Recital 50

(50) In light of the Commission Communication of 6 October 2010 entitled ‘European 2020 Flagship Initiative: Innovation Union’ and the Commission Communication of 7 December 2011 entitled ‘An action plan to improve access to finance for SMEs’, it is important to ensure the effectiveness of public schemes across the Union to support the venture capital market, and the coordination and mutual coherence of different Union policies aimed at fostering innovation, including policies on competition and research. A key focus of Union policies on innovation and growth is green technology, given the objective of the Union to be a global leader on smart and sustainable growth and on energy and resource efficiency, including in respect of financing for SMEs. When reviewing this Regulation, the Commission should assess its impact on progress towards that objective.
