"− Madam President, the Commission has proposed some concrete measures to promote female entrepreneurship within the scope of the Small Business Act for Europe. The first measure was the creation of the European Network of Female Entrepreneurship Ambassadors in 2009. We have managed to get entrepreneurs involved in campaigning on the ground in order to encourage women of all ages to set up their own business and become entrepreneurs. Role models are very important when it comes to motivating a person to set up a new business. Today, we have 320 ambassadors in 22 European countries. This network has been a success; in its first year of operating, it has already exceeded its objectives in terms of holding events and meeting the public’s expectations: there are over 7 500 potential female entrepreneurs in 10 countries. What is more, many ambassadors have gone beyond the task they were set, which was simply to campaign for female entrepreneurship. They have actively supported the creation of new businesses. Thanks to their work, in the six participating countries – we do not have any data on other countries – more than 110 new female-run businesses have been set up. The Commission is preparing to launch the European Network of Mentors for Women Entrepreneurs on 15 November. This scheme is aimed at women who have already set up their business. We are going to enlist the support of female entrepreneurs so that they can act as mentors to new female entrepreneurs. These mentors will help female entrepreneurs by offering them advice and support on start-ups, management and the development of their business. They will be selected at national level by the contractors participating in the scheme and will be successful, well-known entrepreneurs."@en1
