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.
Thank you to all those organisations who replied to the consultation!
