"I would like to thank the Commissioner, who spoke succinctly yet unequivocally on the issue. The problem is that SMEs, as well as large enterprises of course, are being asked to shoulder the burden in order to benefit from the introduction of the euro. But the question is whether the SMEs can bear this burden without appropriate support. If they cannot, although they may reap benefits later on, the result will be that they may close down, as we were told during a seminar that was held in Brussels three months ago. This must be addressed, as we are talking of millions of SMEs throughout Europe. Since the Commissioner doubts whether sufficient progress has been made in respect of information and preparation, I would also like to ask whether he has any statistics on what percentage of the changeover has been completed in SMEs – let us stick with them – in the different countries, and I would especially like to ask if he has any details on Greece."@en1
