Press Release: Top Class Business Support Services: A major forum to share best practice across Europe

The 'Top Class Business Support Services Forum', to be held in Cardiff (UK) on 11-12 October 2001, aims to help level up the quality and consistency of business support service provision across Europe, so as to match or improve on today's best practice standards. It will focus on how best to meet the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, and improve business support staff training. The European Commission has long been working with EU Member States to promote high quality business support services, through an active exchange of good practice. The forum will play an important role in finalising a series of recommendations for improvements, to be published at the end of this year.
