"Mr President, it was reported today that by 2030 the markets in Asia will overtake the markets of Europe and the US, so quite clearly it is important that we encourage SMEs across the EU, remembering that these are the companies that actually create most of the jobs, as opposed to larger companies. We encourage the SMEs across the EU to be able to trade with the rest of the world to create wealth locally, but also to create wealth locally here in Europe and also to spread that wealth across the world.
At the same time, we should not forget that we should also think about how we can help those entrepreneurs, those SMEs in other countries that want to trade with the EU. One of the problems I find when I go to many of the developing countries is that they say to me: we have the goods, we have the services, we want to sell into the EU market; the problem we face is that we have these tariff barriers – or sometimes these non-tariff barriers – and we have real problems accessing the EU market.
Let us give the Commission some credit here. They have set up a unit to help entrepreneurs from other countries who want to sell into the EU and we should facilitate that as much as possible, because if we can encourage entrepreneurs around the world to create wealth in their own countries, in their own communities, and to take people out of poverty, we have gone a long way to preventing some of the problems of why people want to leave those countries."@en1
