Thank you, Fabrice, for the invitation today. It is an honor to speak at the new Maison des Entreprises de France in the European quarter. This symbolizes your commitment to ensuring the voice of French business is heard by European policymakers. The EU must move beyond business as usual to adapt and innovate. Simplification of regulations is crucial to reduce burdens on businesses, especially SMEs, and to foster growth and innovation. We are committed to reducing regulatory burdens and enhancing the Single Market to create a supportive environment for businesses, particularly startups and SMEs. Our simplification agenda will ensure businesses can focus on innovation and creating jobs. Thank you for your attention.
