lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report. The Statute for a European cooperative society (SCE) is not yet a success given its scarce use – up to 2010, only 17 SCEs had been established, with a total of 32 employees. These figures show the Statute to be poorly suited to the specific circumstances of cooperative societies in Europe even though entrepreneurs have expressed an interest in setting up an SCE. A revision of the directive should address the specific needs of employees in cooperatives, including the option to be both owner and employee of the same enterprise. I believe that owing to its complexity, the Statute only partially meets the needs of cooperatives and that it should be simplified, made intelligible to all and easier to apply, thus ensuring the rights of information, consultation and participation of all employees without affecting the quality of the Statute. The Statute should provide for an autonomous legal framework for SCEs alongside existing national law on cooperatives and direct harmonisation would therefore not take place. The Member States must ensure more favourable conditions for cooperatives, such as access to credit and tax incentives, etc. Cooperatives are an important pillar of the European economy and a key driver for social innovation and contribute, in particular, to preserving infrastructure and local services, above all, in rural areas and conurbations."@en1
