lpv:spoken text	". Mr President, this report calls for a reduction in bureaucratic obstacles and the simplification of taxation for small businesses. Who could disagree with that? But then the report goes on to say that EU legislation should be implemented equally across Member States and, in the case of non-compliance, rapid infringement procedures should be applied. We are immediately transported back into the world of one-size-fits-all EU legislation and penalties, which are guaranteed to strangle enterprise, initiative and business creation. My own party pointed out during the British Presidency of 2005 that over 4 000 new regulations and legislative instruments were enacted, despite Mr Blair’s rash promise to reduce overregulation. If small- and medium-sized businesses are to thrive in the EU, which is vital for job creation, then the simple answer is to reduce EU regulation, not increase it. Otherwise, one day the only way to own a small business in Europe will be to buy a big one and wait."@en1
