"I know from my own experience what it is to be a woman entrepreneur, because I ran my own business before I went into politics. Therefore it is with great enthusiasm that I will vote in favour of this report, which promotes entrepreneurship among women. We need women in business, and particularly in small and medium-sized enterprises. There are many young, well-educated women who unfortunately are unemployed. I think that running their own business would for some of them be a very good option. We must encourage and help women in making their first steps towards this goal. What they need most of all is help in the form of information on potential sources of finance for small and medium-sized enterprises and on grants, preferential loans and the possibilities of using the European Progress Microfinance Facility. No less important is training and vocational guidance for those women who do not have practical knowledge about how to understand legislation or how to find investors and create viable business plans. To generate a natural increase of interest among women in running their own business it is necessary to teach entrepreneurship, and to do so in the early years of schooling, which will not only increase the proportion of female entrepreneurs in the market, but will also be useful in the fight against stereotypes, which result in discrimination and the perception of women as being unable to run their own business."@en1
