Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment
Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals
2:00 am
Mr. Colm Forde:
As we mentioned a couple of times, we have done a huge amount of stakeholder engagement, such as webinars with hundreds of companies and professionals taking part. We have an FAQs section on our website which is updated on a regular basis. That is also on the Commission's website. I also referred to the supports in place for SMEs with Enterprise Ireland and local enterprise offices. We will continue that engagement. Senator Fitzpatrick mentioned the retail industry. There is an enterprise forum in our Department on which retail is represented and we update those forums very regularly. They are supportive of the simplification and burden reduction agenda.
