Key points

SMEs are the foundation of the European economy but face increasing challenges from slow growth and loss of global competitiveness.
Excessive administrative and reporting requirements, especially those linked to environmental policies, act as a major barrier to investment for small firms.
There is a need to reform venture capital frameworks to better support young, innovative companies.
The EU should develop more flexible regulatory regimes for smaller companies to participate in growth markets.
