Paragraph 3
3. Welcomes the Commission’s aim in the SAM process to make the principles clearer, more straightforward and easier; takes the view that these principles should be both well coordinated with other EU policies and sufficiently clear, predictable and flexible to meet the needs of certain Member States and their regions facing a time of crisis and severe economic hardship; reiterates its recognition of the role played by State aid in addressing the economic crisis; expresses its concern that the proposal, as published for consultation, is not sufficiently evidence-based and will go against the objective of simplification;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Is of the opinion that excluding large enterprises companies from State aid rules in areas covered by Article 107(3)(c) TFEU is not justified given their contribution to employment, the supply- chains that they create with SMEs, their common involvement in research and development, and the role they play in dealing with the economic crisis; takes the view that the presence of large undertakings is often key to the success of SMEs that benefit from clusters led by large companies and from their sub- contracting activities; underlines that such a decision may lead to job losses and reduced economic activity in the regions, decrease of regional competitiveness and attractiveness for foreign investment and to the relocation of companies to other regions either within and outside the EU;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 17
Paragraph 17
17. Believes that the eligibility of large enterprises for State aid incentives should be determined not on the basis of the size of the enterprise or the sector in which it operates but on the basis of the credibly estimated number of jobs that could be created under the incentive, the quality of these jobs or the sustainability of the project; stresses that, in compliance with the principle of subsidiarity, decisions to determine which particular projects have the highest potential to achieve the objectives of EU policies should be left to the Member States, the regions concerned and local governments;
