• What is their effect?

This legal oriented theme also aims at comparing the pros and cons of the different types of undertaking in the various countries and to subject all kinds of aspects linked to legal statutes and specific rules for social economy organisations (and their support bodies/philanthropists) to a critical examination. In many countries debates are going on about the desirability of specific statutes for the social profit sector and the social economy in particular. This debate also concerns European Statutes. Comparative law, fiscal issues, cross-border related problems, labelling, etc. should be addressed and exchange of experiences can be helpful in this respect.
