Jeg er ordføreren meget taknemmelig for, at hun pointerede problemet med de små og mellemstore virksomheder. Det er efter min opfattelse kernen i vores bestræbelser.
I am very grateful to the rapporteur for emphasising the problem of small and medium-sized enterprises, which I regard as the focal point of our efforts; there are 25 million of them, and the European economy thrives on their flexibility and capacity for innovation.
