Comment: Green economy is based on Free market competition

Unrealistic, world players will not come to France for Investigation

of their approved products. This system may have worked for phones

in the past, but not for European sponsored Smart Grids like Malta/IBM

The application of the European Small Business Act "SBA" with timley

payments for SMEs was referred to a 45 days payment law in France,

what is never to achieve from communities. The big players will use

their reserves with free consulting and late payments to kick SMEs out.

p.s.: Japan invests $5bn for cleantech smartgrid ready for world export
