7. SUGGESTIONS FOR THE SME DEVELOPMENTS IN THE BLACK SEAREGION 49The Experts of this report suggest the following orientation for action in the field ofimprovement of the SME sector in the BSEC region:1. The WG on SMEs should regularly review the implementation of this Declaration and thedevelopment of entrepreneurship and the (private) SME sector in BSEC Member Statesevaluation. This is an urgent task and PERMIS should find a solution jointly with theChairmanship-in-Charge to vary out this task. This might be a major objective for a MinisterialMeeting during 2008 or 2009. Annex 5. compiles a possible Questionnaire on theimplementation of the BSEC Declaration on SMEs.2. Develop an international body (committee, or it could be an annual conferences ormeetings) with the broad functions of support of the SME activities in the Black Sea region.Each of the countries of the region has to have a representative to this body, which would beinstrumental in joint strategy of Black Sea Region countries in SME sector development. Amongits functions could be making detailed recommendations for each country with the descriptionof possible options of financing and co-financing; informing on existing projects in the otherBlack Sea countries for the most beneficial for all sides cooperation.3. Assessment of the dynamic change in demographic, socio-cultural, political/legislative,macroeconomic, technological and global dimensions for each country involved.• It needs to form a group of internationally recognized experts and develop amethodology of analysis and qualitative and quantitative standards for the SME sectordevelopments in the region• Discuss and evaluate suggestions on different forms of cooperation between countries –joint projects and programs4. Develop a SME Information Network for the Black Sea Region countries and enforce thecountries’ efforts in implementing IT in the SME businesses. The headquarters for a BSEC SMENetwork might be either at the PERMIS BSEC, or as an independent web at one of the leadingand economic powerful country line Greece, Russian Federation or Turkey.5. Using the network share the advancements of laws related to the SME sector in differentcountries and procedures of doing business that make them more business inspiring.Bureaucratic procedures for business start-up should be improved.6. In order to make comparable statistics as well as government support measures, theparticipants of the Workshop suggest to harmonize the definition for SMEs taking intoconsideration the EU definition relating number of employees, and limit the annual turnover inaccordance with the local economic performance of the country.7. It would be useful to organize Annually BSEC Forum on Entrepreneurship similar to theConference on the Implementation of the European Charter of SMEs supervised and directed bythe European Commission. The Black Sea Trade and Development Bank (BSTDB) established inThessaloniki might finance the organization of such kind of event. The main purposed of suchForum would be exchange of information and best practices in the major subjects of the BSECDeclaration of SMEs, especially simplification of procedures and reducing red tape, SME supportinfrastructure, improving entrepreneurial skills, financing SMEs, etc.49 Prepared by Dr. Irina Y. NAOUMOVA, Dr. Anna PETROSYAN, Dr. Antal SZABÓ, Dr. Alakbar MAMMEDOVand Umut Yilmaz CET•NKAYA.136
8. Elaborate and apply a common granting system for SME developmentmeasures/programs in BSEC countries in order to create new opportunities for provision of “ondemand” support to SMEs, which in turn will path a way to more efficiently utilize the potentialof SME sector in light with the social-economic development of the BSEC countries.9. Elaborate effective tools and develop advance financial instruments such as venturecapital, private equity etc, at the BSEC region.10. Share the knowledge of sustainable economic development including environmentalfriendly and “green” technologies.11. Increase awareness of the SME products among the other Black Sea Region countries byhaving supplemental annual exhibitions.12. Increase awareness towards youth entrepreneurship, women entrepreneurs, disablesundertaking and minorities. It would be advisable to organize an Annual Competition of BestEntrepreneurs of the BSEC region similar to one organized by the UNECE.13. Work on a program of cultural events (representing and selling the other country SMEproducts) in the major tourist cities of the region.14. Continue the well established support in organizing SME-related workshops and eventswith the technical and financial assistance of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. As furtherpossible subjects we suggests the following: entreprenbeurship eduvation, best practices inbusiness incubation, university based technological parks and business incubators,microfinancing as tool for poverty alleviation, social corporate responsibilities,internationalization of SMEs, etc.15. While continuing organizing SME-related workshops by PERMIS BSEC and the TurkishRepresentative of KAS, it is recommended to contact The Office of the Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation in Tashkent and investigate the possibility of convening joint workshop on SMEstrategies in Central Asia and the South Caucasus with support and participation of other BSECcountries.16.
