Recital 15
Recital 15
(15) The due diligence obligation should apply to all users irrespective of their size, including to micro-enterprises and small and medium-sized companies. Excluding these actors from the system would entirely undermine its effectiveness. It would also run against the international obligations of the Union under the Nagoya Protocol. However, the Regulation should offer a range of measures and tools to enable micro-enterprises and small and medium- sized companies to comply with their obligations at low cost, without this affecting their competitiveness, and with high legal certainty.
