"We are awaiting with interest the adoption of the European legal framework for small and medium-sized enterprises. The EU economic recovery plan will open up new sources of funding for financing small and medium-sized enterprises.
Reducing the administrative burden, financing professional training and creating the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund are measures which will help protect jobs and promote entrepreneurship. The European Investment Bank will make available EUR 30 billion to finance loans requested by SMEs. However, I feel that this amount is not sufficient.
I think that at this time of crisis the following urgent measures need to be taken: procedures for granting state aid should be simplified; the period for founding a company should be limited to three days; and the settlement by public institutions of payments owing to SMEs should be guaranteed within a maximum period of 30 days.
I welcome the proposal from the Commission to promote the use of electronic invoicing, an investment estimated at EUR 18 billion. It is also becoming necessary to develop competitive clusters based on companies investing in research and the development of new technologies."@en1
