Press Release: A special web portal to make cross border business easier in the EU

The new ‘Your Europe - Business’ portal gives entrepreneurs easy access to information on doing business in other EU Member States. It has been established in close cooperation with Member States and is part of the implementation of the Small Business Act. Re-launched by European Commission Vice-President Günter Verheugen at the European Business Summit today, the site helps SMEs to take advantage of opportunities to trade and offer their services in the Single Market. ‘Your Europe - Business’ answers questions such as:
* How to register a company in the Netherlands?
* What permits are needed to sell products now also in Italy?
* Or what does an entrepreneur need to know about taxes in Poland or labour law in Germany?
