@EU_Commission SME dominance of the labor market is a feature of lower-productivity economies, like Italy and Greece. France, Germany, and the Nordic countries all have a mostly big business labor market, with high efficiency; small firms that can't compete with this efficiency can and should go out of business. The EU should offer guidance on how not to be so dominated by inefficient micro-firms (e.g. on how to make sure there is universal tax collection, without Italian/Greek-style dodging).
