"I voted in favour of the own-initiative report which aims at the submission of proposals for strengthening small and medium size enterprises. In Greece, SMEs and family businesses make up 98 % of all businesses. The economic crisis, in addition to excluding them, essentially, from access to credit and liquidity, threatens their very existence. The European Investment Bank’s recent assurances that it will grant them substantial amounts are significant, but do not altogether solve the problem. Support for SMEs also means support for entrepreneurship, innovation and jobs. In this proposal, the European Parliament calls upon the Commission and the Member States to show even greater decisiveness in this direction. Amongst other things, it proposes stepping up the entrepreneurial attitude in the EU and attracting more people into the business world through EU programmes, and providing incentives such as SME-friendly taxation systems and other tax incentives."@en1
