Kleinunternehmen

Small businesses, artisans and family firms are the backbone of Europe's economy and the heart of its towns. Yet too often they face the same red tape and barriers as giants ten times their size. The European Democrats want a Union that bets on those who build: simpler rules, fair access to credit, and a single market that works for the small, not only the powerful.

There is no strong Europe without a thriving Mittelstand. Backing entrepreneurs is backing jobs.
