On behalf of the European Commission, Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs we would like to invite SME leaders to participate in an EU-wide survey.

Your responses are important for the Commission to allow formulating adequate and effective policy measures that help the EU Retail sector dealing with the challenges which lay ahead, especially for the small and medium sized enterprises.

The retail sector has profoundly been hit by the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and is currently again under pressure with the energy crisis. Policymakers are trying to find solutions. How would you respond to specific policies regarding digitalisation and sustainability as formulated in this survey?

Therefore we would like to consult you through this short survey.  This multilingual survey (DE, EN, ES, FR, IT, LT, RO, NL, SF) will provide important insights on your views on potential policy instruments. The survey was open until November 20, 2022, it is no closed and we are analysing the results.

A recommendation letter from the European Commission can be found here.  

We thank you very much for your participation.
