I support the content of this report as I consider that its proposals are intended to encourage research and development in SMEs, which represent over 99% of all enterprises in Europe and which employ over 60% of the working population.
The report adds that the number of SMEs engaged in research and development activities is very limited and we must therefore encourage, through all available means, this type of initiative, which will become increasingly decisive in consolidating their competitiveness.
In this respect, the most decisive aspect is not covered by this report. It is vital that multiplying effects are created, which, through modern forms of business management, may lead to processes that can create value through incorporated innovation and efficiency. This creation of value must benefit not only the enterprises where this is developed, but also the whole business fabric, both upstream and downstream.
The adoption of this report must not make us forget the need to reinforce the financial support mechanisms for start-ups, an area where many difficulties still exist, particularly for young entrepreneurs who want to start a business experiment.
I would stress that red tape must be removed from these processes so that SMEs do not shy away from a commitment to research and development."@en1
