"SMEs are a linchpin of economic growth in the EU, with their contribution to innovation and technological development, and they have considerable potential for creating jobs. To achieve these objectives, businesses need support from the EU by means of extensive funding. The attraction of SMEs is their high level of adaptability. I regret to note that, at the moment, a European telecoms giant can no longer keep pace with rival producers in third countries. This situation does not similarly apply to European SMEs in this sector, which have been able to tailor their offering to market requirements. Apart from structural support, businesses need to benefit from local assistance programmes. The Enterprise Europe Network provides them with integrated information, transfer services, innovation and technology, funding and legislation in this area. Horizontal cooperation may bring regions considerable benefits. This is why it should be promoted accordingly. I should stress the importance of the financial instruments supplied to SMEs by the Commission and EIB. In countries like Romania, the technical assistance programmes have delivered results and are continuing to provide necessary support to the business sector."@en1
