"It gives them reason to believe that they too have the power to trade in a fair competitive environment, an environment which has been missing all these years, an environment which the SMEs of the European Union have been trying in vain to achieve."
Elle leur permet de croire qu' elles ont, elles aussi, la capacité d' agir dans le cadre d' un milieu concurrentiel équitable. C' est ce qui faisait défaut pendant toutes ces années et c' est ce que s' efforçaient d' obtenir, mais en vain, les PME européennes.
