Speaker 2

Well, welcome everybody to this Econ MB and Liebe joint committee meeting. The first point is the adoption of the agenda. If there are no remarks, the agenda is adopted. The interpretation is available in all official languages except Irish, Latvian, and Maltese. And today, we will have the vote on the so-called mid caps Omnibus regarding the extension of certain mitigating measures available for small and medium-sized enterprises to small mid-cap enterprises, and further simplification measures.

The core reporters of this file are Maria Teresa Vivaldini for Econ, Niels Hansen for MB, and Lucas Mandel for Liebe. The vote will be an electronic one, and if successful, it will be followed by a vote on the mandate to enter into internal institutional negotiations. And now, I give the floor to the MB Co-Chair.

01:25 - 01:49

Speaker 1

A warm welcome to all members to this joint committee meeting. We proceed with the vote. I give the floor to the corruptors for one minute each. I will start with ECONA corruptor, Magatheresa Vivaldini. She's present.

Okay. She's not present. So we move to the envy Corporator, Mr. Niels Hansen.

01:58 - 02:20

Speaker 12

Thank you very much. Today, we vote on a very important file because this is the file where we also look into what sizes an SMC and an SME company have and what threshold we want to secure for them in the future. That is why this file is so important, and thank you for the huge turnout today.

02:27 - 02:31

Speaker 1

Thank you. Now I leave the floor to the Liebekor reporter, Lukas Mandel.

02:32 - 03:04

Speaker 4

Thank you very much. This is a very good day for Europe's economy and future prosperity. We lift burdens against our companies. We follow the spirit of this mandate, I would say, and we also have to spread the message that Europe will be in better shape in the future due to simplification and the lifting of regulatory burdens. This is an important step we will take today.

It's a strong parliamentary endeavor for the companies, for the employees, for the prosperity, and for the opportunities of Europe in its entirety.
