"Cooperative enterprises, as well as promoting the interests of their members and users, also promote important solutions to societal challenges, thereby playing an important part in local development, which is a decisive factor in generating genuine social, economic and territorial cohesion. They are an important pillar of the European economy and have considerable economic power on globalised markets. The purpose of revising the regulation on the Statute for a European cooperative society (SCE) is the need to defend workers’ rights to take part in cooperatives. I voted for the report, but I am bound to stress that the SCEs have clearly not had much success, as demonstrated by the fact that only 17 SCEs had been established as of 8 May 2010. This failure is particularly stark in Member States with a long-standing tradition of cooperatives. I would warn of the need to rethink measures intended to promote SCEs, making them better known and encouraging cooperatives in different countries to work together."@en1
