Only 8% of European SMEs export and only 12% of the inputs of an average SME are purchased abroad.
Zgolj 8 % evropskih MSP izvaža in le 12 % vnosa povprečnega MSP kupijo v tujini.
Part of the problem for SMEs is information - knowing what opportunities are out there and what the rules are for cross-border business.
Del težave MSP so informacije – poznavanje priložnosti in pravil čezmejnega poslovanja.
Many SMEs also lack the capital needed for going abroad.
Veliko MSP prav tako nima dovolj osnovnih sredstev za poslovanje v tujini.
Therefore, SMEs need support and advice to be able to get the most out of the Single Market.
Zato potrebujejo MSP podporo in nasvete, da bi lahko čimbolj izkoristili prednosti enotnega trga.
Advantages of the Single Market
Prednosti enotnega trga
Single Market legislation is constantly being reviewed and updated to ensure that the market functions properly, and that businesses and citizens are able to benefit from agreed rules across Europe.
Zakonodaja enotnega trga se neprestano spreminja in prilagaja, da se zagotovi pravilno delovanje trga ter da lahko podjetja in državljani uživajo ugodnosti dogovorjenih pravil po vsej Evropi.
In November 2007, the Commission set out a package of initiatives to ensure that the Single Market does even more to take advantage of globalization, open up to small businesses, empower consumers and help to stimulate innovation.
Komisija je novembra 2007 pripravila sveženj pobud, da bi zagotovila še boljše izkoriščanje globalizacije na enotnem trgu, odpiranje tega malim podjetjem, dodeljevanje več pristojnosti potrošnikom in pomagala spodbujati inoviranje.
These initiatives build on past successes and follow on from wide consultations with citizens, businesses, public administrators, academics and representative organisations.
Te pobude so nastale na podlagi dosedanjih uspehov in obsežnih posvetovanj z državljani, podjetji, javno upravo ter akademskimi in predstavniškimi organizacijami.

Differing rules on private limited-liability companies in the Member States make it time-consuming and costly for SMEs to set up and operate abroad.
Zaradi različnih pravil glede zasebnih podjetij z omejeno odgovornostjo v državah članicah je zelo zamudno in drago, da bi MSP ustanovili podjetje in poslovali v tujini.
Therefore, the Commission is proposing a Statute for a European Private Company (“SPE”) that may be set up and then operate according to the same company law provisions throughout Europe.
Zato je Komisija predlagala statut za evropske zasebne družbe („SPE“), ki določa ustanavljanje in poslovanje družb ob upoštevanju enakih določb prava družb po vsej Evropi.
For instance, the existing minimum capital requirements for setting up a business would be removed and the rules concerning company registration and daytoday running of business simplified so that companies would need to spend less money on legal advice.
Na primer, obstoječe minimalne kapitalske zahteve za ustanovitev podjetja bi odstranili, pravila glede registracije podjetja in dnevnega poslovanja bi se poenostavila, kar bi podjetjem zmanjšalo stroške za pravne nasvete.
Also, the Commission will come forward with the necessary amending proposals to ensure that this new company form can benefit from the existing corporate tax directives.
Komisija bo prav tako predlagala potrebne spremembe, s katerimi bo zagotovila, da bo imela ta nova oblika podjetja koristi od obstoječih direktiv o davku na pravne osebe.
The Services Directive, which will come into force in 2010, will make it easier for businesses to provide services in other European countries.
Direktiva za storitve, ki bo začela veljati leta 2010, bo podjetjem olajšala zagotavljanje storitev v drugih evropskih državah.
It will cut down on the bureaucracy of selling services and hence encourage European businesses to go abroad.
Zmanjšala bo birokracijo prodajnih storitev in še naprej spodbujala poslovanje evropskih podjetij v tujini.
All Member States have to set up a contact point to assist businesses from other EU countries wanting too er their services.
Vse države članice morajo ustanoviti kontaktno točko za pomoč podjetjem iz drugih držav članic EU, ki želijo ponuditi svoje storitve v tujini.
For more information on Services Directive, see: http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/services/services-dir/index_en.htm

Public procurement accounts for around 16% of the EU’s GDP, but SMEs face problems accessing public tenders.
Javno naročanje znaša okoli 16 % BDP Evropske unije, toda MSP se še vedno soočajo s težavami, kadar želijo pristopiti k javnim razpisom.
A new code of best practice for public procurement will facilitate SMEs’ access to public procurement contracts.
Novi Kodeks najboljše prakse za javno naročanje bo olajšal dostop MSP do pogodb za javna naročila.
It offers solutions to difficulties faced by small companies by reducing the size of contracts, improving access to information about public contracts and how to bid (including online systems), reducing excessive financial requirements, and cutting the administrative burden and paperwork associated with tendering.
Omogoča reševanje težav, s katerimi se soočajo mala podjetja, in sicer tako da zmanjšuje velikost pogodb, izboljšuje dostop do informacij o javnih naročilih in o pripravi razpisov (vključno s spletnimi sistemi), zmanjšuje pretirano visoke finančne zahteve ter zmanjšuje upravne obremenitve in delo, ki je povezano z razpisnimi postopki.
Information on doing business in the other Member States
Informacije o poslovanju v drugih državah članicah
Language barriers, remaining legislative and regulatory differences, inadequate access to finance, and a lack of knowledge of other markets are, according to entrepreneurs, the main reasons why more SMEs do not expand their activities abroad.
Jezikovne ovire, obstoječe razlike v zakonodaji in ureditvi, neprimeren dostop do finančnih sredstev in pomanjkanje znanja o drugih trgih je po mnenju podjetnikov glavni razlog, zakaj več MSP ne razširi svoje dejavnosti v tujino. Komisija je vzpostavila široko mrežo za poslovno pomoč, da bi pomagala in svetovala evropskim MSP, kako premagati te težave.
Some 550 Enterprise Europe Network contact points, including chambers of commerce, regional development agencies and university technology centres have been set up in the EU and beyond. These help
V EU in državah izven nje je bilo ustanovljenih okoli 550 kontaktnih točk mreže Enterprise Europe Network, vključno z gospodarskimi zbornicami, regionalnimi razvojnimi agencijami in univerzitetnimi tehnološkimi centri.
Assisting SMEs to enforce their rights
Ti pomagajo MSP na področju javnega naročanja, financ, zakonodaje EU in programov financiranja EU.
The service is free of charge and the experts involved are committed to providing real and satisfactory solutions within a maximum of ten weeks. There is a SOLVIT centre in every EU Member State.
Ti centri vsako leto odgovorijo na sto tisoče zahtev po informacijah, nasvetih in pomoči.
Ensuring fair competition
Zagotavljanje poštene konkurence
A competitive and open Single Market provides the best guarantee for European SMEs which seek to increase their efficiency and innovative potential.
Konkurenčen in odprt enotni trg je najboljše zagotovilo za evropske MSP, ki želijo povečati svojo učinkovitost in inovacijski potencial.
The EU has therefore established a strong competition policy that protects SMEs against unfair practices by other enterprises.
EU je zato uveljavila močno politiko konkurence, ki MSP varuje pred nepoštenimi praksami drugih podjetij.
Whilst it will not relax its rigorous commitment to free competition in Europe, the Commission is updating the rules to encourage national and regional governments to re-channel public subsidies further.
Komisija je nepopustljiva glede uresničevanja svobodne konkurence v Evropi in posodablja zakone, da bi spodbudila nacionalne in regionalne vlade k nadaljnjemu zagotavljanju javne pomoči.
The aim is to continue reducing controversial and competition-distorting handouts to national champions, and instead support measures which really contribute to boosting growth and creating jobs.
Cilj je zmanjševanje spornega dodeljevanja nepovratnih sredstev„nacionalnim prvakom“, ki izkrivljajo konkurenco, in namesto tega podpiranje ukrepov, ki resnično prispevajo k povečanju rasti in ustvarjanju delovnih mest.
Because the greatest potential for new jobs and growth lies in Europe’s SMEs, smaller firms will be the first to benefit from this approach.
Ker evropski MSP pomenijo največji potencial za nova delovna mesta in rast, bodo zlasti manjša podjetja tista, ki bodo uživala ugodnosti tega pristopa.
Protecting against abuse by dominant firms
Zaščita pred zlorabo prevladujočih podjetij
One particular area on which the Commission focuses is preventing dominant firms from abusing their market power to stifle smaller competitors.
Posebno področje, na katerega se Komisija osredotoča, je preprečevanje zlorabe tržne moči prevladujočih podjetij nasproti manjšim konkurentom.
This kind of anticompetitive practice is forbidden under EU law.
Tovrstna protikonkurenčna praksa ni v skladu z zakonodajo EU in je prepovedana.
The Commission pays particular attention to complaints made by smaller businesses in this area.
Komisija posveča posebno pozornost pritožbam s strani manjših podjetij na tem področju.
Mergers that create or strengthen a dominant position are also prohibited, in order to safeguard a sufficiently high degree of competition.
Združitve, ki ustvarijo ali okrepijo prevladujoči položaj, so prav tako prepovedane, da bi se zaščitila dovolj visoka stopnja konkurenčnosti.
Only mergers exceeding certain thresholds have to be notified to the European Commission for clearance.
Evropski komisiji je treba predložiti v potrditev zgolj združitve, ki presegajo določeno mejo.
Therefore, mergers between SMEs are generally not subject to the EU procedures.
Iz tega razloga združitvam med MSP običajno ni treba skozi postopke EU.
Preventing price fixing
Preprečevanje določanja cen
Some agreements between large companies can also impair competition, to the detriment of smaller businesses.
Nekateri dogovori med večjimi podjetji lahko prav tako oslabijo konkurenco in škodujejo manjšim podjetjem. Najbolj znan primer je dogovor o cenah ali kartel, s čimer podjetja skupaj določijo ravni cen, tako da stranke ne morejo koristiti prednosti konkurence med dobavitelji, da bi dobile boljše cene.
Agreements between SMEs, on the other hand, are to a large extent exempted from the prohibitions set out by the EU treaties.
Po drugi strani pa so dogovori med MSP v veliki meri izvzeti iz prepovedi, ki jih določajo pogodbe EU.
“The state aid rules should help Member States get the best value for money for their taxpayers, and make sure that scarce state resources are used where they can have most impact.”
„Pravila glede državnih pomoči bi državam članicam morala pomagati dobiti ekonomsko najboljšo ponudbo za njihove davkoplačevalce in zagotoviti, da se skromna državna sredstva uporabijo tam, kjer bodo lahko imela največji učinek.“

Directing state aid towards real needs
Usmerjanje državne pomoči za resnične potrebe
The EU’s state aid policy has always treated SMEs favourably, recognizing the specific difficulties they encounter because of their size.
Politika državne pomoči EU je bila vedno naklonjena MSP ter jim priznavala težave, s katerimi so se spopadala zaradi svoje velikosti.
SMEs are allowed to benefit from higher proportions of state aid than larger firms in many areas (investment, training, R & D, environmental protection).
MSP lahko koristijo večje deleže državne pomoči kot velika podjetja, in sicer na veliko področjih (naložbe, usposabljanje, raziskovanje in razvoj, varstvo okolja).
They may also benefit from certain types of support aimed at addressing their specific needs (consultancy services, or their first participation in fairs for example).
Prav tako lahko koristijo določene oblike pomoči, ki ciljajo na njihove posebne potrebe (storitve svetovanja ali njihova prva udeležba na sejmih, na primer).
Member States can grant aid to SMEs without the need to notify the Commission, through the exemption regulations.
Države članice lahko dodelijo pomoč MSP, ne da bi o tem morale obvestiti Komisijo, in sicer na podlagi uredb o izjemah.
The Commission’s new State Aid Action Plan reinforces this approach.
Novi Akcijski načrt državnih pomoči Komisije spodbuja ta pristop.
First and foremost, the Commission’s leitmotiv is “less aid, but better targeted”.
Najbolj pomemben in vodilni motiv Komisije je „manj pomoči, toda bolje usmerjena“.
National and regional governments have to focus their financial interventions in the private sector on promoting jobs and growth.
Nacionalne in regionalne vlade morajo usmeriti svoje finančne pomoči v zasebne sektorje za spodbujanje zaposlovanja in rasti.
Since SMEs have a great role to play in employment and growth, public support targeted at addressing the market failures SMEs encounter is therefore considered to be a“better targeted”measure. measure.
Ker si morajo MSP za zaposlovanje in rast izredno prizadevati, se javna pomoč osredotoča na tržne nepopolnosti, na katere naletijo MSP, zaradi česar je„bolje usmerjen“ ukrep.
Rules adopted in 2006 on public supported capital investment schemes for SMEs allow investments of up to €1.5 million per SME over any 12-month period.
Pravila o sistemih za javno podprte naložbe v SME, ki so bila sprejeta leta 2006, dovoljujejo
Education and skills for entrepreneurship
Izobrazba in znanje za podjetništvo
Entrepreneurs – business-minded people who can take a good idea and turn it into a thriving business – are the key to a prosperous economy.
Podjetniki – poslovno usmerjeni ljudje, ki dobre zamisli spremenijo v uspešen posel – predstavljajo srce uspešnega gospodarstva.
They are also crucial for creating jobs and boosting the growth and competitiveness of Europe’s economy in the years to come.
Prav tako so ključnega pomena za ustvarjanje delovnih mest in povečanje rasti ter konkurenčnosti evropskega gospodarstva v prihodnjih letih.
One of the EU’s top priorities is to stimulate in people a strong desire to become entrepreneurs, and the Commission is working closely with EU national governments to achieve this goal.
Ena izmed glavnih prednosti EU je v mladini spodbuditi željo, da bi postali podjetniki. Da bi ta cilj dosegla, Komisija tesno sodeluje z nacionalnimi vladami EU.
“Entrepreneurs are the economic DNA which we need to build competitiveness and innovation in Europe.”
„Podjetniki predstavljajo gospodarsko DNA, ki jo potrebujemo za izgradnjo konkurenčne in inovativne Evrope.“
Generating more entrepreneurial attitudes
Razvijanje bolj podjetniškega ravnanja
Who wants to be an entrepreneur?
Kdo želi biti podjetnik?
Unlike in the United States, however, this career path is rarely first choice for people in Europe.
Toda za razliko od Združenih držav je ta poklicna pot redko prva izbira Evropejcev.
The Commission believes that we need to create more favorable attitudes towards entrepreneurs by promoting them as role models, by celebrating their success, and by reducing the fear of failure.
Komisija ugotavlja, da si moramo ustvariti boljše mnenje o podjetnikih, to pa bi dosegli s tem, da bi jih predstavili kot vzornike, slavili njihov uspeh in zmanjšali strah pred neuspehom.
We also have to make sure that the balance between risk and reward is right so that entrepreneurship is an attractive career choice.
Zagotoviti moramo tudi, da obstaja primerno ravnovesje med tveganjem in nagrado, tako da je podjetništvo privlačna poklicna izbira.
The Commission is working with national governments to make entrepreneurship education an integral part of the curriculum at all stages of education.
Komisija sodeluje z nacionalnimi vladami, da bi v šolske učne načrte na vseh ravneh kot sestavni del vključila podjetniško izobraževanje.
Entrepreneurship education not only teaches youngsters what entrepreneurship is all about but also contributes to fostering creativity and a willingness to take initiatives.
Podjetniško izobraževanje mladino ne le uči, kaj je podjetništvo, temveč tudi spodbuja ustvarjalnost in pripravljenost sprejemati pobude.
These are all key skills not only for successful entrepreneurs, but for everybody.
To so ključne spretnosti tako uspešnih podjetnikov kot vseh ostalih.
In some Member States entrepreneurship is already included in the national curricula for secondary school and is an objective in their education systems.
V nekaterih državah članicah je podjetništvo že vključeno v nacionalne učne programe in je predmet izobraževalnega sistema.
Example: The mini-company ‘R@’, set up by pupils in an upper secondary school in a small village in Estonia, produced a fabric-covered computer mouse that achieved significant market success.
Primer: Mini podjetje „R@“, ki so ga ustanovili učenci višjih letnikov srednje šole v majhni estonski vasi, je izdelovalo s tkanino prevlečeno računalniško miško, ki je dosegla velik tržni uspeh.
In small villages in southern Estonia, the unemployment rate is high and entrepreneurial attitudes are not common.
V vasicah na jugu Estonije je stopnja brezposelnosti visoka in podjetniško vedenje ni pogosto.
However, the students from the ‘R@’ group say that they have learned to think in new ways, and now see entrepreneurship as an important option in their lives.
Toda učenci iz skupine„R@“ pravijo, da so se naučili misliti drugače in da zdaj v svojem življenju vidijo podjetništvo kot pomembno izbiro.
Facing environmental challenges together
Skupno soočanje z okoljskimi izzivi
Climate change, scarcity of energy supplies and the need for sustainable development are changing the way we think about and do business.
Podnebne spremembe, omejena oskrba z energijo in potrebe po trajnostnem razvoju spreminjajo naše razmišljanje o poslovanju in naš način poslovanja.
Demand for environmentally friendly products and services is increasing, opening the way for new business opportunities.
Zahteve po okolju prijaznih izdelkih in storitvah, ki jih izpolnjujejo socialno odgovorna podjetja, rastejo, kar omogoča nove poslovne priložnosti.
But environmental legislation is becoming more complex, and the costs of non-compliance higher.
Toda okoljska zakonodaja postaja vse bolj zapletena, stroški kršitve pa so vse večji.
Lack of information, insufficient expertise, and scarcity of resources make it difficult for SMEs to comply with environmental legislation.
Pomanjkanje informacij, nezadostno strokovno znanje in izkušnje ter omejeni finančni in človeški viri MSP otežujejo uskladitev z okoljsko zakonodajo.
This also prevents them from fully exploiting the opportunities for increased efficiency, competitiveness, innovation and growth offered by sound environmental management.
To pa MSP prav tako preprečuje, da bi v celoti izkoristili možnosti za večjo učinkovitost, konkurenčnost, inovativnost in rast, kar nudi ustrezno okoljsko upravljanje.
The Commission is working together with Member States to make it easier for SMEs to tackle these problems and to transform the environmental challenge into business opportunities.
Komisija sodeluje z državami članicami, da bi MSP olajšala reševanje teh težav in spremenila okoljski izziv v poslovne priložnosti.
Providing environmental advice to SMEs
Svetovanje MSP v zvezi z okoljskimi zadevami
The EU is training environmental experts in business support organisations such as business associations and chambers of commerce.
EU v organizacijah za podporo podjetništva, kot so poslovna združenja in gospodarske zbornice, usposablja okoljske strokovnjake.
The European Commission is funding environmental experts within the new Enterprise Europe Network who can help small businesses through on-site visits, information and expertise.
Evropska komisija financira okoljske strokovnjake v okviru nove mreže Enterprise Europe Network, ki lahko pomagajo podjetjem s svojimi obiski, posredovanjem informacij in strokovnim znanjem.
Since October 2007, the European Compliance Assistance Programme (ECAP) funds actions to make it easier for SMEs to comply with their obligations and improve their environmental performance.
Evropski program za pomoč pri doseganju skladnosti (ECAP) od oktobra 2007 financira dejanja, ki bodo MSP olajšala izpolnjevanje njihovih obveznosti in izboljšala njihovo okoljsko učinkovitost.
A new website enables SMEs to quickly find general information, in their own languages, on existing and forthcoming environmental legislation which affects them.
Nova spletna stran omogoča MSP, da v svojem jeziku hitro najdejo splošne informacije o obstoječi in prihajajoči okoljski zakonodaji, ki jih zadeva.
It also provides information on the tools available for environmental management, funding opportunities for green technologies, best practices, and national initiatives, etc.
Stran zagotavlja tudi informacije o orodjih, ki so na voljo za okoljsko upravljanje, o možnostih financiranja zelenih tehnologij, najboljših praksah, povezavah do nacionalnih pobud itd.

Assisting SMEs in eco-management
Pomoč MSP pri okoljskem ravnanju
The Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) has been recently revised by the European Commission.
Evropska komisija je pred kratkim spremenila Sistem okoljskega ravnanja in presoje (EMAS).
EMAS assists businesses in fostering sustainable development and managing their environmental impact by planning, review and improve their environmental performance, optimising the use of raw materials, transport, services, water and energy, and complying with environmental legislation.
EMAS pomaga podjetjem pri podpiranju trajnostnega razvoja in upravljanju vpliva, ki ga imajo na okolje, pri načrtovanju, spreminjanju in izboljševanju okoljske učinkovitosti, s čimer optimizirajo uporabo surovin, transporta, storitev, vode in energije ter se uskladijo z okoljsko zakonodajo.
By using the EMAS logo, businesses not only increase environmental efficiency, but also get greater visibility and improve their company’s image.
Podjetja z uporabo logotipa EMAS izboljšajo okoljsko učinkovitost, obenem pa postanejo bolj vidna in izboljšajo svojo podobo.
The benefits from the system often also include cost efficiencies, as well as opening up new business opportunities in markets where green production processes are important.
Prednosti sistema pogosto vključujejo stroškovno učinkovitost, odpirajo pa tudi nove poslovne priložnosti na trgih, kjer so pomembni zeleni proizvodni postopki.
SMEs can take advantage of specific derogations applicable to the maintenance of EMAS registration.
MSP lahko koristijo posebna odstopanja, ki so povezana z vzdrževanjem registracije EMAS.
