lpv:translated text	"There are 23 million small and medium-sized enterprises in the EU at present. Small and medium-sized enterprises comprise 99% of all EU enterprises, and are responsible for 100 million jobs in the Union. It is very clear that the issue of the cost and unavailability of credit is the biggest problem for the small and medium-sized enterprises sector at present. Many viable enterprises still have difficulty accessing credit at a reasonable rate from the banks. Considering the amount of support received by the banking sector from the Irish taxpayer, this is incredible and unacceptable. Other costs such as rents, utility bills and local charges also hamper the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises in the present difficult times."@en1
