"I voted in favour of Mr Becker’s report on the European Commission’s Social Business Initiative because it is a laudable and ambitious programme. Investing in social enterprise can bring significant returns, not only in strictly economic terms – wealth creation and employment potential – but also from a social point of view. The added value of social enterprise is represented by the pursuit of goals such as social inclusion, re-entry into the employment market, the provision of services to the community and to people who are most marginalised and at risk of exclusion. I also support Mr Becker’s approach to ensuring that social enterprises are not exposed to uncontrolled competition and benefit from adequate financial support. In this regard I hope that appropriate measures are taken to make it easier for these enterprises to access microcredit. Social enterprise will also be particularly instrumental in accelerating social and territorial cohesion in some parts of Europe where development is lagging behind. Social enterprises will feed into a ‘virtuous circle’ through the production of goods and supply of services of a social nature, the stimulus to create new production models and the spread of entrepreneurship and a culture of legality."@en1
