"Mr President, in these times of crisis, we are finally considering entrepreneurs and enterprise. Money – as important as it is – is not the only consideration here. Other considerations include having the right education, making connections and creating and also accommodating innovation. A lot of attention is being paid to SMEs, but is that attention well placed? I say this as I have noticed many tendencies towards research once again, but little towards innovation and the SMEs sector.
More attention needs to be paid to the whole financial cycle and also to all kinds of stimulus measures, which are not always within the gift of you or the Commission. Very often, for instance, what is needed are small sums, business angels and venture capital, for the SMEs sector. How would you regulate that with this fund? Will the fund that you have been talking about cover all these issues for small sums, too? It is often start-ups that need small sums.
When it comes to having a second bite at the cherry – we need the experience of every entrepreneur for a second chance. Mr Tajani, your colleague, writes in a letter to us that the Commission’s policy for second-chance entrepreneurs is not good and that the procedures are really pretty poor. Have you managed to come to a more positive position in respect of second-chance entrepreneurs, and what are you going to do about this?"@en1
