"Madam President, SMEs provide roughly 65 million jobs in the European Union and are a genuine source of innovation and research. Unfortunately, even at European level, fewer than 30% of SMEs are involved in cross-border transactions. Therefore, how can we increase the level of internationalisation of European SMEs without relocating their business to third countries? The European Union is devising a new industrial policy and space policy, which means that international cooperation is becoming extremely important. These initiatives, which are crucial for creating jobs and for the European Union’s competitiveness, obviously need adequate funding. We have asked the Commission to allocate the budget required to carry out research into GNSS. This will enable European SMEs to help develop services and applications using satellite-based location services and implement the European space strategy globally. On this point, we obviously have to promote European standards globally as well. What measures does the Commission envisage for increasing SMEs’ involvement in association agreements between the European Union and third countries or regions in the world, for instance, in light of the European Union-Brazil Summit being held on 4 October this year? Commissioner, in 2009, the Commission published a communication about a clean and eco-efficient economy for European citizens. It suggested seven measures for creating 2 million new jobs as part of the eco-efficient economy by 2020. One of these measures was to harness the full potential of small and medium-sized enterprises. I would like you to tell us, in light of the fight against climate change, what support you are giving to internationalise small and medium-sized European enterprises in order to provide clean solutions for industrial development in third countries."@en1
