this is absolute news to me. Can you give a hint to the source
of your data? <br>

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. <br>
<br>
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). <br>
<br>
