"Thank you very much, Mr President. In the years to come, the sustainable development of the European Union’s economies can only be realised if we strengthen the 23 million small and medium-sized enterprises in the Union, since they safeguard roughly 4 out of 5 jobs that have been created in the Union recently. The European package of measures for small businesses, the ‘Small Business Act’, published by the Commission in June, acknowledges the central role played by small businesses in European economies and provides a general framework for the policy of the Union and the Member States. This document proposes the adoption of new regulations in key areas such as simplified regulation of state aid and an increase in financial discipline. However, European small businesses need more than merely the political will of the Commission, Parliament or even the Member States. Small businesses need the new regulations to be drawn up quickly and applied effectively. The European Parliament must assume a key role in accelerating this process. Thank you."@en1
