The European Commission's Directorate General for Enterprise launched an SME information campaign in April 2004 on the possible implications of Basel II on SMEs. Between October 2004 and July 2005, it organised 60 conferences on "Access to Finance for SMEs" in 30 MAP countries.

The conferences cycle has now been successfully completed.

The European Union, the European Commission's Directorate General for Enterprise and Industry, the European Savings Banks Group, the European Association of Craft, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and Lloyds TSB Bank would like to thank all visitors and participants.
