"I voted for the report on women entrepreneurship in small and medium-sized enterprises. At a time when European economies are running out of steam and the economic crisis is still affecting a large number of citizens, it is crucial to invest in women. This ongoing imbalance between men and women with regard to setting up businesses is unjustifiable and ineffective. This report promotes both financial support instruments for setting up SMEs and information for women concerning the various options available to them to help them start a business. It also rightly recommends the introduction of policies catering for the specific problems encountered by women. In particular, it highlights the importance of measures to help women achieve a work-life balance, as this is a major obstacle for many women and prevents them from taking the step of starting a business. Emphasis is also placed on the prevention of all kinds of discrimination against women: it is high time that equal treatment applied in every area."@en1
