"In Europe there are approximately 23 million small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) which represent 99 % of all businesses and employ around 75 million people. Bearing in mind the impact that these enterprises have on the European economy, it is important that policy makers look for opportunities to exploit the dynamism within the sector to the wider benefit of European society. In order for the European Union economy to be pushed back to growth, the EU must adopt measures able to reduce the administrative burdens that SMEs encounter. This report, which merited my support, advocates reinforcing industrial and SME competitiveness, which requires an environment that favours new ideas and new businesses. The EU should also encourage its SMEs to go international, mainly in the new emerging markets, and therefore stresses the need to reduce some of the substantial obstacles faced by these businesses when they attempt to launch themselves on the global market. Lastly, the need for the Commission to continue and reinforce programmes such as ‘Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs’ and the need to study the possibility of creating a programme in order to give talented entrepreneurs the opportunity to acquire experience in centres of excellence outside the EU are also supported."@en1
