(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 particular by making administrative formalities more flexible, 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. As a first step, in 2010 the European Parliament and the Council set up the Facility. The Commission should also ensure that regions affected by permanent constraints and regions seriously affected by the crisis have greater access to European funds, thus enabling them to act as levers for growth, reducing their constraints.

(21) Since the objectives of this Regulation cannot be sufficiently achieved at Member State 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 and taking account of the institutional structure of the Member States and regions, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve those objectives.
