"Mr President, Commissioner, after all that has been said here, we can surely agree that small and medium-sized enterprises can be seen as a pillar of the European Union economy. They also play the role of a major employer, especially because all the large companies tend to have their headquarters in the Asian countries, mainly for cost reasons, which I personally consider to be socially and politically inappropriate, and I hope, Commissioner, that in the future, this Parliament will also discuss this topic. The economic crisis, however, has hit small and medium-sized enterprises hard. Although they are currently facing a difficult period in an effort to survive, they are much more successful than larger firms and are also more adaptable to the market situation. Paradoxically, they find it more difficult to gain financial support than large companies. In the light of the above facts and the enormous importance and the contribution of SMEs to the European economy, we need to focus on finding new ways to use the Structural Funds. We must focus on removing bureaucratic and administrative barriers and generally simplify the provision of credit to SMEs."@en1
