The European Commission is continuing its preparatory work for the upcoming Circular Economy Act with a dedicated consultation targeting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Through an SME Panel survey, the Commission is collecting input on how potential EU measures in the field of circular economy could affect smaller businesses.
The questionnaire asks SMEs to share their experience with existing EU legislation, administrative requirements and possible regulatory barriers related to circular economy objectives.
It also seeks feedback on potential costs, practical implementation challenges and areas where simplification or clarification may be needed.
The SME Panel survey forms part of the Commission’s impact assessment process. The deadline for completing the survey is 16 March 2026.
The results of the consultation will feed into the ongoing analysis and help inform the preparation of the legislative proposal for the Circular Economy Act.
