lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is fitting that we are discussing this issue this morning because SMEs are the group best placed to create jobs in Europe and to enable us to emerge from the economic recession. I am pleased that we are having a discussion on, first of all, the definition of SMEs, because Mr Schwab’s definition that takes in most of the companies in Europe is not really a definition at all. In particular, I agree with Vicky Ford that we should be concentrating particularly on smaller SMEs and micro-businesses and establishing set rules for those which are different to the others, in particular, in relation to bureaucracy, red tape and compliance. These are not only important economically; they are also important socially and culturally because they are usually found in the centre of towns. If they die, the town dies with them. So it is important that we give them access to funding and reduce red tape."@en1
