lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we are talking about a sector of the economy which is of absolutely crucial significance, because taken together, small and medium-sized enterprises are, in fact, the European Union’s biggest employer. They provide many more jobs than do the larger firms. Furthermore, SMEs, which are often family-run businesses, were worst affected by the economic crisis. I will go even further and say that the social costs of the loss of strength in this sector are of absolutely fundamental significance. Of course, it may be that the largest firms and the biggest industrial lobbies are more effective in speaking up for themselves, but SMEs should be protected, because this is, in fact, protection of the citizens and the taxpayers of EU Member States. I have one further comment – I would like to emphasise very strongly that the EU’s Member States should not shift responsibility for everything onto the European Union as such. They should themselves take care of SMEs, but to a large extent they are not doing so. Here, I agree with what Mrs Herczog said."@en1
