Dette er i dag den vigtigste forudsætning for, at virksomhedernes konkurrenceevne kan blive styrket såvel på det indre marked som uden for Den Europæiske Union i de lande, Unionen har indgået samarbejdsaftaler med. Den endelige færdiggørelse af det indre marked, forbedring af informationsnettene, styrkelse af eksporten samt et industrielt samarbejde er centrale elementer i internationaliseringen af de små og mellemstore virksomheder og vil udgøre en grundlæggende del af det kommende flerårige program for de små og mellemstore virksomheder.
That now is a basic requirement for the strengthening of the competitiveness of these undertakings, both in the internal market and outside the European Union in countries with which the Union has cooperation agreements. Completion of the internal market, improvement of informa tion networks, export assistance and industrial cooperation are core factors for the strengthening of small and mediumsized undertakings in the international arena and will be a main plank of the next multiannual programme for these undertakings. ings.
Jeg har her forsøgt at sammenfatte de hovedemner, som Kommissionen har taget i betragtning under udarbejdelsen af sin rapport til Det Europæiske Råd i Madrid.
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I have tried in brief to cover the main aspects that the Commission has had in mind in drawing up its report for the European Council in Madrid.
Kommissionen vil følge Madrid-rapporten op med en omsætning af prioriteterne i visse fællesskabsaktioner.
After presenting the report in Madrid we will translate the priorities into a number of Community actions.
Desuden vil vi udarbejde forslag om fortsættelse af de aktioner, der har vist sig effektive.
We will also develop proposals to continue with actions which have proved effective.
Vi vil om kort tid fremlægge et nyt flerårigt program for perioden 1997-2000 med henblik på at forbedre støtten til de små og mellemstore virksomheder samt håndværksvirksomheder. der.
Very shortly we will be presenting a new multiannual programme for the years 1997-2000 with the objective of giving better support to small and mediumsized undertakings and the craft industry sector.
Den tredje prioritet vedrører bedre adgang til finansielle midler for de beskæftigelsesfremmende små og mellemstore virksomheder.
The third priority is to strengthen access to finance for small and mediumsized undertakings which are creating new jobs.
De små og mellemstore virksomheder er langt mere afhængige af nationale finansielle kilder, end de store virksomheder er.
Compared with large undertakings, small and mediumsized undertakings are overly-dependent on internal capital sources.
Kapitalmangel og utilstrækkelig garanti betyder samtidig højere låneomkostninger.
Borrowing costs them more because they have difficulty in providing adequate guarantees.
Vi mener, at det långivningsinstrument, der blev vedtaget i Edinburgh, bør udvides med 2 mia ecu med rentetilskud til de små og mellemstore virksomheder, der skaber nye arbejdspladser.
We believe that the Edinburgh borrowing instrument for small and mediumsized undertakings should be extended by 2 billion ECU and that small and mediumsized undertakings which are creating new jobs should receive interest subsidies.
Endvidere bør fællesskabsbudgettet yde mere støtte til de små virksomheder og håndværksvirksomhederne i form af lånegaranti og dækning af forsikringsomkostningerne. Støtten skal hovedsagelig ydes via Den Europæiske Investeringsfond.
Support from the Community budget for small and craft undertakings, in the form of loan guarantees and the defrayment of repayment insurance premiums, must also be provided, principally through the Euro pean Investment Fund.
Endvidere mener Kommissionen, at de seneste initiativer til oprettelse af kapitalmarkeder for de små og mellemstore virksomheder i Europa bør opmuntres.
The Commission also believes that recent initiatives on the creation of a capital market for small and mediumsized undertakings in Europe must be taken further.
Navnlig tror vi. at et paneuropæisk kapitalmarked for små og mellemstore virksomheder vil få stor betydning.
In particular we believe in the importance of creating a pan-European capital market for these undertakings.
For at bane vejen for og fremskynde netop disse planer opfordrer vi medlemsstaterne til at fjerne alle lov- og forskriftsmæssige samt skattemæssige hindringer inden udgangen af 1996.
To prepare the ground for this we are recommending to the Member States that they remove all legislative, regulatory and taxation obstacles by the end of 1996.
Den fjerde prioritet vedrører mindskelse af markedets forvridninger og svagheder.
Enterprise must be supported and its importance recognized in the shaping of policies at every level in the European Union, European and national.
Selv om det indre marked er begyndt at give virksomhederne reelle fordele, møder de små og mellem store virksomheder stadig vanskeligheder.
The fourth priority is to reduce distortions and weaknesses in the market. Although the internal market has begun to bring real benefits to these businesses they are still encountering difficulties.
En kort beskrivelse af situationen omfatter manglende konkurrence inden for visse beskyttede områder, forsinkede betalinger, forvridninger på grund af statsstøtte og forskellige hindringer for deltagelse i offentlige indkøb på tværs af grænser.
If we look at the situation we see a lack of competition in certain protected sectors, problems over pay ment delays, distortions created by state aid and impediments to cross-frontier participation in state procurement tendering.
Alt dette er afgørende faktorer, der virker hæmmende på oprettelsen og udviklingen af små og mellemstore virksomheder.
These factors are inhibiting the creation of new small and mediumsized businesses and are disincentives to further expansion of those already in existence.
Kommissionen mener, at der bør ske en gradvis indførelse af' konkurrence på de beskyttede markeder, og at markedsforvridninger forårsaget af statsstøtte bør mindskes.
The Commission believes that efforts must be made progressively to introduce competition in protected markets and that market distortions caused by state aid must be reduced.
Samtidig bør der ske en udvidelse af de små og mellemstore virksomheders muligheder for at deltage i offentlige indkøb, også på tværs af grænserne.
In addition, small and mediumsized undertakings must be given greater opportunities to participate in state procurement tendering and, also, in cross-frontier state procurement tendering.
Men for at opnå de bedst mulige resultater må vi have medlemsstaternes støtte og deltagelse, støtte fra Europa-Parlamentet og fra de små og mellemstore virksomheders egne instanser.
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, allow me to thank you again for your contribution to the promotion of the policies for small and mediumsized undertakings.
I dag er det nødvendigt at opmuntre til virksomhedsinitiativer og anerkende deres betydning under udformningen af politikker over hele Den Europæiske Union, både på europæisk og nationalt plan.
Plooij-Van Gorsel (ELDR). - (NL) Mr President, Commissioner, I am delighted that you have come here once again to tell us just how much importance the Commission attaches to the development of small and mediumsized businesses.
Dette kræver imidlertid en holdningsændring i den offentlige forvaltning, hos pengeinstitutterne, men også i de store virksomheder, til de små og mellemstore virksomheders rolle og muligheder, ligesom der bør ske en justering af undervisnings- og uddannelsessystemerne på nationalt plan.
Small and mediumsized firms are regarded as a tremendous source of employment, so I do not see why the Commission insists on refusing Member States the possibility of reducing the VAT rate for labourintensive services.
En sådan indsats er først og fremmest nødvendig af hensyn til mulighederne for at skabe flere arbejdspladser inden for alle områder af europæisk erhvervsliv.
We have already seen that employment and firms in the services sector are growing, so it would benefit small and mediumsized businesses if Member States could reduce VAT if they wish. Could you give me an answer?
Den femte prioritet vedrører styrkelsen af forskning, innovation og uddannelse til gavn for de små og mellemstore virksomheder.
The fifth priority is to strengthen research, innovation and training for the benefit of small and mediumsized undertakings.
Vi bør med alle passende midler opmuntre til oprettelse af nye, teknologiintensive små og mellemstore virksomheder, fremme innovation og forbedre de små og mellemstore virksomheders adgang til forskningsprogrammer og teknologiske udviklingsprogrammer.
We must use all the means available to us to encourage the creation of high technology small and mediumsized undertakings, the development of innovation and improved access for small and mediumsized undertakings to the research and technological development programmes.
Vi bør sikre en nemmere og hurtigere formidling af forskningsresultater til de små og mellemstore virksomheder og navnlig til de helt små virksomheder.
We must secure wider dissemination of research findings to small and mediumsized undertakings, especially to the smallest undertakings.
Samtidig er det en afgørende faktor for virksomhedernes udvikling, at de bliver fortrolige med og inddrages helt i informationssamfundet, så de er i stand til at udnytte de nye muligheder, det giver dem.
The development of small and mediumsized undertakings will also depend greatly on their ability to integrate with the information society and to exploit the new opportunities that are offered.
Hvad angår uddannelse, er det sandt, at de små og mellemstore virksomheder ikke investerer tilstrækkelige midler i uddannel
As regards training, it is true that small and mediumsized undertakings do not invest enough. Often, however, the
Plooij-Van Gorsel (ELDR). — (NL) Hr. formand, hr. kommissær, det glæder mig, at De igen er kommet for at fortælle, hvor vigtig Kommissionen mener udviklingen af små og mellemstore virksomheder er. Det mener vi nemlig også.
Papoutsis. — (EL) The honourable Member refers to the harmonization of taxation.
En ting forstår jeg ikke.
The Community does see this as an
om alle fællesskabsprogrammer og de procedurer, der kræves, for at de kan deltage i disse.
the Community programmes and the procedures for participation in them.
Men det vigtigste mål vil altid være netop det, De også fremhævede, og som vi alle stræber efter: flere arbejdspladser.
Nevertheless, the basic objective will be precisely that which you yourself have pointed to and which we are all seeking to achieve: namely the generation of more jobs.
Peijs (PPE). - (NL) Hr. formand, GD23, hr. Papoutsis og ganske mange medlemmer af Parlamentet har i årevis forsøgt at hjælpe små og mellemstore virksomheder med at blive stillet tilfreds også på europæisk plan. Men hvad de har stort besvær med er, at for eksempel alle programmer, som henvender sig til små og mellemstore virksomheder, hører hjemme i forskellige generaldirektorater.
Peijs (PPE). - (NL) Mr President, DG XXIII, Commissioner Papoutsis and many Members of this House have been trying for years to help small and mediumsized firms to find their feet in Europe.
Der er en skov af programmer, en skov af' generaldirektorater set med en SMV-ejers øjne.
There is a bewildering array of programmes and DGs, if you imagine how they look through the eyes of a small firm.
Det, jeg gerne vil foreslå, er: Kommissionen opretter en klageskranke, hvor folk kan henvende sig og hurtigt få svar, og ikke et svar som: Jeg har modtaget Deres brev, men et rigtigt svar.
What I would like to propose is that the Commission should set up a complaints body to which people can apply and which will quickly give them an answer, not a 'thank you for your letter' reply, but a genuine answer.
For det andet, indret et eller andet sted en skranke, hvor der kan gives oplysninger om alle programmer for små og mellemstore virksomheder.
Secondly, it should set up an office which can provide information on all the programmes for small and mediumsized firms.
Elliott (PSE). — (EN) Jeg vil gerne spørge kommissæren, om Kommissionen i betragtning af, at kooperative virksomheder i en række lande har klaret sig ganske godt — ofte bedre end andre virksomheder — vil sikre, at der vil blive givet mindst lige så gode muligheder for at starte nye kooperative virksomheder?
Elliott (PSE). — I should like to ask the Commissioner, given that cooperative enterprises in a number of countries have a very good track record — often better than non-cooperative enterprises, whether the Commission is going to ensure that the initiation of new cooperative enterprises will get at least an equivalent share of opportunity?
Ligeledes om han også kan se særlig velvilligt på erhvervsmuligheder, der involverer unge fra etniske mindretal, i betragtning af, at arbejdsløsheden blandt disse unge i nogle af vore lande er usædvanlig høj?
Also, given the exceptionally high rates of unemployment amongst young people from ethnic minority communities in some of our countries, if business opportunities involving young people from these minority communities will also be given very favourable consideration?
Så har jeg en bemærkning til.
I have one further comment.
Kommissæren sagde, at med lemsstaterne efterhånden skulle begynde at stimulere de små og mellemstore virksomheder til at deltage i beslutningsprocessen.
The Commissioner said that the Member States must gradually encourage SMEs to take part in the decision-making process.
Det er op til Kommissionen.
This is something which the Commission should also do.
De små og mellemstore virksomheder skal nu reelt have pladser i alle programmer og for eksempel i den sociale dialog.
Small and mediumsized firms should now be given a genuine voice in all relevant programmes and in the social dialogue.
Papoutsis. — (EL) Jeg deler helt det ærede medlems bekymring.
Papoutsis. — (EL) I share the honourable Member's concern.
Faktisk er det præcis sådan, det forholder sig.
The situation is precisely as she has described it.
Der gøres et meget stort arbejde for at koordinere de politikker, der vedrører de små og mellemstore virksomheder.
A great deal of effort is being put into coordinating the policies on small and mediumsized undertakings.
Parlamentets hjælp kom særdeles klart til udtryk i forbindelse med budgettet for 1996.
For the time being the Commission is endeavouring to support cooperative actions at the national level in the framework of its pilot programme initiatives, with, of course, the assistance of the European Parliament, assist ance which was very clearly registered in the 1996 budgetary framework and for which I would like to use this opportunity to express gratitude.
Jeg må dog understrege den positive erfaring og de gode resultater, vi har haft med samarbejdet internt i Kommissionen om udarbejdelsen af forslaget om pakken af ny generationspolitikker for de små og mellemstore virksomheder.
However. I must stress that our cooperation within the Commission on the preparation of the proposal for the batch of new generation policies for small and mediumsized undertakings has been a positive experience and borne good results.
Hvad angår hensyntagen til unge fra minoriteter i medlemslandene, opmuntrer Kommissionen disse bestræbelser og tilskynder medlemsstaterne til at inddrage unge fra forskellige minoritetsgrupper i deres programmer.
As far as the creation of opportunities for young people from the minorities in the various countries is concerned, the Commission encourages such efforts and is encouraging the Member States to cater for young people from the various minorities in their programmes.
Vi har samarbejdet i ti generaldirektorater inden for Kommissionen.
At the Commission ten directorates general have worked together.
Ti kommissærer har på en eller anden måde været involveret i politikken for de små og mellemstore virksomheder, og vi havde rige muligheder for at koordinere disse ti generaldirektoraters aktiviteter i det pågældende tidsrum.
In one way or another ten commissioners have had an involvement with the policies for small and mediumsized undertakings, and the experience of coordinating the activity of the directorates general over this period has been a stimulating one for us.
Resultatet af denne indsats, den hovedkonklusion, som Kom missionen har kunnet uddrage, er det. som De også sagde: at det er nødvendigt med mere samordning, mere gennemsigtighed hvad angår de forskellige fællesskabsprogrammer og de små og mellemstore virksomheders muligheder for at deltage i disse, og naturligvis kræves også en mere rationel forvaltning af de midler, der vedrører de små og mellemstore virksomheder. der.
The central conclusion that we have arrived at after all this effort is precisely the one that you yourself have pointed to: that in order to enhance the ability of small and mediumsized undertakings to participate in the various Community programmes there must be better coordination and greater transparency, plus, of course, greater streamlining in the management of the resources allocated for these undertakings.
Hautala (V). — (FI) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne spørge kommissæren om følgende.
Hautala (V). — (FI) Mr President, I would like to ask the Commissioner the following question.
Den Europæiske Union har jo mange støtteprogrammer, som de små og mellemstore virksomheder kan drage fordel af, men procedurerne for ansøgning om støtte er ofte utrolig besværlige og indviklede, og borgerne er bange for disse skemaer.
The European Union has many useful aid programmes which small and mediumsized undertakings may benefit from, but the procedures and the means of obtaining this aid are often extraordinarily cumbersome and complicated and people are intimidated by the forms.
Har Kommissionen overvejet at effektivisere informationstjenesterne i medlemslandene således, at man eksempelvis kan få praktisk rådgivning hos Kommissionens repræsentationer bl.a. i form af vejledninger, som kan give repræsentanterne for de små og mellemstore virksomheder helt konkrete oplysninger om, hvordan de kan opnå støtte fra Den Europæiske Union?
Has the Commission thought of making its advice services in the Member States more efficient so that for example it would be possible to obtain from Commission offices practical information such as guides to enable representatives of small and mediumsized undertakings to obtain concrete information on how to benefit from EU support for their activities?
Jeg håber, at vi efter mødet i Madrid vil få mulighed for at føre en mere sammenhængende politik for de små og mellemstore virksomheder og de forskellige kategorier af små og mellem store virksomheder.
I hope that immediately after Madrid we will be able to embark on framing a policy for small and mediumsized undertakings and for the various categories of those undertakings that will be more cohesive.
Og til dette formål håber vi på Deres hjælp, på Europa-Parlamentets hjælp.
We hope that we shall have your help, the help of the European Parliament, in that endeavour.
Papoutsis. — (EL) De har helt ret med hensyn til den problematik, De beskriver.
Papoutsis. — (EL) Your thinking is absolutely correct.
Dette er netop problemet, og de små og mellemstore virksomheder har svært ved at skaffe sig adgang til informationer både på nationalt plan og vedrørende fællesskabsprogrammer.
That is precisely where the problems lie: small and mediumsized businesses do have difficulty accessing information at the national level and about the Community programmes.
Tænker De her også på det store potentiale, som ubestridt ligger hos kvinder ne, og findes bestræbelserne på main streaming også på det område, hvor De har ansvaret?
Are you also thinking of the great potential that, without doubt, is to be found among women, and are there also any attempts at mainstreaming in the area for which you are responsible?
Har kommissærgruppen for ligestilling, hvori hr. Santer er formand, behandlet spørgsmålet?
Has the cross-party group on equality in the Commission, headed by President Santer, considered this question?
Hvordan kan De i sidste instans sikre, at kvinder virkelig inddrages rimeligt, dvs. paritetisk, i programmerne?
In the end, how can you ensure that women really do have an adequate, i.e. equal say, in the programmes?
Der er to ting, som Kommissionen vil foreslå, så at sige: for det første en lovmæssig og administrativ forenkling og for det andet en styrkelse af informationscentrene såvel på nationalt som på europæisk plan.
One can say that the Commission is making two recommen dations: firstly, on the need for legislative and administrative simplification and, secondly, with regard to the strengthening of central information provision at both national and Community level.
Derfor foreslår vi på nationalt plan en »one stop shop«, dvs. et center, der giver oplysninger både om finansieringsmuligheder for de små og mellemstore virksomheder og om administrative og afgiftsmæssige forpligtelser.
For this purpose we are proposing the establishment of one-stop shops at national level; that is to say, centres which will provide information about the finance options open to small and mediumsized undertakings and about their administrative and taxation obligations.
Samtidig udvider og styrker vi Euro-infocenternettets funktion, som De kender, til alle landene, og vi vil forsøge at gøre Euro-infocentrene til en »one stop shop« på europæisk plan. hvor de små og mellemstore virksomheder kan få oplysninger
At the same time we are strengthening the Euro-Infocentre network and, as you know, extending it to all of the countries, and in the European context we shall be trying to place these centres on the same type of footing as the one-stop shops so as to enable small and mediumsized undertakings to obtain information about all of
Papoutsis. — (EL) Hr. formand, jeg vil bruge et kort øjeblik på at besvare fr. Peijs andet spørgsmål, som jeg ikke svarede på før, vedrørende de små og mellemstore virksomheders deltagelse i beslutningsprocesserne.
Papoutsis. — (EL) Mr President, I will use just a few seconds of my time to reply to Mrs Peijs's second question, to which I neglected to give a reply, concerning the participation of small and mediumsized undertakings in the decision-taking procedures. cedures.
Hvad angår rentetilskuddet, forsøger vi at forbedre dette ved at udnytte de garantier, der gives via Den Europæiske Investe­ringsbank.
Papoutsis those taking part on the problems that exist between the banking system and these undertakings. We are already promoting joint actions in connection with some of the difficulties that we identified.
Kommissionen har i den sidste tid gjort alt. hvad den kunne, for at styrke de små og mellemstore virksomheders repræsen­tanters deltagelse i alle Kommissionens rådgivende udvalg, og deres deltagelse er klart større nu i forhold til tidligere.
Over the last year the Commission has done its utmost to upgrade the participation of representatives of the SMEs in all of its consultative committees, and the level of their participation is definitely higher now than it was previously.
Alligevel er vi ikke tilfredse og vil derfor fremover sikre de små og mellemstore virksomheders endnu større og endnu mere gyldige og officielle deltagelse.
But we are not completely satisfied as yet and will be striving to improve their participation even more, and to make it more authentic, more official.
Hvad angår Deres spørgsmål om kvinder, må jeg erkende, at De her berører et meget følsomt og særdeles vigtigt spørgsmål.
We have already held a forum in Barcelona on this matter and have focused our efforts on the areas in which we can offer support to women in order to enable them to participate more effectively in the running of small and mediumsized under takings.
Men samtidig med. at jeg udarbejdede denne betænkning, offentliggjorde jeg en lille bog med titlen True Stories from the Single Market, med eksempler på små virksomheder, for hvem det indre marked ikke virker.
I published a booklet called True Stories from the Single Market, with examples of small businesses for whom the single market is not working.
