"Cooperative societies embody many of the principles to which I am strongly attached, notably, collective management, the emphasis on local development and the pursuit of the well-being of employees and clients. The relevance of these societies has also been proven by their considerable sustainability and resilience during the financial crisis. I therefore voted in favour of the report by Sven Giegold on the Statute for a European cooperative society with regard to the involvement of employees. This Statute is entirely necessary to facilitate the development of the transnational activities of cooperatives, ensuring that they are not faced with administrative burdens. However, it has been shown that this Statute, in its current form, is not suited to the specific circumstances of these societies, which explains why so few European cooperative societies have been created. This report thus proposes simplifying it and making it more user-friendly so that it becomes more attractive, but without undermining the rights of employees. In this regard, I supported the request for provisions on the participation of employees to be included in the Statute itself. Finally, I welcome the call for greater gender equality in management positions."@en1
