In order for the EU to escape from the economic crisis, it is crucial for small and medium-sized enterprises to operate properly. Nothing proves this better than the fact that SMEs account for a significant proportion of enterprises and employ 75 million people. Incentives and opportunities have to be found for them, so that we can help them to operate and increase their competitiveness. Above all, there must be movement towards improvements in the regulation of product markets and towards innovative sectors. The participation of SMEs in continuing with work aiming to modernise and interconnect energy networks is almost indispensable from the perspectives of sustainability and resource efficiency. Since the social economy employs more than 11 million people in the European Union, the creation of benefits and support for social enterprises is also important. I agree that improving the commercial environment may be one way of promoting economic growth. Aid originating from the Structural Funds and the Connecting Europe Facility must be used to improve infrastructure, including investment in reconstruction and modernisation. Member States should strive for a consistent reduction in the administrative burdens for enterprises. I also think that the creation of tax systems that are favourable to small enterprises and of forms of business finance that are effective and easy to access will be of crucial importance for enterprises and for the citizens employed by them."@en1
