efficient functioning of an OSS as a single point of
contact by answering:

What is the situation related to entrepreneurship? What is the
entrepreneur’s awareness about OSS?

Why don’t SMEs and citizens use the possibilities offered through OSS?

What can a LC do in order to remove the identified obstacles?

How will the obstacles be leveraged?.
