"− Small and medium-sized European companies make a major contribution to economic growth in the European Union. There are 23 million SMEs, which corresponds to 99% of European companies. These numbers alone explain why we wish to and must protect these companies, which are the true driving force behind our economy. We have tried to send clear messages to the Commission with the motion for a resolution voted on today: these companies must not be abandoned. For these reasons, my vote in favour is part of our call for an increase in funding for SMEs, of our demand for less red tape and an adjustment to the standards required to obtain funding so that SMEs can really benefit from it, and also of our call for more funds for research. The economic crisis that has afflicted Europe in recent years must be overcome, and we can only hope to revitalise our economy by supporting these companies."@en1
