This time, however, I would like to state that my vote for the motion is also a call for Mr Bushill-Matthews to accept, at a later date, an amendment which I tabled and which, I
regret to say, has been rejected this time. I am calling, that is, for funds to be allocated to small and medium-sized businesses which follow the practice of setting up a company where a young entrepreneur who is full of enthusiasm and the will to work is aided by an older – senior – entrepreneur who knows everything there is to know about the business, is very experienced and can pass on his skills,
...[+++] and, even though he has no real wish to work long hours, would be happy to give the youngsters the benefit of his experience.
Toutefois, je voudrais signaler cette fois-ci que mon vote favorable est également une invitation lancée à M. Bushill-Matthews afin qu'à l'avenir il accepte un amendement que j'avais présenté et qui malheureusement, à cette occasion, a été repoussé, à savoir que des fonds soient octroyés aux petites et moyennes entreprises pour les encourager à se constituer en adjoignant à un jeune entrepreneur, plein d'enthousiasme et de volonté de travailler, un ancien entrepreneur - un senior - qui sait tout, connaît tout, peut lui transmettre ses connaissances même s'il n'a plus autant envie de travailler intensément et qui serait heureux de transmettre son expérience aux jeunes.
