REPORT BOARD OF OEVEM
TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF MEMBERS
THE ACTIVITIES OF THE FEDERATION
Colleagues,
We are going through a very difficult time for the country, for the layer of professionals, craftsmen, traders, and the trade union movement. The risks are many and unfortunately not limited to our internal problems. The immigrant / refugee, international terrorism, the rivalries between States, especially in the energy map creates an explosive mixture that despite the tragic problems that we are experiencing can not overlook.
However this does not mean that we should leave aside our problems and our demands. Claims that are not only do with the survival of small and micro business, but mainly with the development of our country, with its economic growth, which should however be based mainly on small and very small entrepreneurship.
In this context the OEVEM moved last year prefixing the aspirations and needs of small, micro-enterprises and self-employed in an increasingly difficult business environment.
An economic environment over the past three years is stagnating. And there are many who perceive the economic stagnation we experience as the bottom of the barrel. As that is the beginning of growth. The term, however, stagnation has dual reading. If therefore an interpretation is the development followed the different interpretation encompasses the risk of a sudden collapse. Unfortunately the available data do not support sustainable development.
In fact, according to the latest survey of OEVEM small and very small businesses withstood the effects of the economic crisis and showed a more robust behavior now beginning to bend under the weight of the prolonged stagnation in an extremely limited economic environment.
In this suffocating context OEVEM last time sought:
· To express more strongly as possible and documented the interests, claims, the agonies of self-employed and small businesses.
· To strengthen the trade union movement. The OEVEM tries through its actions to strengthen the voice of small and even in this difficult financial environment and to exploit all possible cooperation on specific or broader issues with the social partners and other productive and social organizations.
The activities of the Association during the past year have been recorded in sixteen (17) Minutes of Board Meeting from No. 017 through No. 033

Colleagues,
Closing of OEVEM action review I would say that next time will have to face a number of serious issues that have been prescribed. We must therefore be ready as it tends to become dominant view that one of the most serious problems of the Greek economy is the existence and operation of an excessive number of small and micro enterprises. The problem is not the existence of a large number of small and micro enterprises. Rather, the problem is the low productivity, untapped and unexploited innovations and small market share of small and micro enterprises. In order therefore to effectively compete oligopolies, small and micro enterprises should cooperate and not to compete for the crappy shares of their local markets. In this case the role of OEVEM be catalytic.
SINCERELY
THE PRESIDENT: Plastaras Tryfon
