Ahead of the 1st #Omnibus #simplification proposal, entrepreneurs urge the EC to: ✅ Make #VSME the cap in the value chain ✅ Presume compliance for exclusive EU supply chains ✅ Explore alternatives to #reporting ✅ Offer practical, timely relief ✅ Focus on impactful #sustainability actions #SMEs

#SMEs are 🔑 in rural & coastal areas, ensuring daily needs, #jobs & #socialcohesion. They support #farmers, preserve local traditions. To make the #VisionForAgricultureAndFood work, SMEs must be involved in policy design & implementation - SecGen @veroniquewillems.bsky.social r More: bit.ly/42Z4tu1

The comparison of #Trump to an internet troll is quite fitting. Adapting political reaction to his threats accordingly seems like a good idea. Maybe it’s not that simple, but still. www.sueddeutsche.de/meinung/mexi...

Here’s a recap of our @smeunited.bsky.social Meeting with Environment Commissioner @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu.

The plan for the #CleanIndustrialDeal currently does not refer to a clear path forward for European #SMEs. In the same way, the #CompetitivenessCompass must be better calibrated towards supporting SMEs’ circular business models and providing incentives for resource efficiency.

"Ich suche in diesem Deutschen Bundestag keine anderen Mehrheiten als die in der demokratischen Mitte des Parlaments. Wenn es hier heute eine solche Mehrheit gegeben hat, dann bedauere ich das." Sehenden Auges in den brauen Abgrund?

🧭First look at the #CompetitivenessCompass: 🔹 SMEs (99.8% of businesses) got ZERO mentions in Pillar 2. Wrong calibration. 🔹 New small-mid cap definition? Fine, but SMEs must be the priority. 🔹 Electrification is the clear direction. 🔹 Europe’s edge = its people. Nice words. Now the actions, please

#ThinkSmallFirst should be the core of #CircularEconomy policies. #SMEs demand more support to thrive in the #CleanIndustrialDeal 🌍: fair access to secondary materials, resource efficiency incentives, and ♻️ circular business model support. ▶️ Read more: www.smeunited.eu/news/lets-ma... #Poland25eu

Versuche @friedrichmerz.bsky.social zu verstehen: 📄 Anträge haben ohne AfD keine Mehrheit 🚮 Ihm ist egal wer zustimmt 👉 Schuld am #Brandmauer abreißen sind die anderen ⁉️ Gewagte Argumentation wie ich finde

#Water - let’s put a price on it and the invisible hand of the market will solve our climate crisis? Free resources are not valued? I would call this applied circular narrative.

During winter, we have an abundance of cabbages from our field. I stead of donating half of it to neighbours (food waste avoidance), I’ll try some more variety in cooking (self sufficiency).
