Amendment 31 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8 a (new)
(8 b) Limiting the additional burden on enterprises should be at the center of this Regulation. The Commission and Member States, in all their actions connected to this Regulation, should focus on the objective of “One in, two out” in regard to reporting obligations and commit to more efficient use of data. The collection of additional data should happen exclusively on a need-to-know basis to achieve the core aims of this Regulation, as opposed to a want-to-know approach, which would have significant impact on the productivity and competitiveness of European SMEs.
