"Mr Harbour, no matter how much we do, it will never be enough to reach Europe’s 22 million businesses, 21 million of which, as you well know, are small and medium-sized enterprises on which commitments have been made and on which Mr Tajani’s work is focused. He could also express his view on this subject. I think that there is a need to diffuse information.
We have devised this Single Market Week to promote renewed growth, as well as the European SME Week in October; I am also checking that the Points of Single Contact are in operation. We cannot do everything from here in Brussels. We need the involvement of Member States. We also need the cooperation of the chambers of commerce, for example.
You mentioned the brochure which we have produced. We will probably produce others, and I will, either via the Internet or in person, request support from the chambers of commerce, for example, which have direct links with small and medium-sized enterprises, so that they can diffuse this information to their members and to the people on the ground responsible for creating employment and growth. This is something which cannot easily be done from Brussels and for which we need intermediaries and partners.
I would therefore like us to have the opportunity, in 2012 and before October’s Single Market Week, to make sure that every business in the EU receives this basic information on the Services Directive and on the other actions we are taking, for example with regard to accounting standards or public procurement, which are aimed at encouraging small and medium-sized enterprises’ involvement."@en1
