"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner Tajani’s speech was most welcome. He laid stress once again on a factor of prime importance: that of small and medium-sized enterprises seen and experienced as a model of production, hence, as a social model, because they form the basic building block when it comes to employment.
The economic crisis we are experiencing is not transient but structural, and connected to changes in the markets as another consequence of globalisation. Small and medium-sized enterprises account for 99% of the entire structure of European industry. The draft resolution spotlights certain unavoidable requirements, namely: better information, facilitated access to credit and less red tape, to make the means of access to European Union resources easier to navigate.
As the Commissioner himself just confirmed, there is a need for more simplification and flexibility, as well as more resources for innovation and research; the need for the European Commission to develop new guidelines that are clearer and more comprehensible so that small and medium-sized enterprises have easier access to useful information; and a need for a new perspective on lending. At a time of crisis, it is not fair that only small and medium-sized enterprises pay while the banking system continues to make and grow its profits.
It is important to ensure that the European Commission’s new framework take account of these requirements, so that the Europe 2020 strategy is more than just an empty shell, and in fact contains instruments appropriate to achieving the objectives that it sets itself."@en1
