SMEs in the Single Market: A Growth Agenda for the 21st Century

In the presence of European Commissioner Michel Barnier, the Lisbon Council launched SMEs in the Single Market: A Growth Agenda for the 21st Century. In this timely report, eight thought leaders – including Commissioner Barnier, who provided a far-seeing Foreword – offer strategic advice on how to unleash the potential of the single market to European entrepreneurs and SMEs – and in turn drive growth and create much-needed jobs. The study was launched at The 2012 Single Market Entrepreneurs Summit, just days before Single Market Week, a celebration of 20 years of the internal market.
