Rule 130
Gabriel Mato (PPE) , Carlos Iturgaiz (PPE)

The EU has introduced a Green Action Plan (GAP) for SMEs which will enable them to exploit the business opportunities that the transition to a green economy offers, by improving productivity and driving down costs in European SMEs through resource efficiency, by supporting green entrepreneurship and by exploiting and developing Europe’s leadership in green processes and technologies.

The GAP constitutes an integral support strategy for SMEs with a series of objectives and actions structured around areas such as greening SMEs for more competitiveness and sustainability, green entrepreneurship for the companies of the future, opportunities for SMEs in a greener value chain, access to the markets for green SMEs and governance.

What results have been obtained up to this point through the implementation of the Green Action Plan?

How does the Commission intend to ensure that the GAP is extended so that more companies are able to sign up and benefit from it?
