71. pozdravlja pripravljenost Komisije, da bi z različnimi pobudami bolje upoštevala vlogo akterjev v socialni ekonomiji − kot so opredeljeni v resoluciji Parlamenta z dne 19. februarja 2009 o socialni ekonomiji – zlasti s prizadevanjem, da bi pojasnila pravni okvir za tovrstna podjetja (vzajemne družbe, fundacije in zadruge), tako da bodo lahko nemoteno prispevala k zmanjšanju revščine in da jim bo zagotovljena pravna varnost, in sicer naj predlaga inovativne in trajnostne odzive na potrebe državljanov ter poudari, da socialna ekonomija ni omejena samo na to področje; ima vseeno pomisleke, ker ni sklicevanja na statut evropskega združenja, čeprav je sektor združenj poglavitni akter v boju proti revščini; poudarja tudi, da trenutno predlagani ukrepi v smeri socialne ekonomije, zlasti za združenja in vzajemne družbe, niso zadostni glede na prispevek tega področja k politiki boja proti revščini in socialni izključenosti ter evropskemu gospodarstvu in socialnemu modelu niti na splošno kot odziv na posledice gospodarske in socialne krize; zlasti poudarja svoje zahteve in pričakovanja glede priznavanja socialnih storitev splošnega pomena, kot so bile znova potrjene v njegovem poročilu o prihodnosti socialnih storitev splošnega pomena z dne 5. junija 2011 ( A7-0239/2011 ); je seznanjen s predlogi za revizijo določb Skupnosti na področju javnih naročil in državne pomoči ter ponovno zahteva, da jih je treba prilagoditi posebnostim socialnih storitev splošnega pomena in njihovemu načinu organizacije; podpira ustvarjanje kakovostnih delovnih mest in mehanizme individualizirane pomoči pri iskanju zaposlitve prek podjetij za vključevanje na trg delovne sile in podjetij socialne ekonomije zaradi izkušenj pri socialnem in poklicnem vključevanju prikrajšanih oseb; ponovno poziva k sektorskim zakonodajnim pobudam za kakovost in dostopnost socialnih storitev splošnega pomena, zlasti na področju zdravstva, izobraževanja, javnega prevoza, energetike, vodne politike in komunikacij;
Welcomes the Commission’s desire to take greater account, through various initiatives, of the role of social economy actors (as defined in Parliament’s resolution of 19 February 2009 on the social economy), in particular by clarifying the legal framework applicable to social economy enterprises (for mutual societies, foundations and cooperatives) so that there are no more obstacles hindering them from making a full contribution, with legal certainty, to reducing poverty and social exclusion by proposing innovative and sustainable responses to citizens’ needs; stresses at the same time that the social economy is not limited to this area of activity; is concerned, however, that no reference is made to the statute for a European association, given that the not-for-profit sector is a major actor in the fight against poverty; stresses, however, that the measures currently being proposed to promote the social economy, in particular associations and mutual societies, do not adequately reflect its potential contribution to the policy on combating poverty and social exclusion, to the economy and to the European social model, and, more generally, do not match its role in responding to the consequences of the economic and social crisis; stresses, in particular, its demands and expectations in relation to the recognition of SSGIs, as reaffirmed in Parliament’s resolution of 5 July 2011 on the future of social services of general interest ( A7-0239/2011 ); notes the proposals for a revision of the EU provisions on public procurement procedures and state aid, and reiterates its call for them to be adapted to the specific nature of the tasks of SSGIs and the way in which they are organised; supports the creation of decent jobs and the provision of personalised job-seeking assistance via specialised training and placement agencies and social economy enterprises, in view of their expertise in helping disadvantaged people find jobs; reiterates its call for sectoral legislative initiatives in relation to the quality and accessibility of social services of general interest, in particular in the areas of health, education, public transport, energy, water and communication;
