"Cooperatives are an important pillar of the European economy, a key driver of social innovation and, in particular, help to maintain the infrastructure and local supplies especially in rural areas and large conurbations. Since we are talking about some kind of attractiveness of a legal form, the financial and economic crisis has shown that it cannot be addressed from the sole point of view of shareholders, but that the responsibilities of an enterprise as a social organisation should be taken into account. Legal regulations on cooperatives and employee participation across the EU are fundamentally different. The Statute for a European cooperative society (SCE) is, thus far, the only social economy legal form available at EU level. As a result, the SCE is closely interlinked with the directive supplementing the Statute for a European cooperative society with regard to employee involvement. Some Member States have transposed articles of the directive relatively successfully, others less so.
I think it would be appropriate for the Commission to develop instruments to facilitate the ownership of cooperatives by employees and users. The participation of employees in enterprises should be taken for granted in all EU Member States and there should be greater employee participation in cross-border forms of enterprise rather than remaining at the lowest level."@en1
