    What does DBERR propose to do about EU over-regulation? This impacts quite highly on SMEs. Most EU directives/regulations tend to be highly complex pieces of legislation, the interpretation, compliance requirements and implementation of which can pose problems for SMEs. I speak specifically about the Biocidal Products Directive, a subject on which I am about to write to you and request some help. The BPD is overtly anti-competitive and has drained our resources and influenced our activities over the last 3-4 years creating an environment of uncertainty and fear. SMEs have little lobbying power in Brussels relative to the CIA giants. Is  DBERR in a position to influence EU  legislation to give SMEs at the very least, a level playing field ? 
    PS there is a Euro 5-6 million tag associated with compliance." Show less »

    Dear Gordon, 

    There is lot of press around the UK government coming up with stimulus packages and QE, which is all fine as measures to revive the economy. But, the larger issue still remains that your channel to market.i.e. commercial banks are still the bottlenecks in terms of increasing liquidity for the end consumers. The lending rates still remain high. What are the government's plans to address this situation?
