virgi Kobin, Irene IskĂ¼l, and Merili Oja provided valuable input in the drafting process of this report.
