"Madam President, Mr Tajani, ladies and gentlemen, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Italy and throughout Europe are suffering terribly from the effects of the crisis. They are the ones that struggle most every time they have to deal with a large debt, since it is more difficult for them to put up security. They are the ones that most need to have liquid assets available, since they have less capital that they can make grow. They are always the ones that first find themselves overwhelmed by market difficulties, as they cannot leverage diversification so much. It is in their interests, above all, that we will be voting tomorrow on the report on the proposal for a directive on combating late payment.
Public authorities are there to serve the citizens and their interests, which, in this case, are economic interests. It is in line with these interests that administrative procedures must be designed, established and implemented to respect and value the efforts of those who are responsible for the future of as many families as there are workers employed in a company.
Thanks to the European Parliament, from tomorrow, SMEs will be better protected against those opposite numbers in the public and private sectors that, hitherto, have relied too heavily on being able to put off paying their bills. In conclusion, Madam President, I would like to thank the rapporteur and Commissioner Tajani for their commitment."@en1
