Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Stresses that in a globalised world the single market has to ensure the best possible business environment for enterprises, and to take the specific nature of SMEs into account in order to foster job creation, innovation and entrepreneurship in all EU regions, including rural areas; welcomes, therefore, the planned assessment of the ‘Small Business Act’ and the reinforcement of the ‘Think Small First’ principle; Calls on Commission and Member States to make EU funds more easily accessible, especially to SMEs as they are the most flexible component of Europe's economy;

Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Stresses that single market accessibility for all EU regions is a prerequisite for the free movement of people, goods, capital and services, and thus for a strong and dynamic single market; points out, in this connection, the essential role played by the Union's regional and local policy in terms of developing infrastructure, particularly in the less developed and outermost regions; calls for the development of innovative sources of funding (such as public-private partnerships, project bonds and user charges); calls on the Commission and the Member States jointly to address the complexity of the rules governing revenue- generating projects;

Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Underlines that regional policy implementation is crucial for the success of the Europe 2020 strategy and the deepening of the single market; points out that EU structural funding should be allocated in a flexible, dynamic, forward- looking manner, i.e. so as to cushion further the possible adverse effects on regions of international trade agreements and to prepare EU regions for socioeconomic change; calls for a more user-friendly regional policy, but also for stricter rules against ‘fund-shopping’, by means of which some enterprises may misuse the Union's financial instruments; Underlines the need for deeper harmonisation and integration of the Structural Funds rules, avoiding the breakdown of a project into different parts to apply to different funds; Recommends that the focus be put not just on the regularity of expenditure but on quality of interventions and that resources be concentrated in potentiating assistance on the management side;

9. Takes the view that territorial cooperation (including European Groupings of Territorial Cooperation (EGTCs) and macro-regional strategies) makes a decisive contribution to removing visible and invisible internal borders within the single market; calls, in this connection, for the post-2013 budget for territorial cooperation to be increased in order to promote multilevel cooperation across national frontiers and better exploit the potential of territorial cooperation;

11. Appreciates the Commission's multilevel governance approach, which is necessary in order to ensure genuine participation by regional and local political and economic actors.
