"Madam President, there is a direct link between internationalisation and boosting SMEs’ performance. International activities consolidate growth and competitiveness and maintain companies’ long-term viability. However, European SMEs still depend, to a large extent, on domestic markets, in spite of the opportunities presented by the extended single market and globalisation in general.
Internationalisation does not restrict itself just to exports. For example, cross-border cooperation, involvement in beneficial networks, looking for competitive methods or new technologies are important factors in motivating modern SMEs to become internationalised.
In addition, as part of their internationalisation strategies, SMEs need to combine different approaches which will provide mutual support, both domestically and abroad. This is why I want to stress the importance of getting businesses to establish partnerships with third countries, thereby ensuring access to domestic and global markets."@en1
