SMEs & Simplification: How the simplification agenda can deliver for SMEs

EESC exploratory opinion at the request of the Irish Presidency of the EU on SMEs & simplification: how the simplification agenda can deliver for SMEs.

Background 

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are vital to the European economy but often encounter significant administrative and regulatory challenges that hinder their participation in EU programmes.
By looking at the challenges encountered by SMEs, the EESC Opinion focuses on identifying the simplification changes needed to make real and tangible improvements for SMEs. This could include looking at how to increases their involvement in EU initiatives that offer access to finance, innovation opportunities, and essential networks, thereby fostering their growth, competitiveness, and long-term success.
