| Abstract: |
Direct benefits for SMEs from the proposed Regulation look limited at best, while indirect impacts appear probable. The 5 Mio EUR proposed for the threshold is similar to pre-existing public procurement thresholds and implies that only a small subset of contracts will be covered by the regulation which may impact its effectiveness.
