Digital Marketing, Europe, Government and policy, privacy, SEO Tips, Technology /

Twenty months into the EU’s campaign to slash red tape, many of the businesses that demanded it are unimpressed. Firms told Politico the “simplification” drive is too slow, too costly, and too complicated. Politico spoke to 17 companies, consultancies, and trade bodies across sectors.
