Recital 41 a (new)
(41 a) A better alignment of banks’ prudential framework with the EU policy framework on Social Economy will contribute to a better inclusion of ESG requirements risks into the banks’ framework. Some banks have a specific legal nature, different characteristics, a unique "mutualistic" model that should be taken into account. It is therefore important that those banks are defined as "social economy entities", according to the conditions specified in Art. 4 point 146 (a). As a result, prudential and supervisory requirements should be made in a more proportionate and appropriate way.

Recital 41 b (new)
(41 b) The creation of the new category of social economy entities is consistent and will help to fulfil the strategy that puts green and sustainable financing at the heart of the EU financial system. It will help regulators and supervisors to better understand their business model and develop consistent policies and a more proportionate supervisory approach to deal with them. It will also help to improve the overall access to funding for social economy entities, which consequently will help revitalise the rural areas and proximity to the local communities, favouring the green and digital transition and the creation of new jobs.
