"Mr President, I have been going round my country, Bulgaria, during the last few months and have met quite a few representatives, mainly of small businesses. I have heard the same message from all of them: ‘We are being choked! Stop looking at the big companies and banks because we are being choked the most by the crisis, compared to all the rest!’ I also saw the production methods they use and, unfortunately, many of these companies are using the same technology as they were 20 years ago when they started their business.
When I asked them: ‘Well, why do you not bid for projects, why do you not modernise your technology?’, I received the same answer everywhere: this administration does not make it worth the effort to try to bid for a project, because they will probably not get it. Even corruption does not operate in favour of small and medium-sized enterprises because the officials running projects want large projects because large projects lead to large bribes.
As for the definition, the only thing I would say is that we should not set limits. Setting limits is easy; let us remove the barriers instead."@en1
