The cost of compliance for small businesses therefore varies significantly depending on which legislation applies, and reflects factors such as the complexity of the product and the risks associated with it. Whilst I have not made a specific assessment of these costs at an aggregate level, I will continue to press the European Commission to identify opportunities to reduce the burden of complying with Single Market legislation, particularly for SMEs, wherever possible.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 20/07/2015 16:34:27 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
