摘要

In order to build a strong economy, the European Union aims at creating the required conditions for the development of innovative practices leading to the establishment and growth of the SMEs, as well as strengthening the entrepreneurial spirit, given that they are important factors of economic and social growth.This paper aims at presenting the results of a comparative theoretical approach taken at national and European level regarding the focus on social policies, and the development and support of the entrepreneurial spirit. The comparative approach is based on the content's analysis of the main strategic documents which outline the domain specific policies and strategies, at national and European level.Within the compared theoretical approach, we have analyzed the ways to encourage and facilitate the establishment of new enterprises, the means of determining a business environment in which each company should have actual access to markets for products and services, as well as the difficulties/ problems that occur in the development of these new enterprises on the business market. In this paper, we shall also present and analyze a set of ten principles meant to guide the design and implementation of public policies in the field (in favour of SMEs), at the level of both the EU and the member states.
