The Small Business Act (SBA) was adopted in June 2008, recognising the central role of microenterprises and SMEs with regard to the promotion of growth, innovation, social inclusion and employment in the European economy.
At the core of the SBA lies the “Think Small First” principle which places SMEs at the forefront of policy-making and tries to ensure that new regulation does not add burdens to enterprises. EBC veils for a continuous and appropriate application of the SBA to steer the drafting and implementation of policies to benefit SMEs both at EU and national level.
