Paragraph 1
1. Calls on Member States to focus on facilitating an adequate EU funding mix for SMEs – grants, loans, guarantees, equity, microfinance – in view of the ever- increasing role of financial instruments and synergies between instruments funded by the EU budget through the ERDF and through direct management programmes such as Horizon 2020, the PSCI, COSME and LIFE; stresses that the funding mix, and in particular the link between grants and financial instruments, must take account of the different parameters that determine the nature of SMEs and dictate their needs and conditions of access to financing, in particular, the territory on which they are based, their area of activity and the business's phase in the lifecycle;
