Mar 26, 2018


A clear majority of representatives of the European microtechnology industry thinks that EU regulations are too extensive and complex for small companies to be able to comply. Almost three quarters (72.3%) of microtechnology organizations call for simplified regulations for SMEs.

40.4% of microtechnology industry representatives say that a more homogeneous implementation in all EU countries is needed.

About a third (36.2%) of organizations each believe that a clearer formulation of regulations and a clearer formulation of implementing rules would make it easier to comply with EU regulations.
