1 DEVELOPMENT OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND SMEs IN SEE & CITs Dr. Antal Szabó, Regional Adviser on Entrepreneurship and SMEs UNECE 24 May 2005
2 PART OF THE GENERAL ECONOMIC POLICY There is no unique way of elaborating such policies; they clearly depend on a number of factors, such as national endowments of a country, the degree to which entrepreneurship already play a part of economic activity, the existence of entrepreneurial skills.
3 CATEGORIES OF THE SME DEVELOPMENT Emerging market economies (V4, 3 BALTIC STATES: EE, LV, LT, SI) Countries making rapid progress (EU candidate countries: BG, CR, RO + RF) Countries at an intermediate stage of transition (AL, AR, AZ, Serbia & Montenegro; MD KY) Countries making slow progress with less commitment (majority of the CIS countries)
4 Definition of SMEs The majority of the associated countries adopted the recommendation of the EU definitions of SMEs and generally follow the EU recommendations. A mechanical copying of the criteria concerning number of employees and financial criteria (balance-sheet and annual turnover) is not appropriate in all cases, because countries should take into consideration the scale of national economies.
5 Definition of SMEs The definitions of SMEs in the CIS countries are very inhomogeneous and it is very difficult to compare the share of the SME-sector of individual countries. In Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Republic of Moldova, Russian Federation, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan there is no defined criteria of mediumsized enterprises at all.
6 SME POLICIES Every CIT is developing some kind of national SME policy and programme. Experience shows that more and more countries are following the integrated approach to SME development suggested by the UNECE when developing the private and SME sector in the transition economies
7 INTEGRATED APPROACH OF SME SECTOR DEVELOPMENT (i) STRATEGIC level (policy making); (ii) INSTITUTIONAL level (support institutions); (iii) ENTERPRISE level (entrepreneurs and business entities)

10 SME POLICIES COMMONWELATH OF INDEPENDENT STATES Belarus (Program of the state support of small business in Belarus 2002.) Kazakhstan (Decree of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan (RK) of 29 December 2003, N1268, On State Program for Support and Development of Small Business in ); Kyrgyzstan ( Ratification of the State Programme on Entrepreneurship Development in the Kyrgyz Republic in , August 2001); Republic of Moldova (State Programme for the development of Small and Medium sized Enterprises ); Russian Federation (Decree No 118 on Creation of Russian Development Bank aiming at financing small enterprises including farming entities); Uzbekistan (Law on Guarantees for the Freedom of Entrepreneurial Activities, May 2002).

21 GOOD GOVERNANCE FOR SMEs review corporate governance practices in advanced market economies, the new EU candidate countries as well as in CITs; analyze the models of the SME-sector governance in associated EU countries and economies in transition; and explore the situation at the micro-level, how do the SMEs understand corporate governance, what are their problems and what governments and non-governmental organizations can do to help them.
22 LEGISLATION Parliaments and Governments should review their legislative acts on enterprises, especially small ones without juridical personality and start-up smallsized incorporated enterprises with juridical personalities. It would be advisable to prepare of a documents with all legislation in this field.
23 SME REGISTRATION Parliaments and Governments are encouraged to review the practices of enterprise registration including procedures and fees to be paid.
