Last October, the European Commission presented a policy paper entitled ‘An integrated industrial policy for the globalisation era’, which contains a number of specific initiatives intended to give a strong impetus to European industrial policy.
SMEs are, as Commissioner Tajani described them in Parliament yesterday, the ‘lifeblood’ of economic development. One job in four depends on the industrial sector, as do our global competitiveness, innovation and research. Commitment and coordination between European and national institutions, banks and SMEs are required if we are to bring down bureaucratic barriers and simplify rules. Many forward strides have been made in recent months with the adoption of the Late Payment Directive, the protection of trademarks and products, the opportunities for the development of the green economy and new policies focused on tourism, but much more remains to be done.
Many companies in the EU are dependent on EU funding and incentives, which is why access to credit must be guaranteed and improved. This is in fact a priority objective that I hope will be thoroughly addressed in the review of the Small Business Act, which will be presented on 23 February in Rome by Commissioner Tajani himself."@en1
