Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Takes the view that the European Union and the Member States should recognise the social economy and its stakeholders – cooperatives, mutual societies, associations and foundations – in their legislation and policies, and provide for measures - such as easy access to credit and tax relieves. Those measures should include easy access to credit and tax relief, the development of microcredits, the establishment of European statutes for associations, foundations and mutual societies, as well as tailored EU funding and incentives - to better support social economy organisations operating within market and non-market sectors, which are created for the purpose of social utility.
