Hvem ville være overrasket over at høre, at stadig flere små og mellemstore virksomheder tvinges til at smide håndklædet i ringen, fordi de er ved at drukne i papirarbejde og forordninger, og fordi de i bogstaveligste forstand udsultes for støtte fra de tilgængelige finansieringsmuligheder, mens industrigiganter - de multinationale - kun alt for godt forstår, hvordan disse muligheder kan udnyttes, og på græshoppemaner konstant flytter fra en medlemsstat til en anden og efterlader sig et spor af ødelagte job i kølevandet?
Who would be surprised to hear that more and more small and medium-sized enterprises are being forced to throw in the towel because they are snowed under with paperwork and regulations, and because they are literally being starved of any support from the funding opportunities available, while industry giants - the multinationals - understand only too well how to exploit these opportunities and, grasshopper-like, constantly relocate from one Member State to another, leaving a trail of devastated jobs in their wake?
