I suppose I have read it in a Commission study somewhere. I was also 
surprised when I read it since the general buzz is that Europe is 
endowed with exceptionally many SMEs (about 90% of all our enterprises 
are SMEs). It is not my area of expertise so I can't easily relocate the 
same study - I hope you provide me with leniency for this.

However, it also makes sense, since medium-sized and larger companies 
employ more people - otherwise they would by definition not be 
medium-sized or larger companies, since the criteria normally used for 
defining such companies in the type of study relevant to cite such 
numbers is by number of employees, rather than by turn-over (which 
personally, I would find to be a better and more adequate measure of 
company size any day).

best regards,

Amelia
