EU Entrepreneurship Action Plan
In 2004, following the debate launched by the Green Paper on Entrepreneurship, the Commission published an Action Plan based on the extensive feedback received. The Action Plan established a framework of five strategic priority areas setting out Europe's agenda for entrepreneurship in the years to come. The Action Plan outlined a series of key actions related to five strategic areas. High on the agenda were fostering entrepreneurial mindsets among young people, reducing the stigma of failure, providing support for women and ethnic minorities, reducing the complexity of complying with tax laws and facilitating business transfers.
