GRTU calls for MEP support on common rules regarding the European Cohesion/ Structural Funds
24 March 2012
GRTU this week wrote to MEP Cuschieri as Maltese MEP and substitute member of the REGI Committee since the Committee of the European Parliament organised on the 19th of March an exchange of views and an initial examination of the working paper of Van Nistelrooj, rapporteur, and Krehl on the regulation on common rules regarding the European Cohesion / Structural Funds.
GRTU call for support to highlight SMEs and micro enterprises and support the positions taken by UEAPME, the European Association of Craft, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, representing GRTU at EU level. GRTU explained that this support is important and our lobby will be more effective, especially since many measures favorable to small business, such as governance according to article 5, targetting SMEs, support for mentoring actions and accompagniement by intermediary organisations of small businesses, certain measures of administrative simplification, e-Cohesion, simplification of rules of payment… are strongly opposed by many members states as well as by some organisations with very large companies.
