"Article 54 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union states that ‘‘Companies or firms’ means companies or firms constituted under civil or commercial law, including cooperative societies’, while Article 152 of the same Treaty stresses that ‘The Union recognises and promotes the role of the social partners at its level, taking into account the diversity of national systems’. I agree with the majority of the submitted report, since I consider it crucial to acknowledge the role played by cooperatives and other companies of the social economy in building the European social model and the single market. I also agree that there should be more encouragement for workers to participate in the active life of companies. However, I would express my opposition to the adoption of quotas of 30% women at senior management levels and on the boards of public and listed companies by 2015 and 40% by 2020, since I do not consider this the proper way to promote the merit, ability and knowledge acquired by women over the years. Finally, I believe that cooperatives play a very important role in regional cooperation, since they bring producers far closer together at local level, thereby fostering increased social, economic and territorial cohesion."@en1
