"Mr President, the European Parliament is closely watching how the European Commission intends to remove the barriers faced by small and medium-sized enterprises. Despite the fact that in the current programming period, the allocation of resources in my country is relatively high, representatives of small firms are, however, pointing out that interest in these funds and demand for them is higher than the amount available.
I would like to point out that a specific feature of the Polish SME sector is that it is dominated by very small firms – micro-entities. These comprise as many as 96% of all SMEs, of which over two-thirds involve self-employment – the people who run these firms are self-employed. So it is necessary to remove numerous barriers, including most of all the growing bureaucracy. Furthermore, at a time of deepening recession, a difficulty is presented by the fact that there is a general deficit of the own resources necessary in the EU system of cofinancing. It is also necessary to give attention to the waiting period for these resources, which is too long, as well as to the fact that advance payments are not made for these projects. The European Parliament should therefore simplify and improve procedures when it starts work on drafting new rules in 2013."@en1
