"It was not me that said this first. It was Commissioner Barroso himself who, just under two years ago, said in this House that red tape was strangling small businesses. I have since asked the Commissioner twice what he is going to do about removing or reducing red tape. I get no answer.
As for what I mean, I mean all the petty, small regulations which so hamper small businesses and drive some of them to the wall and some of them to distraction as the owner sits up late at night completing this form or that form or accounting for this penny or that penny. No, it is not the complete answer; nothing ever is. But it would be a jolly good start if small businesses in particular were freed of much of this red tape so they could get on with the job of doing what they are doing and then, because they have got more capital to spend, employ young people and help youth unemployment."@en1
