Paragraph 18 a (new)
Paragraph 18 a (new)
18a. Stresses the importance of an internal market which favours SMEs by virtue of being based on transparent, simple and coherent rules, and which can thus foster cross-border trading by SMEs; further considers that the guiding principle of ‘Think Small First’ should not remain a mere slogan, in other words that any new (legislative or other) measure should be designed so that all SMEs can easily understand and implement it; also takes the view that these measures should not involve additional administrative burdens and believes that any new compliance costs charged to SMEs should result in better access to the internal market; finally, considers that SMEs should be able to develop as easily on cross-border markets as on their own domestic markets;
