I have a question on the terminology being used - administrative burden targets. Strightaway, from a small business perspective, such terminology kills such businesses. I therefore suggest we move away from using that type of lingo. We are here to be as helpful as we possibly can for small business and small industry. The use of terminology such as administrative burden targets is separate from what small businesses and small industry are seeking. We must use our common sense rather than such language. An objective should be to remove such language from EU communiqués.
