FINANCING

Dear friends and girlfriends,
Since the beginning of the year there is a serious problem with the gradual reduction in turnover especially small and micro enterprises, which worsened recently and due to the global crisis of the financial system. Like all indicate problems will intensify in the next four months, during which traditional place 2/3 of the turnover in the market. Concern all of us should be ensuring first of the “existence” of SMEs and the sustainability of jobs. Required that policies and measures, good planning and coordination. We believe that we have already delayed. ESME the “National Council of Small and Medium Enterprises” It is necessary to immediately convened in order finally to discuss, plan and implement policies to rescue the real economy. Basically pillar of which are small and micro enterprises. You need the Economy Ministry to implement the Greek economy Shield plan from the effects of the international financial crisis, SMEs only shield now do not feel. When the draft law submitted to Parliament after approval by the Governmental Commission, Article 5 of the bill stipulated that credit institutions’ are required to use the product of the realization of securities for lending mortgages and to SMEs with competitive conditions. ” Without any real commitment and expertise nor what or how. After the justified public criticism that the plan only to strengthen bank liquidity and not the economy, ie. Of households and businesses. The previous government announced its forecast recommendation Implementation Supervisory Council of the law, which will meet once a month. But the one or more meetings a month is not sufficient to exercise active oversight and policy to implement the commitment sought for mortgage loans and loans to small businesses on competitive terms. Because terms are not defined and specific targets only the generalization of ‘competitive conditions’. Substance words (free translation) “that the banks’ wish. Financing of SMEs, which was already before the crisis limited and comparatively expensive, will become even more difficult and expensive. Just to keep up and increase, through the crisis, banks’ profit margins. Exacerbating existing chronic distortions to the detriment of businesses and the real economy. Not ensured that the bank financing of government bonds will be directed exclusively to mortgages and to SMEs on competitive terms. It is also noteworthy that both during the initial configuration process of the project the BoG and the Minister of Economy met repeatedly with representatives of banks, first large and then smaller, not yet met with representatives of the real economy. He had already had recovered the ESME. This marks the active interest and not the statements and reports of backbone, we usually hear during election periods. Now we hope that the new government will see the big problem of funding, liquidity and the continuing decline in consumption that is threatening businesses and jobs. The previous period was chosen foroepidromi and especially the denial of statutory funding of basic insurance carrier sized “OAEE ‘, thereby risking a collapse and a minimum safety net must have someone to operate, take risks, invest and ultimately creating wealth and jobs. Must quickly and directly to change course by directing part of the money intended for banks, actions and measures that will really support the real economy, a key pillar of which are small businesses.
But how to achieve all this unless there is the introduction of a general financing system where loan guarantor should be the government? how to relieve SME when the system itself to eliminate?
When forced to resort to usurious process either imposed by individuals or the same commercial bank trader.
When our daily colleagues are in the auction process or its companies or their personal assets (houses, etc.).
How many of us in our careers have not undergone this pressure or not we get in this process. For this we ask:

Be a fairer human state based on financial initiatives for each SME.
That programs to support SMEs on hiring new employees therein or to further develop themselves either through new investment initiatives.
Incentives in Manufacturing – processing and other professional classes, which will employ labor.
Be a redistribution of financing amount of CSF and elimination of conditions for participation as well as special programs for all businesses.
Establish Community Programs Recommendation Commission and treatment for developmental course of each segment.
Enable and management of these programs to local federations.
A positive step could be called the guarantee fund which enabled the financial support of several companies.
competition

Dear friends and girlfriends,
There needs to be application of antitrust measures for all multinationals, monopolies and all department stores and create unfair competition but also literally devastate SMEs. Must be implemented embargo below cost, a single time as other media, discounts twice a year by 20 days, to protect our businesses.
How SMEs will survive when sold hypermarket products are not even touching the pricing of our goods?
To provide smooth operation of the market and there must be rules for all the aforesaid.
Besides we have and where illegal trading illegally operating businesses or the corresponding documents are nor required a license. Furthermore if those are Greek industrial units that produce comparable products or even superior qualitatively as e.g. the folk art carved etc. should be a shield for all these operations to be operational perspective and survival in tomorrow.
We indicatively mention the example of Chinese who have invaded our market and have several branches smash.
Now they have advanced and itinerant sales (Chinese, Rosopontioi, Nigerians, Czechs, Yugoslavs, etc.).
For all these reasons there can be no healthy competition, and for this:

We ask for them to have thorough control of the movement of products.
We ask you to check all of these companies if they meet the necessary requirements and authorizations for their smooth operation.
Monitoring of their quality and of similar documents that accompany them.

exports

Dear friends and girlfriends,
We need implementation of political initiative for growth in exports of manufactured products of each region. We as OEVE Magnesia want to believe that our Tertiary union will record business and indicate ways to promote exports, either through collective activities either by private initiative or by viewing the reports on other countries or on the Internet that has the ESEE either through the Chamber.

EMPLOYMENT
Dear friends and girlfriends,
All governments refer to SMEs and to support the strengthening of incentives for employment and creating new jobs in order firstly to reduce unemployment and secondly to provide incentives to SMEs to survive and grow.
But how this will be achieved and how when the unemployment rate has jumped to 24%?
The existing legislation sets a framework of understandings and agreements between companies and workers on working time and that this time disputing.
This framework should also be strengthened and improved to be able to operate and not be deregulated.
The proposals OEVEM and the Confederation told us the following:

timeout (4 months should be set) in which adjustments in working hours will be allowed.
We need to put additional limit working hours should not exceed two hours per day for the period of the treatment.
They should be allowed in business sectors and through the process of sectoral agreements.
As reference overtime, should be agreed means of the National Collective Agreement.
To provide the necessary incentives for young people to avoid the phenomenon of non-effective support of occupational choice.
In all our daily basis we witness watching our unemployed fellow citizens to beg for a job in order to survive they and their families.
Under such pressure becomes celebrity crush, redemption and consciousness is misery.
Both the Federation and the Confederation of us should ask to be connected with productivity training through apprenticeship schools throughout the Territory, which will demonstrate the social nature of the state, but we will have successful and highly skilled professionals.
Nor should we allow different sectors to work not licensed professionals, lacking the necessary training because it creates many problems in many disciplines (eg electricians, plumbers, etc.).
The goal of our Federation and the Confederation and the World Community Reflections, was and is what will be done with the youthful work.
So I need to work out in what ways and to what directions work will support youth employment, but also to show young entrepreneurs with new data in modern and technologically developed market.
All governments say that SMEs are the backbone of the national economy. strengthening incentives for employment and the creation of new jobs there.
How then, cities with declining as Volos developed?
When the unemployed will find employment position?
If there is no coordinated work plan, then our young people seek easy profit temporary solutions (such as burglaries – bad company – marginalization – despair – drugs).

GLOBALIZATION
Dear friends,
In the global community, everything indicates that there will be continuous turbulence for existence and operation of modular outlets. Our confederation must compete and to safeguard the values ​​and morals of all media But how there will be resistance voices of each country where the global workshops consolidate operations of polymorphic capital wants to have 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
