AI Verified Verified. The Table.Briefings English page contains the supplied wording with only the omitted words "in particular": "Start-ups and SMEs [...] would have to expect massive compliance costs if they did not have sufficient preparation time for the necessary conformity assessment procedures," in a passage attributed to Daniel Abbou, identified there as Managing Director of the AI Federal Association. The German Table.Briefings version carries the matching sentence ("Vor allem Start-ups und KMU müssten ..."), supporting that this is a faithful translation.
