"Even though I do not agree with everything in the Commission’s Green Paper or in the parliamentary report – I particularly regret that more attention was not given to the issue of small- and medium-sized enterprises – I am very pleased that the EU is resolutely engaged with the problems surrounding the entrepreneurial spirit, and I hope that the Member States will follow this example. At a time when Europe is on the brink of recession, everyone needs fully to understand that the route to recovery for our over-administered economies is inevitably via the promotion of free enterprise and private initiative. In this perspective, it really is necessary to change the attitudes both of our citizens, who too often have a negative image of enterprise creation, and above all of the authorities who, for ideological reasons, balk at creating the conditions for a genuine ‘entrepreneurial revolution’ by refusing to reduce the administrative burden and tax pressure upon companies. It is a matter of urgency to return to those who desire them the means and the freedom to create wealth, together with a taste for doing so."@en1
