"Mr President, I commend Ms McIntyre for her efforts in this report and I share with her my desire for greater success for small and medium enterprises, and indeed their ability to create jobs. I think in the UK SMEs create up to about 43% of the workforce, the highest ratio. We differ, however, on how to go about it. She obviously believes that she can achieve this from inside the European Union, in what is probably one of her Conservative Party’s many hopes for reform. I feel this is unlikely. In 2009 when I attended, with Mr Bill Benyon, the Federation for Small Businesses (FSB) hustings in Birmingham, the FSB manifesto said, please, no more legislation from the European Union, please cut the red tape.
Ms McIntyre, in the two and a half years you have been here you have failed to cut one piece of red tape. And indeed Mr Rübig, who submitted a question, talks about gold-plating. Well, the UK leads on gold-plating and this Conservative government has not done one thing to cut gold-plating. The Conservative government is losing us jobs in Europe."@en1
