"Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for 99 % of European businesses and employ 75 million people, or 70 % of the total number of jobs in the EU. These figures alone do not adequately convey the importance of protection and enhancement of this sector, which in the last decade created 80 % of all new jobs in the EU. We have for some time now argued in favour of certain measures and initiatives to support SMEs, including reducing administrative burdens and bureaucracy. The international dimension is still relatively underdeveloped, and strengthening the Enterprise Europe Network would certainly bring benefits in this area. Equally welcome are the instruments for trade defence and intellectual property right protection in third markets. In this regard, the helpdesk set up in China is a useful pilot experience that should be developed and improved in order to make it more effective, before exporting the model to other countries."@en1
