"I voted in favour of this resolution on women’s entrepreneurship in small and medium-sized enterprises. In the business world, those running their own companies are often far more dedicated than employees and put in longer hours, making personal sacrifices to succeed against the competition. For female entrepreneurs, the stakes are even higher as they have to overcome discrimination in what has traditionally been a male environment. Many have to juggle their own aspirations to succeed alongside their commitments to their family. Women are now a significant part of the workforce of Member States. I agree with the rapporteur’s position that the sharing of best practice would be a positive move. This could be done through a women’s business development agency, which would coordinate the women ambassadors in each Member State. The agency would work with the national governments to promote, support and encourage projects for women. Banks are also vital in their approach to female entrepreneurs. Some banks already have systems in place to support women setting up in business, and indeed recognise the unique approach women have to work. I agree with the rapporteur that all financial institutions need to take this best practice on board."@en1
