"Mr President, social enterprises providing services of general interest represent 10 % of all European businesses and employ at least 11 million people in the European Union.
However, support of social enterprises through financial resources at local, regional and national level must reflect the economic viability of the business concerned, because it is undesirable for a business to depend exclusively on subsidies for survival and, after provision of these subsidies comes to an end, to be threatened with complete closure. If, in fact, a business is not capable of survival, an evaluation is really needed of whether it should ever actually have been set up on the social enterprise basis. In this connection, we should consider introducing financial support that will be preceded by an analysis of efficiency and of social return on investment, in order to develop the investment market and make it more transparent. However, many businesses face a lack of clear information about the possibilities of such financing and it can be complicated to obtain this information.
I should put it briefly: we ought to have clearer, simpler rules."@en1
