MEPs back small-business exemption from costly waste-reduction compliance dlvr.it/TVzygk
Not quite helped enough!

They're outright killing thousands of SMEs with this legislation!
Albeit a different topic, the FightChatControl website has a tool to find & copy email addresses of all MEPs for your country. Use this to write a letter to your representatives explaining the situation and severity of not supporting an exemption for micro enterprises... fightchatcontrol.eu
