"Mr President, we might be able to agree with this report in relation to various measures concerning the provision of information, etc., but the fact remains that it misses the point with respect to the problems that small and medium-sized enterprises are now facing. In my country, Portugal, dozens of companies are going to the wall every day because of the recessionary policies imposed by the Troika on a subservient government. This includes increased taxation on these enterprises, but also policies leading to reduced domestic consumption and the loss of workers’ purchasing power. No matter how things are dressed up, the fact remains that the continuation of so-called austerity policies, for which the European institutions are also responsible, leaves no hope whatsoever of building competitiveness and business prospects. Trying to disguise this is to live in a pseudo-reality that exists only in the corridors of these institutions, well away from the real, concrete world."@en1
