Szociális Szövetkezetek Országos Szövetsége (SzoSzöv)

1. Background

In its last paragraph, the Communication on Social Business Initiative (SBI[1]) states that "The Commission … shall … set up a consultative multi-stakeholder group on social business to examine the progress of the measures envisaged in this Communication … this group could be made up of representatives of the Member States, local authorities, social entrepreneurs' organisations, the banking and finance sector and the academic and university sector."

The group, called "Groupe d'experts de la Commission sur l'entrepreneuriat social" (GECES), will be set up for 6 years (2012 – 2017), and will:

1)      "Examine the progress of the measures envisaged in" the SBI

2)      Be consulted by the Commission, on the development, setting up and implementation of the 11 key actions listed in the SBI (cf. annex).

3)      Be consulted by the Commission on the opportunity, development, setting up and implementation of some or all other actions mentioned in the SBI (cf. annex).

The Commission is therefore calling for applications with a view to selecting members of the GECES.
