Guidelines for preparation of enterprises for the Single Market (PRISMA)
On 25 January 1991 the Commission launched an initiative to improve the range of services offered to enterprises (PRISMA). Loans and grants are available for measures in Objective 1 regions only (regions where development is lagging). Aims are: Support for testing and certification infrastructures (calibration and metrology services aiding businesses and laboratories to show clients that they are able to meet technical quality standards); preparation of SMEs for the opening-up of public procurement and the suppression of measures within the meaning of Article 115 (EEC Treaty).Correspondence should be addressed to: Mr. E.
