lpv:translated text	"Although 99% of the EU’s businesses are SMEs (23 million) – responsible for the creation of 80% of the new jobs in the EU in recent years – the majority of the rules normally created are aimed at the 41 000 large European companies. This fosters obvious inequalities in terms of competitiveness. The time has come to reverse this trend and make a commitment to the sectors of the economy in which wealth is truly created, with a policy based on rewarding merit. This would put European SMEs on a par with their counterparts in the rest of the world. Furthermore, because of their flexible nature, SMEs are companies that are accustomed to being at the forefront of innovation in their areas, making the Small Business Act an important step forward in realising the Lisbon Strategy. That is why the Members representing the Portuguese Social Democratic Party (PSD) are supporting this report, which is, as a matter of fact, coherent with the measures proposed in Portugal by the leader of the PSD, Dr Manuela Ferreira Leite."@en1
