lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, small businesses are the backbone of our economies and if we want to succeed we must help them to grow, and that means making it easy for them to raise funds. Too often in the past, small companies have found that the legal and bureaucratic costs that they face trying to find new shareholders in a public listing make the exercise exorbitantly expensive. But the changes we are discussing tonight will make it easier for these companies to publish a prospectus, go to the markets and find investors. In today’s exciting digital markets we have seen increasing opportunities also to raise money through crowdfunding, and it is important that this is recognised and is not overburdened with bureaucracy before it gets off the ground. My committee’s role in this was to ensure that consumer issues are safeguarded. People will benefit from increased investment choices, but we worked hard with consumer experts to ensure that there is an appropriate level of clear and precise information so that consumers can make informed choices. It has been a pleasure to work on this file with the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, especially with Mr De Backer and I wish him well in his new job, but also with the Commission and the former Commissioner, Jonathan Hill, who cared so passionately about using politics to make real practical changes. I hope that in a post-Brexit world we will be able to find ways for businesses across the EU to still access those deep capital markets in the UK and for British businesses to maintain and develop relationships with investors on the continent."@en1
