You have touched on one of the most difficult issues with which we are dealing. As you rightly stated, probably the best way of stimulating SME participation is to cut down on red tape. Bigger companies do not have to expend the same proportion of their energy on this as smaller companies, and the same is true of the proportion of finances. We are trying to approach this question in a consistent manner: from the financial regulation, to the rules of participation, to the next steps of how we will deal with that in-house, we are trying to cut red tape. It is one of the most difficult exercises we are conducting. However, I am firmly convinced that, with goodwill, we can take a major step towards at least reversing the negative trend.
On the same day as we adopted the framework programme, we also adopted the special paper dealing with questions of simplification. In addition, we established a kind of simplification board, consisting of a number of small actors who have been advising us on the preparation of the rules of participation and who will continue to advise us on further in-house simplification processes.
I see simplification as a process that we need to address in all phases and which has to be consistently applied throughout the entire period. I hope that, in this major endeavour, I will also obtain the support of the European Parliament and the Council, because it is to a certain extent a problem we all share."@en1
