lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I would like to begin by congratulating the rapporteur on her work and thanking her for her openness and cooperation in reaching compromises that gained broad support. Today, it is vital to discuss small and medium-sized enterprises and entrepreneurship, with regard to both men and women. Despite the major difficulties that small and medium-sized enterprises have been facing over the past few years, they do indeed continue to play an important role in job creation and are a driving force for economic growth in Europe. Female entrepreneurship should be encouraged as it has enormous potential to be exploited and it is a way of increasing employment rates. In this report, the rapporteur requests and recommends that the Member States adopt measures for reconciling family and professional life in order to encourage women to start up their own businesses. We also agree with the recommendations on the need for advice on the methods of funding and financial management available, as well as the importance of accessing finance, particularly microfinance, and to promote, in this respect, the EU Progress programme. Finally, I should like to clarify the position on the content of paragraph 46 by saying that, in the interests of legality, consistency and thoroughness, we shall vote on this paragraph separately as I do not object in the slightest to equal representation of men and women on the boards of large companies and stock exchange-listed companies, which is not currently the case."@en1
