".
The multiannual programme for enterprise and entrepreneurship, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), was initially planned to run from 1 January 2001 to 31 December 2005.
This programme is the key element in the Community’s policy to promote entrepreneurship and to support innovation in European SMEs. I therefore voted in favour of this report, which advocates extending the programme until 31 December 2006 and highlights the need to increase the annual appropriation to EUR 91 million.
These measures will improve coordination between the multiannual programme, its successor – the ‘Framework Programme for Competitiveness and Innovation’ (CIP) – and the Seventh Research Framework Programme.
It is important to maintain and extend support to entrepreneurs and SMEs in Europe because they are the backbone of Europe's economy; if we are to achieve the Lisbon objectives they must continue to grow. The financial instruments in the existing programme must also be kept in place, as they largely cover the needs of the new Member States, and restricting funds will hamper those countries from integrating into the European economy."@en1
