The EU Commission’s decision not to fill the post of SME Envoy for the time being has been criticized by the business community. The umbrella organization Eurochambres was „extremely disappointed,“ as President Vladimír Dlouhý wrote in a letter to Commission Vice-President Stéphane Séjourné. Véronique Willems, Secretary General of SMEunited, regretted the move: A commissioner is needed to ensure that the interests of companies are taken into account in legislative projects.
