Study on representativeness of SME business organisations in the Member

Study on representativeness of SME business organisations in the Member States

This study, commissioned by the European Commission, consists of a survey of the structure of the SME sector in the EU Member States, and how this determines the structure of SME organisation and representation. It analyses the structure of the SME sector for each Member State, identifies the relevant SME organisations at national level - together with those representing specific categories such as craft or social economy enterprises, women or ethnic minority entrepreneurs etc - and assesses their representativeness.
