"This report, drafted by Ms Yannakoudakis, concerns women entrepreneurship in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The role of SMEs as the engine of the European Union’s economy – particularly during times of crisis like we are currently experiencing – has already been addressed several times in this sitting.
This report, however, draws our attention to another situation: that of women entrepreneurship. If times are already hard enough, they are even more difficult for those struggling to make it in a world hitherto dominated by men. Whilst acknowledging not just the value of women business owners in SMEs but also their capacity for taking the initiative and the wide range of skills they possess relating to business tasks, particularly administration, this report points out the existence of many obstacles which women have to overcome in order to achieve their goals.
I welcome the adoption of this report, which not only acknowledges the role of women, but also mentions their role in creating jobs and benefits for local economies. It also encourages the Member States to adopt best practices and guidelines that will make it easier for women entrepreneurs, particularly as regards facilitating access to finance."@en1
