Blokland (EDN). - (NL) Hr. formand, de små og mellem store virksomheder har i den senere tid kunnet glæde sig over stor interesse fra Den Europæiske Unions side.
Blokland (EDN). - (NL) Mr President, in recent times small and mediumsized enterprises have enjoyed considerable importance within the European Union.
Der ser ud til at denne erhvervsgruppe sidder inde med enorme latente muligheder for vækst i beskæftigelsen.
This group of businesses seems to offer enormous latent growth potential where employment is concerned.
Grunde nok til seriøst at undersøge det nærmere.
This is reason enough to take a serious look at this sector.
De afgørende ord i forbindelse med denne politik er deregulering, forbedring af virksomhedsklimaet samt videre adgang til kapital.
In these conditions, how are we to compete with products made in countries where social protection is non-existent; how are we to combat social and fiscal dumping?
Kommissionens meddelelse er en nyttig opsummering af mulige fiskale forbedringer.
In France, this year, the revenue from the business tax alone has amounted to FF 123 billion, i.e. 9 % more than in 1993.
Thysssen-betænkningen gør et par punkter endnu skarpere. re.
Where is the enterprise, especially in the SME sector, that is able to increase its profits by 9 % under a socialist-type government?
Rent generelt er jeg ganske enig med ordføreren, men på to områder har jeg et par kritiske bemærkninger.
Generally speaking, I agree entirely with the rapporteur, but I do have some critical comments to make on two aspects.
I de første punkter drejer det sig om de indirekte skatter.
In the first few paragraphs, the reports deals with indirect taxation.
På det fiskale område har Unionen kun begrænset ansvar, efter min opfattelse med rette. Beskatningen har ofte
The Union has only limited responsibility in the tax sector, and rightly so in my view.
Hvordan skal kan man på sådanne præmisser kunne tage kampen op imod produkter, som fremstilles i lande, der ikke kender til social beskyttelse, hvordan skal man kunne tage kampen op imod social og fiskal dumping?
I also have doubts about paragraph 21, where we call for consideration to be given to making a company's permanent establishments in other Member States subject to taxation in the Member State of origin.
Som udviklingen går, vil mange franske virksomheder snart kun være en saga blot.
I believe that this would make arrangements for the tax inspectorate to carry out checks far more difficult. As far as I am
I Frankrig har erhvervsskatten i år alene indbragt 123 milliarder francs, en stigning på 9% i forhold til 1993.
Indeed, bureaucracy had led to the proliferation of unproductive jobs and to a dangerous increase in SME produc tion costs.
Jeg gad nok se den virksomhed, navnlig i SMV-sektoren, som under en socialistvenlig regering kan øge sin fortjeneste med 9%.
Let us abolish senseless taxes! Let us dismantle bureaucracy both in European and national institutions!
Når det tilføjes,
In a word, let our enterprises breathe again!
Byrden af de direkte skatter bekymrer altså Kommissionen.
As regards the question of succession, the Commission's recommendations are rather timid.
Kommissionens meddelelse gør også opmærksom på den komplicerede administration, »papirnusseriet«.
For a long time now the National Front in France has been advocating the duty-free transfer of enterprises as long as they remain in the family.
Ja, lad os få luget ud! renset ud!
A sensible step at last!
30% af alle arbejdspladser i Unionen findes i enmandsvirksomhederne eller mikrovirksomheder med mindre end 10 ansatte.
The Commission is also surprised at the difficulties enterprises have in obtaining finance.
Yderligere 55% af beskæftigelsen findes inden for små virksomheder med færre end 100 ansatte.
When a State like mine has debts running to more than FF 2 000 billion, capital is, ipso facto, hard to come by, all the more so as unproductive financial investments yield much more than real investments which, as we all know, create jobs for the future.
Disse tal stammer fra 1994-rapporten om Beskæftigelse i Europa.
Some SMEs can finance investment out of their own net profits.
Den selvstændige har større risiko end lønmodtageren for at havne under fattigdomsgrænsen.
Others can try to seek financing through the banks.
Fællesskabet må handle hurtigt for at bevare dynamikken inden for SMV og sikre arbejdspladser, og her er fællesskabsinitiativet vedrørende SMV et skridt i den rigtige retning, men det økonomiske grundlag for den fremtrædende rolle, det spiller for økonomisk vækst og jobskabelse, er alt for ringe.
But this is not the only option and I am particularly interested in the Commission's plans to hold detailed discussions this autumn with the Member States on venture capital.
Alle SMV har de samme problemer, som drejer sig om adgang til finansiering, forbedring af relationer til finansieringsinstitutter, det indviklede administrative og lovmæssige miljø, virksom hedsledelse og udvikling af strategier.
When equity financing is hard to obtain, venture capital can provide an alternative means of securing external financial resources.
På arveafgiftsområdet går Kommissionens forslag ikke synderlig vidt.
It is risk finance, but when it pays off, as in the case of Silicon Valley in the United States, its benefits can be enormous.
Front national i Frankrig foreslog for længst, at virksomheder skulle kunne overdrages uden betaling af afgifter, så længe virksomheden forbliver på familiens hænder. Dette ville være en fornuftig foran staltning.
We need to look carefully at the special instruments for venture capital operating in the Member States, particularly in those with the largest venture capital investments.
Nogle SMV er i stand til at finansiere investeringer med deres eget nettoudbytte.
In 1992 the UK and France invested almost ECU 300 million on venture capital, compared with only ECU 26 million in my own country.
Andre kan prøve at søge finansiering via bankerne.
We need to consider in detail the possibility of having access to international venture funds.
Men det er ikke den eneste mulig hed, og jeg er især interesseret i Kommissionens planer om i løbet af efteråret at indlede en grundig debat med medlemsstaterne om venture-kapital. Når egenkapital er svær at skaffe, kan venture-kapital være et alternativt middel til at sikre eksterne finansieringskilder.
The fact that there are no practical structures in some Member States for international funds creates a major obstacle to cross-border investment and venture capital funds.
Vi må se grundigt på de særlige instrumenter for venture-kapital, der findes i medlems staterne, navnlig dem med de største investeringer af venture-kapital.
The creation of a suitable structure could lend to capital inflow by venture capital invest ments within the Community and from third countries, to the benefit of growth and employment.
Igen taler jeg ud af erfaring.
Once again, I speak from experience.
Erhvervslivets værste fjende, navnlig i Frankrig, er skatteinkvisitionen med sine horder af venstreorienterede kontrollanter og inspektører, der alene er uddannet med henblik på at afstraffe de små virksomhedsejere, som imidlertid er de eneste, der skaber arbejdspladser, de eneste, der tager risici, de eneste, der sætter deres personlige formue på spil.
The worst enemy of the entrepreneur, particularly in France, is the fiscal inquisition, with its hordes of leftist controllers and inspectors trained only to penalize small businessmen, even though they are the only ones who create jobs, take risks and put their personal assets on the line.
Jeg husker en berømt sag, hvor en skatteinspektør havde pålagt en virksomhed en skattemæssig efterregning på 35 millioner francs.
I remember a famous case where a tax inspector slapped a FF 35 million tax arrears bill on a particular enterprise.
Resten kan man gætte sig til: virksomheden trådte i likvidation og de ansatte blev afskediget.
You can guess the rest: the enterprise went into liquidation and the workers were laid off.
Nogle år senere, afsagde den franske forvaltningsdomstol en dom, hvormed den omstødte den skattemæssige efterregning og endog tilkendte virksomhedsejeren en skadeserstatning.
A few years later the State Council passed a decree rendering null and void the whole tax bill and even granting damages to the entrepreneur in question.
Men skaden var sket, og kunne ikke gøres god igen !
But by then the harm had already been done -irreparably.
Vi må nøje overveje muligheden af at give adgang til internationale venture-fonde.
The analysis is a good one and we shall vote in favour of the report because it is correct even if, I repeat, the Commission is not competent in matters of direct taxation.
Den kendsgerning, at der i visse medlemsstater ikke findes egentlige strukturer for internationale fonde lægger store hindringer i vejen for internationale investeringer og venture-kapitalfonde.
Billingham (PSE). - Mr President, these excellent reports are perfect in their timing for no single commercial debate is more topical or crucial than one which enhances the future of small and mediumsized enterprises right across Europe.
Hele skattespørgsmålet må straks gøres til genstand for en undersøgelse. Hvis der skabes en passende struktur, kunne det føre til en tilgang af kapital i form af venture kapitalinvesteringer inden for Fællesskabet og fra tredje lande til gavn for vækst og beskæftigelse.
The importance of those businesses can not be overestimated, nor overemphasized, accounting as they do for the creation of 75% of all new jobs.
Denne debat er et vigtigt skridt med hensyn til de tiltag, medlemsstaterne kan iværksætte for at forbedre det fiskale miljø for SMV.
My constituency of Northamptonshire and Blaby perfect ly demonstrates the key role of SMEs in our local economy.
Som konklusion, kære kolleger, må jeg sige, at jeg anerkender Kommissionens og ordførerens klarsynethed.
However, the considerable rate of failure among SMEs is a cause for serious concern throughout the Union.
Analysen er god og vi vil stemme for denne betænkning, fordi den er velbegrundet og selv om, som jeg allerede har påpeget, Kommissionen ikke har kompetence på området vedrørende de direkte skatter.
Positive actions are needed to ensure a better environment for survival and prosperity, and particularly to promote and sustain small businesses in the areas on both sides of the border in Ireland.
Billingham (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, disse fremragende betænkninger kommer på det helt rigtige tidspunkt, eftersom ingen debat om erhvervslivet er mere aktuel og vigtig end den, der forbedrer fremtiden for små og mellemstore virksomheder over hele Europa.
Over-bureaucracy is an absolute bugbear to them and we have a clear choice and a clear chance within the Union: we either continue to strangle them to death with red tape, or we free them by simplifying the procedures.
Disse virksomheders betydning kan hverken overvurderes eller fremhæves stærkt nok, eftersom det er dem, der skaber 75% af alle nye arbejdspladser.
The welcome proposal for an integrated programme would give access to funding at levels undreamed of in Britain, with the EIB and business innovation centres performing pivotal roles.
Gallagher (RDE). - (EN) Hr. formand, de små og mellemstore virksomheder og de helt små virksomheder udgør fundamentet for Fællesskabets økonomi.
But perhaps the one issue which fills my postbag and causes my phone to ring most frequently is the plea for help with late payment of bills.
Derfor vil jeg byde dette tiltag med betænkningerne om Kom missionens forslag til forbedring af SMV's fiskale miljø velkomment.
If the Commission can come up with an enforceable proposal to cure this problem, we should indeed be well on the way to success.
SMV spiller en vigtig rolle, da det er her, mange unge får deres første job, ligesom de får et stort antal kvinder og ufaglært arbejdskraft ind på arbejdsmarkedet. kedet.
SMEs are the pillars of local economies and they give us the framework for the future prosperity of Europe: they are versatile, responsive and uniquely adaptable.
Mens vore tidligere hovedindustrier inden for stål- og fodtøjsbranchen har oplevet en drastisk nedgang,
The Community initiative on SMEs is a move in the right direction but its pre-eminent role in economic growth and job creation it is badly underfunded.
Billingham samme kan man sikkert sige i alle Fællesskabets øvrige lande.
One more job in each of those and we would indeed be achieving an absolutely splendid objective.
hører de nye industrier, der nu overtager deres plads, hovedsagelig til SMV.
Cassidy (PPE). - Mr President, I would like to congratulate the previous speaker on her remarks, many of which I would have no difficulty at all in echoing myself.
Det er virksomheder som dem, der er vejen frem, og disse meddelelser giver os en enestående lejlighed til at hjælpe dem til vækst og fremgang.
Indeed, I want to develop one of the themes that she touched upon in the early part of her remarks and that is the burden of red tape on small and mediumsized companies.
Det overdrevne bureaukrati er det store spøgelse i denne sag, og vi står her i Unionen med et klart valg og en stor chance: Enten fortsætter vi kvælningen af disse virksom heder, til bureaukratiet har taget livet af dem, eller vi løsner grebet med en forenkling af procedurerne.
where the global problems facing SMEs are taken into account. I believe that the debate is symbolic in this respect because, in the process of completing the Single Market, there is one matter still to be resolved: fiscal harmonisation within the Community, in relation to both direct and indirect taxation.
Det er nødvendigt, at Kommissionen som led i dereguleringsanstrengelserne gennemfører en grundig undersø gelse.
While the cases of tax dumping in the Community probably do not affect SMEs much - at least I hope not - I think it is important to clarify this matter.
Det med glæde hilste forslag til et integreret program ville give adgang til finansieringsmuligheder af et hidtil uset omfang i Storbritannien med EIB og virksomhedsinnovationscentre i en central rolle.
I always thought that this was a particularly critical problem in the United Kingdom until I began to compare notes with colleagues from other Member States and I discovered that the problem is just as grave there.
Men det, der først og fremmest præger de breve og telefonopringninger, jeg modtager, er en bøn om hjælp i forbindelse med forsinkede betalinger af regninger.
In the United Kingdom there is a distressing habit for the British civil service to add on obligations to European Community directives which weigh most heavily on small and mediumsized enter prises.
Hvis Kommissionen kan komme med et realistisk forslag til løsning af dette problem, vil det være et stort skridt i den rigtige retning.
Our Prime Minister has identified this and he refers to it as the habit of the British civil service in 'gold-plating' European Community directives.
Jové Peres (GUE). - (ES) Hr. formand, vi kan formodentlig alle blive enige om SMV's betydning, om den alvorlige situation, disse virksomheder befinder sig i, og om nødvendigheden af at finde løsninger herpå.
Second, we are going through a period of economic recovery and we must do everything we can to provide financial support mechanisms to SMEs.
Hr. Harrisons og fru Thyssens betænkninger er interessante, fordi de indeholder en række konkrete ideer og initiativer, der sandsynligvis vil vise sig at være yderst hensigtsmæssige.
As stated in Mrs Thyssen's report, we all know that banks are not usually very generous with SMEs - the latter must pay higher interest rates than large companies, they are not granted credit precisely because their projects are creative and very stringent guarantees are required - and we are all aware of the budgetary difficulties being suffered by many countries in attempting to meet the convergence criteria.
I det følgende fremsætter jeg et par overordnede betragtninger på grundlag af de to betænkninger.
Hence the vital importance of the proposal made in the White Paper concerning the European Investment Fund, which should be substantially increased.
SMV er grundpillerne i de lokale økonomier, og med deres alsidighed, fleksibilitet og enestående tilpasningsevne udgør de rammen om Europas fremtidige velstand.
However, the problem is not confined to national administrations, it is made worse at the local level.
Lyndon Harrison har allerede mindet os om det - men det er alligevel værd at gentage: Det er måske en lidt for forenklet sammenligning, men ikke desto mindre en kendsgerning, at der for tiden er 15 millioner arbejdsløse og 15 millioner SMV.
Certainly in my country we discover that all too often a small company is visited by a representative of the local authority who says: You cannot do that because Brussels has a rule which says you cannot.
En enkelt arbejdsplads på hver af disse, og vi ville nå et prægtigt mål.
We look into it and we discover that Brussels has passed no such rule.
Cassidy (PPE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne takke den foregående taler for hendes bemærkninger, som jeg for en stor dels vedkommende sagtens kan tilslutte mig.
Quite often we find that the national administration has passed no such rule and it all arises from the officiousness and over-zealousness of quite low officials at local authority level.
Jeg vil gerne komme nærmere ind på et af de spørgsmål, hun berørte i begyndelsen af sin tale, nemlig de bureau kratiske byrder, der lægges på de små og mellemstore virksomheders skuldre.
We express this in the United Kingdom by saying that burdens on small and mediumsized enterprises are imposed by Whitehall, County Hall and Town Hall. That phrase could, I am sure, be translated into all the other working languages of the Community.
I fru Thyssens betænkning anføres det, at skatteforholdene har stor indflydelse på investeringsklimaet, væksten og beskæftigelsen i SMV, men det bemærkes endvidere, at foranstaltningerne kun vil have den fulde effekt, hvis de indgår som led i en bredere politik.
Ewing (ARE). - Mr President, I would like to support the two rapporteurs in what has been said in this debate.
Denne debat har efter min mening fat i problemets kerne, for så vidt som der i forbindelse med det indre markeds udvikling er et uløst problem, nemlig gennemførelsen af en skattemæssig harmonisering, ikke alene af de indirekte, men også af de direkte skatter.
I come from a peripheral area and I am aware of the problems of all the peripheral areas of the Community.
Det er derfor af største vigtighed at fremme foranstaltninger til gennemførelse af en skattemæssig harmonisering på fællesskabsplan.
One wonders how many ideas which could be a powerhouse for bigger enterprises do not get started because of the failure of access to finance.
Jeg tilslutter mig det flertal blandt talerne, der gør opmærksom på, at anvendelsen af reglen om enstemmighed i Rådet vanskeliggør det indre markeds fremgang på det skattemæssige område.
There was a very good scheme where by the EIB helped by putting a blanket over banks in Member States.
Efter min mening bør bestemmelsen om enstemmighed i Rådet ophæves.
That worked very well to my knowledge but it was withdrawn in the UK.
Jeg har altid troet, at dette var et særligt stort problem i Det Forenede Kongerige, indtil jeg begyndte at udveksle erfaringer med kolleger fra andre medlemsstater og opdagede, at problemet er lige så alvorligt der. Jeg vil komme med et par eksempler, der illustrerer dette »europroblem«.
We need the Commission to carry out a detailed study as part of its deregulation exercise. We need it to carry out a study into how many extra burdens are imposed on small and mediumsized enterprises in our Member States by the tendency of local and national administrations to add on in areas like health and safety, in things like the environment, in things like employment because the small and mediumsized enterprises, as the previous speaker pointed out, are the engines of employment and the engines of the prosperity on which the European Community's future depends.
I Det Forenede Kongerige er det blevet en kedelig vane hos statsadministrationen, at den tilføjer ekstra forpligtelser til fællesskabsdirektiverne, forpligtelser, som især belaster små og mellemstore virksomheder. Vor premierminister har bemærket dette og kalder det den britiske statsadministrations vane med at »forgylde« EF-direktiver.
Mr Cassidy talked about red tape. What I have often found with regard to bureaucracy is that the UK enforces regulations straight away even when there is a transition period to let small businesses adjust to new conditions.
Hvis vi ser nærmere på det, vil jeg tro, vi vil opdage, at de tyske, de franske og alle de øvrige myndigheder gør præcis det samme.
The VAT ceiling is also a question of great importance. It is too high in the UK and I think we could look at that throughout the whole Community.
Min anden kommentar skal ses på baggrund af, at vi befinder os i en periode med øget økonomisk aktivitet, og at det derfor er nødvendigt at gøre en indsats for at iværksætte/etablere finansieringsteknikker som støtte for SMV.
Problems are also caused by the fact that business rates in Scotland are one and a half times those in England.
I den forbindelse er det i hvidbogen indeholdte forslag om en væsentlig forhøjelse af Den Europæiske Investeringsfonds midler af allerstørste betydning.
If anyone can explain to me how that is fair in a single Community, I would like to know.
I mit land sker det alt for ofte, at en mindre virksomhed får besøg af en repræsentant for de lokale myndigheder, der siger: »Sådan kan du ikke gøre, for det er der en regel i Bruxelles, der siger, at du ikke må«.
The reports by Mr Harrison and Mrs Thyssen are very interesting; in my view, they are important because they put forward a series of ideas and very practical initiatives which could be extremely useful.
Når vi så undersøger det, opdager vi, at Bruxelles ikke har vedtaget en sådan regel.
I will now indicate some aspects of general concern based on both reports.
Ewing (ARE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne tilslutte mig de to ordføreres udtalelser i forbindelse med denne forhandling.
Speciale (PSE). - (IT) Mr President, I too should like to thank the rapporteurs for tackling two issues that are of importance to SMEs and the craft sector.
Jeg kommer fra et marginalområde og ken der problemerne i alle Fællesskabets marginalområder.
I would stress in particular the approach, to my mind correct and deserving of support, that has been adopted in the integrated
Der har været en vældig god ordning, hvor EIB hjalp ved at spænde et sikkerhedsnet ud under banker i medlemsstaterne.
We all know that we need to press on down the road to approximation and that harmonization is not quite round the corner.
Ord ningen fungerede fremragende, så vidt jeg ved, men blev afskaffet i Det Forenede Kongerige.
However, we should avoid here any suggestion of a contradiction between approximation and harmonization.
Jeg ved ikke, om den stadig findes i andre medlemsstater, men den fungerede, og vi burde genindføre den.
The call for minimum tax harmonization errs in this respect as there is no intermediate solution in this field: taxes are either harmonized or they are not.
Dette kvæler de mindre virksomheder og vi kan ikke længere acceptere dette.
This is something that is most important.
Jeg ved, at Kommissionen overvejer at udstede en retsakt, en henstilling, et direktiv; det er nødvendigt, at spørgsmålet straks gribes an.
In more general terms, I think we must give credit to the services concerned - DG XXIII, the Commissioner and the Commission as a whole - for having carried forward the work in favour of SMEs.
For det andet er det nødvendigt at etablere en differentieret definition på små og mellemstore virksom heder.
In a similar debate two or three years ago, only three or four of us would, I think, have spoken on SMEs, which goes to show how our commitment to small businesses has matured and grown into what is now virtually a strategy in their favour.
