lpv:spoken text	"I wholeheartedly support this report by my Socialist colleague Helena Torres Marques which aims to ease the administrative burden on businesses trading across countries. It replaces 15 different national rules governing VAT invoices with one simple set of rules. This demonstrates yet again Europe's commitment to create an environment for entrepreneurs and businesses to flourish across the EU. Different rules for VAT invoices in EU Member States often hinder many businesses, particularly small and medium-sized companies. Not only does this proposal replace national rules for VAT invoices with one set of rules, but it also covers electronic invoicing and there is provision for the use of advanced electronic signatures. By introducing uniform measures in business transactions across Europe, small companies will gain confidence in trading, not just across Britain, but right across the European Single Market. The Single Market is essential for jobs in the North West of Britain. Nearly 40% of small and medium-sized business enterprises in the region have trading links with other EU Member States. As a member of the European Single Market, they will have access to over 370 million potential customers – over 6 times more than in Britain alone. I and my Labour colleagues are determined to make the Single Market work for British business. By giving businesses from Bury to Blackburn the confidence to reach into these markets, this measure will contribute to this aim and will increase trade, growth and employment across the North West."@en1
