The law project Plx 335/2014 about the social economy in Romania is in its approval process at the Chamber of Deputies. We are aware that the actual law project is currently excluding of the sector the principals actors of the social economy recognized by all main European institutions: European Parliament, European Commission and the European Economic and Social Committee.Thereby, we would like, if possible, your support in Romania in order to make this concept of social economy a reality and not just a manipulated concept to allow the absorption of European funds dedicated to this sector, creating the opportunity of misappropriation and distorting the functioning of the internal market.

Social Economy Europe and ENSIE with other European networks of social economy support the Romanian social economy coalition as part of the law project about the social economy and ask for clarification and more precise definition of Social Economy.

ENSIE and RISE Romania: Ms Rovana Plumb, Romanian Minister of Labour, Family, Social Protection and Elderly answers to the common support letter to the Romanian coalition for social economy, asking for a more accurate definition of Social Economy in the new Romanian law.

Answering in a short letter Ms. Plumb ensured that the Romanian Government will respect the “EU institutions recommendations on Social Economy”.
