"− Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I would like to thank, in their presence, all the shadow rapporteurs and then, of course, my colleague Mr Lamberts, because we have worked very constructively in a cross-party review that has been full of conviction, and we have achieved an entirely satisfactory result. Thanks to all of you. I would like to remind you, in this conclusion, that one in four enterprises in the EU is a social enterprise. I would like to remind you that the social investment market is worth EUR 1 billion. Mr Lamberts, there are not many of us here in this Chamber, but I am certain that many entrepreneurs, in particular social entrepreneurs, are watching us live on Parliament’s website. I would like to say to them, and to all of you here, that social entrepreneurship is not a niche and that the European label represents genuine added value for Europe if we define it responsibly. As you have said, Commissioner, today we need to improve funding for social enterprises and we must not be hostages of a single issue. As we have all demonstrated, a second reading would be a real waste of time. I will therefore ask all my colleagues, in a very socially inclusive manner, to support me and to support the agreement reached in the trialogue in the session and during the vote tomorrow. I hope, then, that the Council will take our lead to ensure that this regulation is adopted quickly. It is, I would remind you, a driver of growth for our economy and a vehicle for inclusion and progress for our society. I ask all my colleagues to vote overwhelmingly in favour of the agreement reached in the trialogue."@en1
