"Mr President, findings from recent studies confirm that, despite the extensive activities and interventions of European institutions, business conditions have not yet improved for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Most Member States evaluate the quality of the legislative environment for the activities of SMEs only on a formal basis, and pay scant regard to the implementation of European law in this area. In view of the critical economic situation in Europe, we should be more consistent in putting pressure on Member States to eliminate the excessive bureaucratic burden. In my country, a small tradesman such as a baker or restaurant operator must regularly submit detailed reports to as many as six state institutions. Every business change requires the completion of new approval and permit procedures, and the involvement of at least three or more government bodies. What is the situation in those countries whose economic growth we now envy? Small tradesmen in those countries do business, pay taxes and that is all. We must also try to simplify the mechanisms for small businesses."@en1
