"I voted in favour of this important and timely report because of what it says about the positive and wide-ranging social impact, such as bringing about full integration into the community of the vulnerable or marginalised. The efforts being made to create a European sector for investment in non-profit activities aimed at achieving particular social goals are both necessary and timely in today’s difficult economic climate. Social businesses account for 10% of European businesses, and they employ 11 million people. Social businesses are undertakings whose primary objective is to have a social impact rather than to make a profit. These undertakings have a genuine social aim, but because they depend, for the most part, on funding from grants, they often have an uncertain future. The European Social Entrepreneurship Funds would help social businesses continue with the good work they are doing. I share the rapporteur’s view on implementing safeguarding and transparency measures for the European Passport for European Social Entrepreneurship Funds to ensure that the European strategy for social businesses succeeds in a way that is tailored to the Member States."@en1
