lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Europe needs growth. For there to be economic growth, we need investment, because it is with investment that we will have new jobs. We have limited financial instruments in Europe which are intended precisely for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), where it is indeed easiest to create new jobs. Where is the challenge; where is the problem? The definition of a small or medium-sized enterprise is currently so broad that it includes practically all – 99% – of European businesses. This means that businesses that are genuinely small and which really do find it difficult to obtain financing do not have the opportunities that they need. I suggest that we review the definition of an SME so that it includes genuinely small enterprises and only small enterprises, which are the ones that most need help."@en1
