Secondly, on behalf of the Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy, I should also like to thank Mr Färm very much for his understanding of the problems facing small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly in border regions, where I believe that this initiative will be very well received and to which it will offer huge benefits for the future, particularly with a view to enlargement.
Deuxièmement, je souhaiterais également remercier très vivement, au nom de la commission de l'industrie, du commerce extérieur, de la recherche et de l'énergie, M. Färm pour la compréhension dont il a fait preuve en ce qui concerne les petites et moyennes entreprises, précisément dans les territoires frontaliers.
