RESOLUTION
OF THE 5TH
NATIONAL FORUM
OF
SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES IN ROMANIA

Joined today, the 30th of May 2003, in Galati, representatives of the small and medium entrepreneurs in Romania, from the 74 branches of CNIPMMR and 20 member associations, decided, based on the discussions held within the NATIONAL FORUM, to adopt the present resolution, asking the Presidency, the Government and the Parliament to act in favor of solving the following issues:

1. Reducing taxation on SMEs according to the best practices from the EU;

2. Taking the necessary steps to grant incentives for creation of new jobs, investments and exports by respecting international agreements and practices

3. Promoting a non-discriminatory policy towards all private companies, regardless of the type of ownership or capital;

4. Including more of the social partners (which participate at the tripartite commissions) proposals into the by-law projects

5. Improving the provisions in the Labour Code, so that, together with protecting the employees' interests, to ensure that there is a strong possibility for an efficient management and to stimulate entrepreneurs to create new jobs and to effectively protect their employees

6. Elaborating legislative provisions more thoroughly and clearly in order to avoid the further apparition of regulations, which could cause confusion and even break the initial intent.


7. Adopting clear measures by the government in order to avoid delaying the terms of elaborating the methodological norms, by the responsible bodies

8. Facilitating SMEs access to the financing programmes from governmental or international funds and installing a total transparent environment concerning the access to financing sources;

9. The percentage allocated yearly from the state budget to supporting SMEs should comply with the contribution of SMEs in PIB and to the state budget, as in the majority of EU states

10. Developing business incubators, industrial parks and ensuring state assistance for management, marketing, financial, juridical services for SMEs, similar to the EU;

11. Grounding the by-law projects - which are subjected to discussion in the tripartite commissions of the Economic and Social Council, Government and Parliament - with studies on the economic and social impact; so the unfavorable effects in economic and social matters will be avoided;

12. Elaborating and endorsing as urgent as possible a Fiscal Code in order to simplify the present provisions thicket and to simply state the obligations as well as the rights of the entrepreneur;

13. Analyzing, together with employers associations and trade unions, the costs that every employer has; we consider that a more reasonable rate between the amount every employee gets and the total costs of the employer would really reduce the black labor market, stimulate the creation of new jobs and generate additional revenues for the state budget;

14. Creating an investment bank with an initial state participation, following other EU countries' model (e.g. Spain); this bank should grant, under favorable conditions, medium and long term credits with a grace period;

15. Urging the justice reform so that the commercial processes, especially those for debits recovering should have a larger celerity.

16. Urging the implementation of OECD and EBRD recommendations from the Report regarding the development of entrepreneurial spirit and Romanian enterprises, in order to ensure a normal activity environment for SMEs.

The participants to the 5th edition of the National Forum of Small and Medium Enterprises in Romania believe that in the past months more attention was paid to this vital sector, but also warn that the difficult situation of the majority of private entrepreneurs needs that the requested measures should be adopted urgently, because any delay can make them useless and inefficient, stopping the strengthening of the Romanian economy and fulfilling the performance criteria established for the Romania's joining EU in 2007.
