"Madam President, I would like to express my pleasure at seeing the European Parliament reaffirm its support for cooperatives, which are a very distinctive type of company. These companies have considerable power: 160 000 cooperatives with 5 400 000 employees. Of course, let us not be naive. We know perfectly well that some cooperatives practise truly predatory behaviour, like the Finnish cooperative which just wiped M-real Alizay off the map, leaving more than 400 employees by the wayside. This is true and it is shameful, but, as a general rule, cooperatives behave completely differently and, above all, in many situations, this type of company enables employees to save and develop businesses that we simply wanted to eliminate. That is why we must support this very distinctive type of company, where everyone has a voice."@en1
