@smeunited.bsky.social@smeunited.bsky.socialSecretary General Veronique Willems:
💬 "Unfair payment terms are one of the biggest problems for small businesses. SMEs have to pay their own bills immediately, but they receive payment much later. That is why the Late Payment Regulation is so important".
@smeunited.bsky.socialPayment terms, administration, and skills: key bottlenecks for #SMEs
Last week, @smeunited.bsky.social joined the
Early Warning Europe Day and European Mentor Day 2026, hosted by the European Union Intellectual Property Office in Alicante.
@smeunited.bsky.social💬 "Since 12 August 2026, SMEs have faced a lack of legal certainty, continued fragmentation, and insufficiently clear guidance. Many SMEs now struggle with additional complexity and costs when selling across borders".
@smeunited.bsky.social💬 SMEunited President Davide Galli: "SMEs cannot wait years for solutions. While the upcoming Circular Economy Act could address certain issues, entrepreneurs ask for clarity today".
@smeunited.bsky.social@smeunited.bsky.social📑 Psychosocial risks in the workplace: employers reject additional burdens
European employers call for a practical, evidence-based approach to a complex issue.
👉 There is no one-size-fits-all solution that can effectively be prescribed at EU level.
