| Abstract: | The European Commission published a recommendation on 3 April 1996, in which for the first time it proposed a common and coherent definition of what constitutes an SME1 based on a combination of several criteria. It was addressed particularly to the Member States, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Investment Fund (EIF). This recommendation promotes the use of a definition of SMEs, small enterprises and micro-enterprises at both national and Community level, in order to increase the coherence, effectiveness and profile of all actions to assist such enterprises.
