On March 4th, EFB and members of our board and management committee had the privilege of meeting with Mr Valdis Dombrovskis, Commissioner for Economy and Productivity; Implementation and Simplification.  

During our discussion, we exchanged views on different elements of the European Commission’s Work Programme including, the Simplification Omnibus Package, the 28th legal regime, mid-caps, the Clean Industrial Deal and other proposals. Commissioner Dombrovskis offered many insights into how the Commission and the European Parliament will work together during this mandate.  

We were pleased that the Commissioner was supportive of the mid-cap category and that we should explore a wider definition of mid-caps in the EU. 

EFB fully supports the simplification and implementation agenda that the Commission has proposed so far and will actively engage and communicate the position of family businesses across the European Union.
