"Madam President, small- and medium-sized businesses are the backbone of our economies and drivers of growth, and much of this report is helpful.
However, when it comes down to comments on regulation, the report is simply too vague. To help these businesses we need to do less, not more. Tiny businesses, micro-entities, should be exempt from vast swathes of European legislation, a policy that is now supported by the European Commission, but this Parliament’s report sets hurdles for tiny companies to go through before they can get that exemption. It is the wrong way round.
We should have to prove to those companies why they need to be included in regulation and not leave it up to them to prove to us why they can be exempted. The Commission and national parliaments need to be better at assessing the impacts of legislation. If Parliament really wants to prove its commitment to helping companies then we must consider the impacts of our own amendments before we pass them."@en1
