Renewal of the Council for the Promotion of the Social Economy
The aim of this body is to improve the collaboration, coordination and dialogue with the public administrations.
At its meeting on the 24th of February, the Cabinet passed a series of steps to renew the Council for the Promotion of the Social Economy, an organisation that has been inactive for the past ten years.
The renewal of this body has been an ongoing demand by the Confederacion Española de Empresas de Economia Social, CEPES (Spanish Confederation of Social Economy Companies), of which the Fundacion Espriu forms part. The Board is integrated in the Ministry of Work and Social Economy and its aim is to improve the collaboration, coordination and dialogue of the social economy and the public administrations.
Its composition and operation allow the sector to collaborate in the preparation of projects about legal or regulation provisions; to carry out studies and reports and to tackle questions that affect the economy social bodies. This decision “comes at a moment of intense activity for the sector as we are working to tackle the road map marked out by the Ministry of Work and Social Economy with subjects as crucial as the preparation and approval of the new Spanish Social Economy Strategy 2021-2027,” indicated Juan Antonio Pedreño, chairman of CEPES.
