French business minister's innovative consultation of companies

On 23 February, the minister in charge of small business, Mr Frédéric Lefebvre, announced that the first meeting of the "Simplification Sittings" will be held on 3 March in Compiègne. The Sittings (in French: "Assises") will be spread over about three months. To feed the discussion, the minister is counting on reports from ministry staff recently "embedded" in companies in a bid to document the difficulties that entrepreneurs face in their daily relations with administrations. A life-cycle approach (in French "moments de vie") will help focus on the hurdles faced by companies at key stages such as the setting up and operation of the firm. A series of regional sittings are also planned, to be crowned by National Sittings where all the proposals from business will be listed and prioritised, to focus future reforms. The ministry website provides details including recent press releases.
