The European Commission launched a new Action Plan on 2 March 2004 setting out Europe's agenda for entrepreneurship in the years to come. The Action Plan aims to unlock the potential for entrepreneurship in Europe. Too few Europeans set up their own businesses and too few small businesses in Europe experience substantial growth. Yet almost half of Europeans say they would prefer to be self-employed, and almost a third of Europe's SMEs cite growth as their main ambition. Overcoming this paradox is a key aim of this Action Plan.
