I voted in favour of this proposal on creating a favourable climate for social enterprises. Social enterprises provide goods and services to businesses using conventional methods. However, excess profits are used first and foremost for social purposes. Because the main goal of social enterprises is the social impact and not profit, the European Commission and the Member States should ensure that these companies do not face disadvantages in relation to companies of other types. Social enterprises contribute to smart growth and promote social and economic reforms. I agree that there should be a legal framework at EU level that regulates solidarity funds’ investments to make sure that social enterprises have better access to financial markets. I also agree that it is necessary to improve companies’ access to micro-credits and improve social enterprises’ access to funds to finance start-up, development and expansion. I support the proposal on the establishment of a kind of seal of quality in order to improve the visibility of those enterprises. I also believe that it is essential to better inform managers of social enterprises about EU programmes that can provide them with the support they need."@en1
