Amendment 117 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Is of the opinion that excluding large enterprises companies from State aid rules in areas covered by Article 107(3)(c) TFEU is not justified given their contribution to employment, the supply- chains that they create with SMEs, their common involvement in research and development, and the role they play in the economic crisis; remarks that enterprises which resemble SMEs in their structure such as family-owned businesses, do not necessarily correspond to the European Commission's definition of SMEs but are facing the same challenges and therefore should not be excluded from regional state aid; takes the view that the presence of large undertakings is often key to the success of SMEs that benefit from clusters led by large companies and from their sub- contracting activities; underlines that such a decision may lead to job losses and reduced economic activity in the regions and to the relocation of companies to other regions either within and outside the EU;
