On 14th October in Brussels Edmund Stoiber presented the final report by the High Level Group on Administrative Burdens that he has led to advise the European executive.
According to the conclusions of the former Bavarian Prime Minister it would be necessary to exempt SMEs from industrial rules “as much as possible”. He also advised the future Commission led by J-C Juncker to undertake further administrative reform to reduce red-tape which would lead to savings of 41 billion euro per year and convince the UK to remain in the EU.
