JEREMIE: Joint European Resources for Micro to Medium Enterprises

ferran — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 12:57:43 +0200

JEREMIE

The European Commission, European Investment Bank and European Investment Fund have launched a joint initiative to improve SMEs' access to finance in the framework of European Regions.

The initiative, called Joint European Resources for Micro to Medium Enterprises, known by the acronym JEREMIE, will enable European Member States and Regions to use part of their structural funds to obtain a set of financial instruments that are specifically designed to support micro and small and medium enterprises.

The initiative will contribute to growth and employment in line with the renewed Lisbon agenda, which was agreed by the Member States meeting at the Spring Council in March 2005.

The European Commission's Communication, "Cohesion Policy in support of growth and jobs, Community strategic guidelines 2007-2013", stresses the importance of improving access to finance for the development of SMEs. In particular, it emphasises the need to enhance support on competitive terms for start-ups and micro-enterprises, through technical assistance, grants, as well as non-grant instruments such as loans, equity, venture capital and guarantees. The report highlights the added value of undertaking these actions in cooperation with the EIB Group, namely European Investment Bank (EIB) and European Investment Fund (EIF).

NESSI SME / NEXOF / NESSI2010 Invitation

Dear Colleagues

It has been quiet, I know, on the SME front after the December NESSI GA, the SME session and of course the Xmas break. The main reason for this has been the ramping up of the NESSI projects under FP7 which has been taking place during the last quarter and which can now have a positive impact on our community. In particular it was appropriate to wait for the inauguration of projects NEXOF-RA (The NESSI Reference Architecture) and NESSI 2010 (The NESSI Coordination action) and to resolve some administrative matters on this note as you will see in this mail.

I will leave you to read about the full details of the projects on the URLs but what I would like to introduce to you in this document is the open ICT SME component of both projects which whilst difficult to achieve, especially considering significant budget cuts, have managed to be inserted.

General information on the LLP

A SINGLE UMBRELLA FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING PROGRAMMES

The European Commission has integrated its various educational and training initiatives under a single umbrella, the Lifelong Learning Programme. With a significant budget of nearly EUR 7 billion for 2007 to 2013, the new programme replaces the existing education, vocational training and e-Learning programmes, which ended in 2006.

The new Lifelong Learning Programme enables individuals at all stages of their lives to pursue stimulating learning opportunities across Europe. It consists of four sub-programmes: Comenius (for schools), Erasmus (for higher education), Leonardo da Vinci (for vocational education and training) and Grundtvig (for adult education).

A transversal programme complements these four sub-programmes in order to ensure that they achieve the best results. Four key activities focus on policy co-operation, languages, information and communication technologies, effective dissemination and exploitation of project results.

Finally, the Jean Monnet programme stimulates teaching, reflection and debate on the European integration process at higher education institutions worldwide.

As regards the four sectoral programmes, quantified targets have been set in order to ensure a significant, identifiable and measurable impact for the programme. These targets are as follows:
