Saturday, the 3rd & Sunday, November 4, 2012 Hotel DIVANI CARAVEL
Colleagues,
The big problems we face force us to ask for the support of our tertiary trade union (ESEE) because we as SMEs in the region face daily difficulties and financial whirlpool. Briefly mention the following:
In the periphery of the market mobility is very low and the liquidity in our business is lacking, our vast our operating liabilities leading daily continuously padlocks, and the hike and bills are rising, financing from the banking system is lacking and understand colleagues daily accept numerous payment orders. By this plea with our request to the County Court Volos to get written about how many reports the seizure deposited during the year 2011-2012. This will be for us the basis for research in order to make direct interventions and actions to prevent the destruction and annihilation of our business.
Under the light of the above parameters we understand that it is a matter of time to be further downsizing, and the drive our children to emigrate for a better future leading to a depopulation in our cities.
By this plea dear Colleagues need to take final decisions on direct interventions in order not to live under the nightmare of poverty.
The falyrismos a company in the province dear colleagues are simultaneously xeftila because in closed societies become directly daktylodeiktoumenos would leave unpaid obligations to partners, suppliers, employees, the invoices of the utilities in the public, to banks, to your friendly environment and natural mortgages and will lose all your assets painstakingly built.

GLOBALIZATION
Colleagues,
In the global community, everything indicates that there will be ongoing turbulence for existence and operation of modular outlets. Our confederation must compete and make immediate interventions to safeguard the values and morals of all media
But how there will be voices of resistance in each country where the global workshops consolidate companies in which there is polymorphic workplaces in order to captivate the consumer society and in the end will flatten and destroy essentially traditional industries.
• permitted exist and department stores have branches scattered across the country and pay an insurance coverage only for the head office?
• Allow them the opportunity underemployment of workers is given?
• You may no sales below cost?
• Controlled their respective documents like any other business?
• Is it right to have uncontrollable working hours than other media
Colleagues,
Some time ago we started a big campaign on the subject of illegal trade. Noticed all that, at least launched a clearance attempt from this scourge. But we need to continue to intensify our efforts to build a consumer awareness in this direction. We had taken over as OEVEM to manufacture printed material of this effort, however, is not correct possible because the economics of our Federation did not arrive. We ask you to give us the financial capacity to do so. Instead we tried to set up groups to divide the black material we had our consumers to be finally consumer awareness. Also constructed 10 for posters and of course today we have not received money from either the Chamber promised us. We need to make an effort on our own for a monthly slide show you have to push the region to begin the annual or six-month campaign. Both the court order we have tabled and the lawsuit against illegal vendors Greeks and foreigners have brought activating effects of the competent authorities. We requested the County Court Volos to grant us in writing the number of the seizure reports submitted on the financial year 2011 – 2012 you mention the seizure submitted 870 reports against our colleagues. Under this thinking and a lot of pressure we had and we had a big protest march to the Greek Parliament from October 13 until October 23, 2012 with initiative of OEVEM and in cooperation with all stakeholders and our fellow citizens, creating the Movement Citizens hope. The response of both the operators and society in our journey was very long it seems that the word hope disturbed the family peace since government with which we arrived after 11 days we were greeted with jeering riot. Colleagues can not go we must begin a scaling constant struggle but not with the old forms until today we did and new forms of struggle that have efficacy if we do not do is mathematically certain to perish all the small and microenterprise . We end the month of November we will present both the Supreme Court and European Courts and the lawsuit against those responsible for flagrant violation of human rights, has no political system is the right to suicide for countless debts have. A few months ago the Greek people gave them the right to manage our destiny if you really can not respond to this purpose then the only good thing they can do is to rid us of their presence. We now have to inform two political leaders and we talked to all parliamentarians of parties, I believe that the coming week we will complete the update process of political leaders. I also mention that until this moment have been prepared us around 3,500,000 members and stakeholders as we expect support from European Unions and the Diaspora. The meeting to be held in Brussels at the end of the month we will have counterparts in our European Trade Union activist effort.
We ask you to take the initiatives ESEE to become citizens hope moves in all regions.
Colleagues
We are not political transformation or want to become, but we can not tolerate this situation, not to pay 43 years contributions to OAEE and once we insolvency last year not to have health care, not to have deprived ug always as parents in order to study our children and the result of our effort to do so, as unemployment and emigration may not notice our colleagues to seek their daily diet in the bins of garbage. We can not remain under any other party dependencies. When our colleague has sustainability problems and lacks the obvious diet both his own and his family and this has an impact on us because hunger has no color.
Colleagues,
As you can understand should be how to organize new forms of struggle through ESEE to be consideration of the books for a semester so that our colleagues have healthcare. I like to think that we can coordinate such an effort and of course have to stand up in the whirlwind of a tax hike that we have been so far.
SUPPORT CREATION OF MEDITERRANEAN COMMUNITY
We need to support the European Confederation of Small and Medium Enterprises initiative (UEAPME) for the establishment of a Mediterranean community. That:
1. To start the exchange of goods between the Mediterranean countries.
2.Member start the operation of freight centers.
3.Member States an exchange of new and modern technologies.
4.Chreiazetai implementation of political initiative for growth in exports of manufactured products of each region.
5.Neous ways of promotion of our products through the organization of exhibitions, as well as through the internet.
VISION TRAINING, EDUCATION, DEVELOPMENT
Dear Colleagues, The Education and the Training of all of us, on the one hand is needed and secondly, it must, in order to have viable and competitive enterprises in accordance with international standards of business development.
The new visions and objectives of our Federation, from the time we Globalization must be:

ENSURING SUSTAINABLE Media
• The department is outside the agglomeration.
• Design and planning for parking spaces.
• Better traffic arrangement.
• Establishment of a committee on urban planning with the participation of CCI representatives.
• Until there is rational management of urban planning of the territory, there needs to be tolerance of Supervisors, as not affected our business.
• There should be substantial support of tourism development in our country. Our geographical position but also the rich historical culture helps us in a deep economic lung. For this you need complete inventory of domains, ranking priorities and financial assistance for real development and prospect of prosperity of any business.

For some time watching as O.E.V.E.M. a great weakness of SMEs payments due to successive increases in tariffs of utilities and ongoing operating costs.

Banking System: Great indebtedness of entrepreneurs and of course to give money to our colleagues need doubtful guarantees to banks or property or guarantors.
VAT .: The existing problem of the crisis will become even more pronounced in the new year as the rate of VAT 11% will go to 13% and will cause even greater problems.
Fuel: New increase in fuel with fewer trips to all tradesmen and merchants and of course still an additional charge.

a) Department uncontrolled time, underemployment workers and large unfair competition.
b) Multinational companies, large cartels, such as oil, milk, tobacco, food, etc. they have imposed their own pace.
c) illegal trading: scourge for all small and medium size entrepreneurs.
d) Automatic devices,
e) Nonexistent business planning,
f) Financial incentives,
g) Liquidity of the market.
