Commissioner Günter
Verheugen awarded FIDEN Prize 2007
On 27 November 2007, Hans Ziegle, President of FIDEN, in the presence of the
board of directors, awarded Commissioner Günter Verheugen, Vice President of the
European Commission, during a joint dinner in Brussels this year's FIDEN Prize
for his merits in favour of the interests of small and medium-sized enterprises.
This prize is awarded by FIDEN each year to prominent figures from politics and
economy who show special commitment to companies in Europe, which is also
directly and indirectly beneficial to the industrial cleaners sector.
In his congratulatory speech, President Ziegle pointed out various projects of
the European Commission in favour of companies which the award winner helped
substantially to initiate and promote, such as the Charta for Small and
Medium-Sized Enterprises, the creation of the position of an SME delegate, an
SME platform, and the Oslo Agenda, which are aimed at boosting entrepreneurial
spirit. In his acceptance speech, Vice President Verheugen mentioned especially
the economic and social relevance of the industrial cleaning sector in Europe
and gave information about the present SME policy of the European Commission
which in future will pursue an even greater reduction of red tape and
unnecessary legislation for the SME.
