(ANSA) - NAPLES - Giving new impulse to the cooperation between companies and operational synergies and partnership programs to promote the access of small companies to cooperation efforts in the Mediterranean were the objectives of two days of meetings with European small and medium-sized companies in Athens on Thursday and Friday. The conference was attended by the CAN, the confederation representing artisans and small firms and European counterparts including APCMA (France), EVEA (Esthonia), PIMEC (Spain) and GSEVEE(Greece) members of UEAPME, the European association of small and medium-sized craftsmen.

The exchange of practices and local and regional development policies was discussed during the conference to promote exchanges between small and medium firms to share new digital expertise in their different contexts.

The vice president of CAN and Ueapme, Giuseppe Oliviero, said that ''turning the Europe of diversity into a Europe of multiple resources is our duty, that of the many producers who deal with the market on a daily basis. It is from our countries that we must build an inclusive policy in Europe''. He stressed the need to build ''a strategy that designs Europe over the next 20 years, starting from the safeguard of workers by cutting salary gaps and taxes on workers, impacting investments before the reduction of costs with the current policies that paralyze whole countries; the sharing and parametrization of the public debt of single countries, the single currency, one parametrized debt, unified GDP''.

During the meeting, the results of a study carried out by the European academy PMI of Avignon were presented, promoted by CNA and GSEVEE, in cooperation with Ueapme and presented at the presence of the president of the economic and social committee on the new challenges set by European policies for small and medium-sized firms.

The president of GSEVEE Giorgios Kavvathas, representing some 100,000 small and medium-sized companies, stressed the necessity of ''efficient networks of cooperation between organizations that represent European small and medium firms, which are an example of a still-unexpressed potential domestic market: with over one million associates, a network of services of support is possible''.
