"Mr President, my colleague Mr Lechner has held some very weighty briefs in committee and he has once again done justice to the efforts that were required from him. I thank him for his approach.
This is of course one of the proposals in the Single Market Act Communication which outlines 50 proposals to strengthen the internal market. It addresses an obvious missing link in the sharing of company information which will reduce administrative burdens for those seeking information across borders. It is actually estimated that it will save more than EUR 69 million per year.
At EU level we are seeking to reach out, under our growth strategy, by means of free trade agreements. It is important that, whilst we do that, we also look internally and encourage companies to expand beyond their national borders and to operate across the single market. The legal certainty and increased transparency that comes from the sharing of information in this way will help them conduct their business in a more streamlined way, once again linking into our growth-focused strategy.
I have to say that this does not apply to all the initiatives coming from the Commission. Certainly the misguided contract sales law proposals are deeply unhelpful and unwanted.
The interconnection of registers, rather than a centralised approach, makes this much more efficient as companies will not need to supply information on multiple occasions or go beyond existing requirements to provide information. I strongly encourage the Commission to come forward with other such genuinely growth-focused measures rather than – as I said before – unhelpful and unwanted instruments like the proposed sales law.
Our SMEs and other businesses and companies are crying out for a growth strategy at EU level, and in these strained times we are duty bound to deliver on that. Navel gazing is not the answer. We have to be brave, and we have to look outwards and reach out on their behalf."@en1
