"Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) constitute around 99% of all businesses within the European Union, contributing greatly to the European economy through innovation, economic growth and the creation of over 100 million jobs. My vote in favour of this report reflects the importance of enabling SMEs to function in a manner not over-complicated by regulations, but one which encourages efficiency, flexibility and investment.
I recognise that advances have been made to ease the financial and administrative burden on SMEs, such as the 2010 establishment of the SMEs finance forum, but urge the Commission to do more in order to create a more competitive and accessible economy for the SMEs which are so vital to the success of Europe’s economy.
Incentives must encourage the necessary reforms to financial systems in Member States, investment must be made to nurture innovation in SMEs and administrative systems must work for, not against, these enterprises helping to create a more stable, more varied European economy."@en1
