"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, my sincere thanks go to Ms Rühle for the work she has done, to the Commission and its President, and, above all, to Commissioner Barnier, both for the way in which he has followed this work and, in particular, for the commitment he has adopted this afternoon here in this Chamber.
Mention has been made of what this sector represents in terms of Europe’s GDP and, consequently, its importance to our economy, as well as to growth and employment. The keywords are important, and I am delighted to point out that they are widely supported. Simplifying documentation, procedures, digitisation and standardisation is one aspect on which all Members have shown their agreement.
The importance of small and medium-sized enterprises to the economic fabric of our continent has also been mentioned. Simplification is useful for large, medium-sized and small businesses: in other words, it is useful for everyone. For small businesses, however, the possibility of broadening access to contracts by splitting them into smaller lots would certainly help to combat many distortions, particularly in the area of subcontracting, as has been mentioned by several speakers here.
I must thank the Commissioner for planning an ambitious series of reforms, which will innovate and, I hope, introduce new procurement modalities, tackle concessions and projects, and aim for quality in the results to be achieved and the routes to be taken, including respect for the rules of the employment market."@en1
