Komisjoni aruande sisu kohta
On the content of the Commission report
13. hindab olulist rolli, mida kaubanduskodade rahvusvaheline koostöö võib etendada väikeste ettevõtete konkurentsivõime parandamisel, eelkõige ajal, kui globaliseerumise tõttu muutub üha rohkem ettevõtteid, ühinenud ettevõtteid ja kartelle rahvusvaheliseks;
Appreciates the very important role that international collaboration between Chambers of Commerce can play in improving the competitiveness of small enterprises, particularly at a time in which globalisation leads to more and more enterprises, concentrations and cartels expanding internationally;
17. tuletab meelde, et väikesed ja käsitööettevõtted on tehnoloogilise innovatsiooni asendamatud allikad; nõuab, et CIP ning teadus- ja innovatsiooniprogrammid ning regionaalpoliitika hõlbustaksid innovatsiooni arengut ning toetaksid kõnealuste ettevõtete algatusi; rõhutab, et innovatsioon ei tohiks piirduda tehnoloogiaga, vaid peaks puudutama ka väikeste ja käsitööettevõtete tegevusalade ja teenuste ajakohastamist, sealhulgas ajakohastamist sotsiaalsetel ning töökohtade loomise eesmärkidel;
Notes that small and craft enterprises are an irreplaceable source of technological innovation; requests that CIP and research and innovation programmes, as well as regional policy, should facilitate the development of such innovation and support the initiatives taken by these enterprises; stresses that innovation should not be confined to technology, but that it also concerns the modernisation of the activities and services of small and craft enterprises, including modernisation for social and job creation purposes;
22. usub, et tuleks lihtsustada väikeste ettevõtete asutamise ja arendamisega seotud maksu- ja haldussüsteeme, kõrvaldada maksutõkked kõikidelt piiriülese majandustegevuse vormidelt (nt ühise käibemaksusüsteemi abil) ning jätkata kahjuliku maksukonkurentsi näol esineva ebaseadusliku riigiabi vastast võitlust; toetab eriti komisjoni ettepanekut katsekava kohta, mis käsitleb väikeste ettevõtete maksustamist selles riigis, kus nad on asutatud, mis pakub lühiajalise lahenduse väikeettevõtete jaoks ja täiendab põhimeedet ehk ettevõtete ühist konsolideeritud tulumaksubaasi (CCTB); nõuab tungivalt, et liikmesriigid korraldaksid ümber väikeste ettevõtete asutamise ja arendamisega seotud maksusüsteemid ja lihtsustaksid neid, et teha soodustusi uuenduslikele ettevõtetele ja kaotada maksusüsteemist tingitud takistused omakapitalist finantseerimiseks;
Believes that tax and administration systems relating to the creation and the development of small businesses should be simplified, that tax obstacles to all forms of cross-border economic activity should be eliminated, as for instance through a common system of value added tax, and that the fight against illegal state aid in the form of harmful tax competition should continue; supports in particular the Commission proposal for the Pilot Scheme for Home State Taxation for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises providing a short-term solution for small businesses and supplementing the principal measure in the form of the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CCTB); urges Member States to reform and simplify their tax systems relating to the creation and the development of small businesses, to give incentives for innovative companies and to abolish disadvantages created by tax systems for equity financing;
26. usub, et võrdse mänguruumi tagamiseks VKEdele peab komisjon tagama, et kõiki õigusakte rakendatakse liikmesriikides võrdselt ning et täitmatajätmise korral kohaldatakse kiireid rikkumismenetlusi;

32. on arvamusel, et hartasse tuleb sisse viia lisaprioriteedid nagu ettevõtluse kui ühiskonna tõelise väärtuse edendamine, ettevõtete pankrotiga kaasneva häbimärgistamise arvestatav vähendamine, tõhustatud koostöö väikeste ettevõtete, haridus- ja teadusasutuste vahel, intensiivse koostöö toetamine nimetatud tegutsejate, finantsasutuste ja kapitaliturgude vahel;

Calls on the professional organisations of small businesses to deliver an opinion on the Charter’s implementation at both national and European level; would like to see them more closely involved, both during the framing of policies and in all the decisions taken at Community level regarding small enterprises, by setting up standing working tables for this purpose; calls on the States and the Commission to ensure full and independent participation by the organisations representing all these enterprises in the European social dialogue as a whole; points out that through the Charter the Commission, in cooperation with the Member States, could put together data on small and micro-businesses with particular reference to the needs of small businesses, including data on the productivity and efficiency of micro-businesses compared with medium-sized businesses, so as to make Community legislation more responsive to their requirements and better adapt its actions, programmes and policies, including through the identification of indicators to assess the impact on business activity;
42. peab tõhusama innovatsiooni ja konkurentsivõime pärast vajalikuks suurendada üleeuroopaliste võrkude panust tehnoloogia ja uute ideede levitamisse väikeste ettevõtete seas ning julgustada töötajate liikuvust väikeste ettevõtete ning kõrgharidus- ja teadusasutuste vahel; peab samuti vajalikuks arendada enam sihtsuunitlusega uurimisprogramme, mis keskenduks väikeste ettevõtete teadmiste ja tehnoloogia ärilisele kohaldamisele;
Considers it necessary, for the sake of enhanced innovation and competitiveness, to increase the contribution of trans-European networks to disseminating technology and new ideas among small businesses and to encourage staff mobility between small enterprises and higher education and research institutions; also considers it necessary to develop more targeted research programmes focused on the commercial application of knowledge and technology by small enterprises;
45. rõhutab vajadust ulatuslike struktuurireformide kiirendamiseks igas liikmesriigis, et parandada väikeste ettevõtete konkurentsivõimet, luua soodsad tingimused ettevõtetele ja eriti väikestele ettevõtetele ning viia lõpule täielikult toimiva siseturu loomine;
Underlines the need to accelerate far-reaching structural reforms in each Member State in order to strengthen small enterprises' competitiveness, create favourable conditions for businesses, especially small businesses, and complete the creation of a fully-functioning internal market;
Harta tuleviku kohta
On the Charter’s future
51. õnnitleb uusi liikmesriike, et need on üksteiselt õppinud ning saavad esimesi tulemusi harta rakendamisel, ehkki areneda tuleb veelgi; juhib tähelepanu eriti olulisele rollile, mida VKEd etendavad uutes liikmesriikides, eelkõige nendes, kus on käimas olulised institutsioonilised ja majanduslikud muutused;
Congratulates the new Member States for being active in learning from others and early results in implementing the Charter though further developments have to be made; draws attention to the particularly important role played by SMEs in the new Member States, especially in those in which significant institutional and political changes are in progress;
53. leiab, et kui see ka võimaldaks nende kahe instrumendi järelevalvet ratsionaliseerida, pole siiski vastuvõetav, et harta rakendamine muutuks lihtsalt tegevuskava alarubriigiks;
Considers that while this would make it possible to rationalise follow-up action for the two instruments, it is not acceptable for implementation of the Charter to become merely a subheading of the Action Plan;
- väikese ja mikroettevõtete osatähtsuse säilitamine hartas koos neile ettevõtetele suunatud eriliste tegevustega;
– retaining the small and micro-businesses dimension of the Charter, with actions specifically intended for them;
- erilise seire- ja hindamismehhanismi rajamine kandidaatriikide ja assotsieerunud riikide jaoks, kes ei kuulu tegevuskavasse;
– setting up a specific follow-up and evaluation mechanism for the candidate countries and associated states that are not party to the Action Plan;
- võetakse arvesse kutseorganisatsioonide osalust, kellel on harta rakendamise juures tähtsam roll kui tegevuskava juures;
– taking account of the participation of the professional organisations, which have a more important role in implementing the Charter than in the Action Plan;
- hartale alla kirjutanud riikide vahelise parimate tavade levitamise ja vahetamise jätkamine;
– maintaining the dissemination of best practices and exchanges between the Charter’s signatory states;
59. kutsub komisjoni, nõukogu ja liikmesriike üles tagama, et Euroopa väikeettevõtluse harta aastaaruanne jääks peamiseks vahendiks ettevõtluse valdkonna arengu jälgimise alal;
Calls on the Commission, the Council and Member States to ensure that the annual report on the European Charter for Small Enterprises remains the key instrument for monitoring the development in the field of entrepreneurship;
Small enterprises employ up to 50 people.
