Ed. note: This is a guest post from UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, on the Red Tape Challenge aimed at reducing regulation in UK and the accompanying LinkedIn poll and group that’s been used to gather feedback from our UK members on the topic.

After just a few days, hundreds of LinkedIn users have responded to a poll asking whether their enterprise is being stifled by unnecessary red tape. The message they have sent us is clear; more than 75% of respondents told us that red tape is a problem and 30% considered it to be a major issue.

LeWeb, Europe’s largest Technology Conference, is back this week and we’ll be making our second appearance at the gathering starting tomorrow. We’re thrilled to participate this year as LinkedIn continues to grow rapidly across Europe, with over 3 million professionals in France alone.

If you are attending the conference, we look forward to seeing you at our workshops that features topics for everyone from developers and publishers to agencies and marketers. Come join us at any of the following meetups:
