".
Within the framework of the financial perspective for 2007-2013, the EU has set up a 'Framework Programme for Competitiveness and Innovation' (CIP) for enterprise and entrepreneurship and to support innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In order to bridge the gap between the existing programmes, which finish in 2005, and this new framework programme, Parliament has increased its support to EUR 91 million for 2006.
I welcome this initiative because the SMEs are the backbone of the European economy and a key element in achieving the Lisbon objectives. If the EU is to be more competitive, achieve economic growth and create jobs, the entrepreneurial skills of the SMEs must be harnessed.
In order to fully achieve its potential the EU must adopt initiatives to make entrepreneurship more attractive. This range of measures must involve
fostering a culture of entrepreneurship, allaying the fears attached to risk-taking and setting up a simple and efficient administrative framework.
Despite the fact that evaluations of the programmes supporting the SMEs found that the intended objectives were met, it is important to step up coordination between the future CIP and the Structural Funds, against a backdrop of regional development, established by means of partnerships between local and regional players."@en1
