I supported this excellent report, which offers a way for the EU to deal successfully with competition on the world market. The EU can derive benefits in tackling international competition from fostering a culture of innovation and research.
Pursuing this line, the EU must channel all its efforts into promoting the entrepreneurial spirit and in particular SMEs. This is because:
they play a key role in the European economy, contributing to stronger and longer-lasting growth;
they are responsible for around 95% of the jobs created;
they can serve as an effective meeting point between universities and businesses;
they guarantee a vital link between the realities of manufacturing and its territorial dimension, and thus enable the phenomenon of relocation to be overcome and managed.
In spite of this fundamental contribution to economic growth, the SMEs continue to be beset by obstacles.
Non-wage costs are one of the biggest obstacles facing SMEs; they often do not create jobs because they are unable to meet the administrative requirements involved. SMEs continue to be affected by bureaucratic obstacles, including access to capital markets, to Community programmes and to the Structural Funds."@en1
