"Madam President, last week, during a visit from the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, Bucharest hosted a debate organised by the ALDE Group on the subject of SME financing which, in addition to MEPs, was attended by more than 100 representatives of small and medium-sized enterprises and the banking sector, along with representatives of the European institutions, including Commissioner Tajani, and of the Romanian Government. This was an extremely important opportunity for us to find out the real concerns of SMEs, which is extremely important. I have often heard it said that Parliament and the European institutions in general are very much out of touch with the real concerns of small and medium-sized enterprises. I believe it is necessary for both us as MEPs and the Commission to engage in intensive dialogue with SMEs so that, at European level, we can develop policies that take their needs into account as much as possible. Many SMEs are complaining that the terms of participation in European programmes are completely unfavourable. For that reason, especially since a large number of multiannual programmes and, in particular, the multiannual financial framework are under discussion at the moment, we must take these realities into account and adapt the rules to make them more attractive to small and medium-sized enterprises."@en1
