"Europe’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often lack information on the support services provided by the European Union and as a result do not make use of the available resources and lose out on precious opportunities for growth. I therefore welcome the contents of this report and in particular the emphasis on the importance of carrying out a mapping of programmes inside and outside the Union in order to provide SMEs with an up-to-date framework of the services available. A European strategy alone, regardless of how ambitious and well-structured it is, will not be sufficient to bring about significant changes. It must be accompanied by strong action to provide better information to SMEs in order to raise awareness of EU support services for internationalisation. Among tools for better information, a central role will be played by the new online portal that should provide constantly updated information about priority markets and sectors together with details of the various support services available. I also agree with the report’s underlining of the need for better coordination and synergy between different European, national, regional and local polices and instruments directly addressing SMEs: fragmentation must be reduced in order to ensure greater pooling and coordination of financial resources available at the various levels."@en1
