"I voted in favour of the report since industry plays a key role for the European economy. The manufacturing industry generates 25 % of the jobs in the private sector of the European Union and accounts for 80 % of private research and development. These data show the impact that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have on the EU economy and stress the importance for policy makers to look for opportunities to exploit the dynamism within the sector to the wider benefit of EU society. Only if the EU succeeds in strengthening SMEs’ competitiveness and, at the same time, adopts measures able to reduce the administrative burdens that SMEs encounter, the potential of European entrepreneurs will be developed and the EU economy will be pushed back to growth. Public policies must support the development of professional skills in SMEs and ensure they have free access to information. The natural consequence will be the creation of new jobs, more innovation, and higher economic growth of all enterprises, allowing them to achieve the Europe 2020 targets. The Italian economy has been stagnant for years and cannot afford to waste the momentum provided by industry, in which SMEs have always played a major part, relying on quality, tradition and good integration with other industrial systems."@en1
