".
Mr President, so here it is. Governments across the EU are having to tighten their belts and reduce their debt and reduce their deficit, but the solution here seems to be to increase the debt and spend even more taxpayers’ money to increase that debt; to continue with wasteful subsidies rather than focusing on the better use of existing resources.
At the Committee on International Trade we asked for a better use of existing resources to help SMEs in the EU to access markets overseas, in order to facilitate trade. We also asked for help for entrepreneurs in developing countries to meet EU standards so that they can access our markets, create growth back in their own countries and reduce their reliance on aid.
Overall, I think we should remember that spending is only one very small part of the picture. How do we return to growth? Let us ask the question: how many large EU companies which compete at the top level globally have been established in the last 20 years? Where are the Googles and the Facebooks of Europe? We should focus on completing the single market, promote entrepreneurs and make way for growth and prosperity."@en1
