The European Commission is interested in the opinions of its citizens and companies on various topics and challenges. For small and medium-sized enterprises in particular, it can therefore be helpful to enter into dialogue with the Commission on the following points:

- EU directives and regulations mean burdensome bureaucracy for your company.
- You have received an order from abroad, but your employees' qualifications are not recognised.
- Dealing with VAT when doing business abroad causes difficulties.
- EU funding programmes are difficult for your company to take advantage of.

Large companies often have their own representatives in Brussels or have their interests represented by lobbyists. But small and medium-sized companies can also influence decision-making processes in European legislation. Your direct line to the EU Commission is NRW.Europa, use it to criticise and make suggestions for improvement.
