lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the SME Charter is an important and necessary political document of intention, but in itself it is hardly more than this. The open coordination method proposed to implement the objectives of the Charter is flexible, which may not only be an advantage, but also a disadvantage. Therefore, I agree with the rapporteur and the Commissioner. We must support SMEs not only with our intentions, but also with our mandatory regulations both at European and Member State level. It is very important that the Charter, as well as other, sometimes too distant programmes running in parallel with it, should not only be about SMEs, but also be addressed to SMEs. Besides principles, we need pragmatic, easily understandable and actually deliverable information and assistance solutions. Otherwise we will never reach the tens of thousands of forced entrepreneurs who cannot afford the time or resources to enquire about them. At the same time, we should not forget that SME policy is not a special, separate subject, but one of the horizontal pillars. When we know that the vast majority of our businesses are SMEs, we must also realize that our only lasting, structural solution for the implementation of the cohesion policy, the reduction of unemployment, the enhancement of competitiveness and economic growth, or the facilitation of rural development, research development or even innovation is to build on our own SMEs. We should not neglect this foundation. This is why I am asking that we do not shut the Charter away in a drawer at the end of the debate, but leave it on our desks as a reminder of the long journey we still have ahead of us until we can say that small enterprises are a success in Europe."@en1
