SMEs are the backbone of the European economy, job creation and regional development.
The involvement of SMEs is therefore a vital factor in implementing the objectives set in the Lisbon Strategy aimed at fostering sustainable growth and creating more and better jobs.
I therefore welcome the implementation of a European Charter for SMEs, which will enable EU Member States to enjoy the benefits of exchanging good practice.
The purpose of this report is to strengthen the SME dimension in Community policy. To this end, it recommends streamlining existing European instruments.
This report once again draws attention to the difficulties experienced by SMEs in accessing European Union programmes and related funding.
In addition to these obstacles, the situation will only become worse, given that the financial envelope for the next financial perspective 2007-2013, as adopted by the Council, fell victim to swingeing cuts of some 50%. I refer to projects from which the SMEs benefit under the heading ‘Competitiveness, growth and employment’, and more specifically the Seventh Framework Programme for development and the programme for competitiveness and innovation."@en1
