"Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) represent 99 % of all European businesses. It is therefore evident that improving the framework conditions in which they operate will help general economic recovery. SMEs are the backbone of the European economy, offering the main opportunity for development and the creation of new jobs. At this time of crisis, however, SMEs should be offered support to internationalise: only 25 % of EU SMEs have been internationally active within the single market while only 13 % have been internationally active outside the EU. In order to support European SMEs, it is essential to provide a simpler and more streamlined regulatory framework, avoiding the national-level bureaucracy that often hampers their activity. At the same time the existing support schemes at national and EU level should be made more effective, avoiding the type of duplication that often complicates and confuses business activity."@en1
