On March 1st 2021 the European Commission launched a roadmap – a form public consultation- on the European Action Plan for the Social Economy, that will be released by the end of this year. This consultation period will come to an end on April 26th so it is important to act quickly! More information on what this roadmap is can be found at the end of this article.

Social Economy Europe will respond to this important consultation with important messages from its policy paper Co-designing the Action Plan for the Social Economy: for an economy that works for people and the planet, that has been elaborated in cooperation with our growing network of 17 members and four external partners.
Consultation closes on 26th April!
SEE invites the whole social economy community -networks, representative organisations, entrepreneurs, members of social economy enterprises, support centres, activists, researchers, public authorities engaged in the promotion of the social economy etc.- to actively participate in this roadmap.

What is the Roadmap? How to use it? Who can participate?
This roadmap is open for feedback for 8 weeks from March 1st until April 26th. Feedback will be taken into account for further development and fine tuning of the Action Plan for the Social Economy. The Commission will summarise the input received in a synopsis report explaining how the input will be taken on board and, if applicable, why certain suggestions can’t be taken up. Feedback received will be published on this site and therefore must adhere to the feedback rules.
The Commission will use this roadmap to define the scope the Action Plan for the Social Economy. Roadmaps describe the problem to be tackled and objectives to be met, explain why EU action is needed, outline policy options and describe the main features of the consultation strategy. When the expected impacts of an EU law or policy are likely to be significant, the Commission conducts an impact assessment before making its proposal.
The aim of this assessment is to analyse in more detail the issue to be addressed, whether action should be taken at EU level and the potential economic, social and environmental effects of the different solutions outlined. The results of the impact assessment help inform the Commission’s decision.
Anyone who might be affected by an existing or proposed law or policy can participate in this process. This includes: public authorities, businesses, civil society organisations and the public.
