"In Europe, we are currently witnessing an increasing movement of women participating in the labour market, which is also manifesting itself in the world of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Although there have been improvements compared to the past, data shows us, nonetheless, that gender equality in the area of entrepreneurship has not yet been fully achieved. Women find it harder to start up entrepreneurial activity, either because of society’s deep-rooted preconceptions or because of coordinating work with family life, all of which leads to a severe economic and social situation in Europe and the world. I therefore consider it extremely important to combat this
through policies to support women entrepreneurs, to reduce gender inequality, to establish professional advice and training structures at all levels, and to provide better access to funding and social measures that would enable free choice in conjunction with family life. I am also in favour of establishing cross-border cooperation programmes for supporting women entrepreneurs, which would enable the exchanging of experiences, the streamlining of resources and the sharing of best practices. It is only with strong, concerted policies that women will be able to participate in the world of entrepreneurship on a more equal footing."@en1
