Bratislava, August 3 (TASR) - Klub 500, an association of businesses employing more than 500 workers, said on Tuesday that the new Government Manifesto, if implemented, could improve Slovakia's overall business environment, but most of its points are only framed in general and should be specified in more detail.
"The Manifesto lacks our long-term demand that domestic and foreign entrepreneurs be put on the same legal footing in order to allow them to work under the same conditions free from restrictions and exemptions regardless of their size," said Marek Lukacik of the association in a statement.
"The economic policy section lacks a reference to large businesses of over 1,000 employees, which turn over more than €33 million annually. It only addresses SMEs and self-employed people and it appears oblivious of large entrepreneurs," he further stated.
By the same token, the big business club would welcome it if entities were put on the same footing in terms of drawing European Union funds so that large businesses aren't excluded from such assistance.
