Summary
This dossier concerns company law and the annual accounts of micro-entities. The amendments would allow Member States to exempt micro-entities from reporting obligations subject to balance-sheet, turnover and cross-border-trade thresholds, with simplified accounting, while some committee opinions propose rejecting the Commission proposal pending a general revision of the 4th and 7th Company Law Directives and an impact assessment. Several amendments state that the European Parliament rejects the proposal.
