"Small enterprises are crucially important to creating jobs in the Member States and thus to Europe’s future development. This is not, however, a cross-border issue. On the contrary, each Member State must decide for itself how it wishes to design its small enterprises policy. Institutional competition, in which the Member States are able independently to find sound solutions without being locked into rigid EU regulations is incredibly important to the development of small enterprises. Precisely for that reason, we believe that the EU is not the solution when it comes to bringing about an environment friendly to small enterprises.
The report states that there are obstacles to the development of small enterprises, for example in terms of obtaining credit and dealing with complicated tax systems and with administrative procedures for gaining access to Structural and Development Funds. The Member States must do more to make things simpler for small enterprises, and concerns are expressed about there being big differences in respect of education in entrepreneurship and the cultivation of the spirit of enterprise in schools. It also states that the Charter should have the force of law and be binding because the Member States’ involvement would then be greater.
Believing that a European Charter and annual reports are the solution is just another example of the EU not being sufficiently rooted in reality.
The June List has therefore voted against the report."@en1
