(7) The Union is uniquely placed to provide a Union platform for policy exchanges and mutual-learning between the Member States by encouraging examples of good practice in the employment and social areas. Knowledge of policies applied in other countries and of their results broadens the range of options available to policy-makers, triggers new policy developments and encourages national reform.

(14) Lack of access to credit is one of the main obstacles to business creation, especially among people furthest from the labour market. Union and national efforts in this area need to be stepped up in order to increase the supply of microfinance and meet demand from those who need it most, and in particular unemployed and vulnerable people who wish to start up or develop a micro-enterprise, including on a self-employed basis, but do not have access to credit. Similarly, small undertakings and micro-enterprises make up the majority of newly-formed companies in the European Union and microcredits could be the most rapid means of obtaining added value and concrete results. As a first step, in 2010 the European Parliament and the Council set up the Facility.

(21) Since the objectives of this Regulation cannot be sufficiently achieved atby all Member States, in particular at regional level, and can therefore, by reason of their scale and effects, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve those objectives.
