"Cooperatives and other social economy enterprises are part of the European social model and the single market and must be given strong recognition and support. Cooperatives could mark another step towards completing the EU internal market, with the aim of reducing existing cross-border obstacles and enhancing the EU’s competitiveness. In fact, the specific characteristics of social economy enterprises need to be recognised and taken into account in European policies. Measures need to be taken to ensure that the European Observatory of SMEs includes social economy enterprises in its surveys. Dialogue with social economy enterprises needs to be stepped up, and the legal framework needs to be improved for these enterprises in Member States. Member States must foster conditions which are more favourable to cooperatives, such as providing access to loans and tax incentives. The Commission has to provide an open method for coordinating the social economy, including cooperative enterprises, involving both Member States and stakeholders, in order to encourage exchanges of good practices and bring about a gradual improvement in the way that Member States take into account the nature of cooperatives, in particular, in the areas of taxation, loans, administrative burdens and business support measures."@en1
