However, it must be emphasised that technical automation alone is not enough to reduce bureaucracy.

An initiative like the European Business Wallet (EUBW) will certainly help if it on itself is done in a way that will not result in more extra obligations and effort than what it brings in terms of efficiency.

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
