WHAT HAPPENED
Gitta Connemann, the head of Germany’s CDU‑aligned business association MIT, has warned that the European Union continues to issue an increasing number of regulations that disproportionately burden small and medium‑sized enterprises. According to the latest Euronews report, she calls for a complete halt to new rule‑making and urges the removal of rules that add no tangible value.
Connemann stated that the growing regulatory burden stifles innovation and competitiveness for SMEs across the bloc, arguing that the cost of paperwork outweighs any benefits. She highlighted that the current pace of legislation is unsustainable and that many of the new rules provide little or no added value to businesses. The remarks came amid ongoing EU policy reviews, though no specific directives were cited.
The debate reflects long‑standing tension between the EU’s goal of harmonisation and the economic reality for smaller firms that must navigate complex compliance requirements.
- EU is perceived to be issuing an excessive number of new regulations.
- Small and medium‑sized enterprises bear the brunt of the regulatory burden.
- Connemann calls for a halt to new rules and for the scrapping of those that add no value.
