Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Notes that, setting aside the issue of their size, each SME is different and there are many factors which determine their needs and the ease with which they can obtain funding, such as where they are based, especially underlining the difficult circumstances in rural and sparsely populated areas, the business sector in which they operate and the stage they have reached in their development; calls on the Commission, Member States and regional authorities to take these factors into account in coming up with tailor-made financing arrangements which in particular exploit the scope for combining subsidies and funding instruments.
