Supporting the internationalisation of SMEs

"Supporting the efforts of companies to be able to reach international markets is a concrete response to the crisis of European domestic demand", said yesterday the Vice President of the European Commission Antonio Tajani during a mission in Spain. As it is foreseen that between now and 2020 the 70% of the economic growth will be placed in emerging markets, the EU needs to help European SMEs to access these markets, so as to exploit its full potential. To achieve this objective, from 2011 the Vice President Tajani organised a series of "missions for growth", which led delegations of entrepreneurs and associations of entrepreneurs to confront their counterparts spread in the several States of the world.
