The union shares Europe of the small-scale enterprises
 In the UE the greatest part of the places of work é in order that enterprises of 250 employees are ascribed at the small and medium-sized enterprises (small and medium-sized enterprises) that is to say in already ¹. They cover a crucial importance for the future development but they assist at facing often huge bureaucratic obstacles. The European small and medium-sized enterprises are worth receiving a better assistance in order that they allow to appreciate fully their potentialities in terms of sustainable growth in the long period and of creation of a greater number of places of work. To reach this objective the European Commission has inaugurated the Act on the small-scale enterprises for the Europe (HIGH PRESSURES), based on ten orientations and proposals of political actions to be realised be at the level of the Commission that to that Member states. The President of the Commission, Josà © Manuel Durà£o Barroso, has declared:“ The today's Act on the small-scale enterprises for the Europe constitutes a step ahead towards an Europe of the entrepreneurs with less bureaucracy and greater encouragement for 23 million small and medium-sized enterprises in Europe. Objective of this tool é of helping the small-scale enterprises to flower and to create for the best between them a throwing springboard affinchà © be able to become world competitors. The act on the small-scale enterprises é a mile stone in the accomplishment of the Strategy of Lisbon for the growth and the occupation. He will involve more reactive public authorities, a decrease of the delays in the payments of the invoices, the access for greater helps in point of financing, innovation and formation, a VAT reduced for the services supplied locally and a better access for the public contracts. The pack will confer besides on the small and medium-sized enterprises the access for a statute of European private society in the way of reducing the bureaucratic burdens and increasing the clearness of the operations”. The Vice-president of the Commission, Gà¼nter Verheugen, responsible person for Enterprise and industry, has asserted: "The entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurship cover a huge importance our societies . Today, and even more tomorrow, the small and medium-sized enterprises will create occasions of professional formation and of work. When it becomes something for the small and medium-sized enterprises it means that does to itself something for the present and future occupation in the UE. à ˆ time then that a politics favourable to the small and medium-sized enterprises constitutes the guide line also for other politics of the UE. The Act on the small-scale enterprises é inspired in the beginning “First of all to think little” and brings to support of the small-scale enterprises all the weight of the UE and of his Member states. à ˆ working together that we can produce results.”
The responsible Commissary for the internal market and the services, Charlie McCreevy, has added: "The small-scale enterprises of the whole Europe can avail themselves of a new tool to do business in the only market. The HIGH PRESSURES é transparent, flexible and he will present everywhere a strong image. I encourage therefore the Council and the European Parliament to reach in the short run an agreement on the proposal of the Commission.”
The President of the European Investment Bank (European Investment Bank), Philippe Maystadt, has added: "The analysis of the Commission confirms the conclusions which the European Investment Bank had arrived during his consultations: the wellbeing and the growth of the small and medium-sized enterprises will be the key for the future competitiveness of the Europe. The market singly not é able to offer sufficient financing and at costs adjusted for the small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly as far as it concerns the innovative companies to elevated growth. The group European Investment Bank will do her best therefore to get round the market gaps widening the field of his financing.”
The Commission proposes a true and own political collaboration between the UE and the Member states that there reflects the political availability to recognise the central list of the small and medium-sized enterprises in the economy of the UE and that a global political picture intends to carry out for the first time for the UE and his Member states. The proposal API goes at the same rate with the plans recently announced by the group European Investment Bank aimed to modernise and diversifying the gamma of his tools to support of the small and medium-sized enterprises.
In the centre of the HIGH PRESSURES é the conviction that the adjusted one of conditions picture optimal for the small and medium-sized enterprises depends in primissimo place on the recognition of the list of the entrepreneurs from the society , active they are in the handicraft, in the micro-enterprises, in the enterprises to familiar management or in the enterprise of the social economy, and the fact that makes itself attractive the option of guiding an own enterprise. This means that must change the rather negative perception of the list of the entrepreneurs and of the acceptance of risk in the UE.
The Act on the small-scale enterprises for the Europe establishes 10 beginnings that nonchà should be adopted at most political level © concrete measures destined to return the easiest life for the small-scale enterprises. After the European Commission has been consulted by the enterprises and their representatives he has decided to propose besides new legislative tools in four fields that interest particularly the small and medium-sized enterprises:
- in the first place a new general exclusion Rule for category on the state helps will simplify the procedures and will reduce the costs. He will increase the helps intensity for the small and medium-sized enterprises and will make them easier to benefit by helps for the formation, the research and the development, the environmental protection and other types of subsidies;
- in the second place, a new statute of European private society will allow to create a “ European private Society” (SPE) that it will make based on the same uniform beginnings in all the Member states. This tool é been conceived to solve the problem of the onerous obligations whose operating small and medium-sized enterprises in a dimension transfrontaliera assist at must be a front allorchà © must constitute affiliates with the different corporate shape in all the Member states in which they intend to exercise their activity . In practical terms the SPE it would involve that the small and medium-sized enterprises can constitute their society in the same shape, independently the fact that they exercise their activity in the own Member state or in an other. The fact of opting for the SPE will let to the entrepreneurs save time and money for aspects which legal advice, the management and the administration;
- a new proposal is added to this in point of VAT that will offer to the Member states the option of applying rates VAT reduced for the services supplied locally, I understood the services to high intensity of manpower, which are supplied generally by small and medium-sized enterprises;
- at last for 2009 é foreseen a modification of the directive on the payment services to ensure that the small and medium-sized enterprises are paid within the estimated term of 30 days.
10 beginnings will guide the conception and the accomplishment of the politics at the level of the UE and Member states, for example those times to guarantee a second timeliness to the insolvent enterprises, to facilitate the access for the financing and to allow to the small and medium-sized enterprises to transform the environmental challenges into timeliness .
As well as the permanent engagement to reduce the administrative burdens of 25 % within 2012, the necessary time to guide a new enterprise should not be longer than one week, the necessary maximum time to obtain licences of exercise and permissions should not exceed the month and a system of only doors should help to facilitate the starts of enterprises and the acceptance procedures.
Where feasible the Commission intends to fix exact dates for the coming into effect of the rules / decisions that interest the enterprises. The Member states are invited to gaze at analogous measures.
The HIGH PRESSURES he understands an ambitious group of measures turned to allow to the small and medium-sized enterprises to benefit completely by the only market and to expanding on the international markets orientating a greater number of resources on aspects that interest the small-scale enterprises which the access for the financing, the research and development and the innovation. This will make easier at the small-scale enterprises to participate in the standardization process, to win public contracts and to transform the environmental challenges into business timeliness.
At last the HIGH PRESSURES it looks for new formalities to stimulate the interest for the entrepreneurship and to cultivate a spirit more entrepreneurial, above all between the youth. The youth who intend to guide an enterprise can now pick up experiences passing a time period close to foreign small and medium-sized enterprises thanks to the neogoing program “Erasmus for the young entrepreneurs”. This will allow them to update their knowledge and will help to create nets between the small and medium-sized enterprises in Europe. Analogous mobility programs are also in carrying out course as far as it concerns the trainees.
The HIGH PRESSURES it returns fully to the strategy for the growth and the occupation. The Member states are invited to exploit the occasions offered by the renewal of the cycle of Lisbon 2008 in order that the HIGH PRESSURES echo in their national reform programs.

It results from it that 23 million small and medium-sized enterprises assist at submitting often garlic I was requisitioned administrative of 41 000 great European enterprises.
