lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I would like to thank the rapporteur for the work she has done, and our fellow Members for their hard work in creating this new microfinance instrument. This European instrument will make it possible to grant micro-credits to small enterprises and to people who have lost their jobs and want to set up their own small businesses. In this time of financial crisis, the most vulnerable people, especially the unemployed and young people, have been the worst affected. In fact, over 3.5 million job losses have been recorded this year in the European Union. The adoption of this new tool will make it easier for these people to access the capital required to set up or develop a business and make their dreams of entrepreneurship come true. We should not forget that over a third of micro-enterprises are created by unemployed people. In my region, I am often approached by citizens wishing to obtain aid to set up their own business. I am convinced that this new initiative will bear fruit in preserving jobs and that it will create new jobs too. The proposal will facilitate investments of low sums and will give micro-enterprises an opportunity to grow. Madam President, I would like to welcome the real added value of micro-credits, which will go hand in hand with new support measures, such as training and mentoring, which will enable the youngest people and the unemployed to obtain guarantees and assistance for their investment plans. I hope that this new instrument to promote employment will be adopted as soon as possible and that an agreement will be reached between Parliament and the Council on making this tool, which is vital for our fellow citizens, and particularly so during this crisis period, a permanent one. Ladies and gentlemen, let us not forget that it is small and medium-sized enterprises that create jobs."@en1
