OBJECT: Appointment of Commissioner in charge of Social Economy
Brussels, June 20th , 2024
Dear Ms Signe Riisalo, Minister of Social Protection
I contact you regarding the nomination of a European Commissioner responsible for the
Social Economy.
I am the president of Social Economy Europe, a network that is the voice of 2.8 million
social economy enterprises and organisations in Europe. We are the social economy
reference point at European level. We are a strategic partner to European institutions and
have led on EU policy on the social economy.
During the High-level conference on Social Economy: People, Planet, Action which took
place in San Sebastian and the social economy event in Liège last February, 20 member
states engaged in supporting the appointment of a European Commissioner.
With this e-mail we invite your governement to support the nomination of a European
Commissioner responsible for SE. This nomination is crucial to assure the continuity of
the Social Economy Action Plan (SEAP) and the development of social economy broadly.
If there is anything we can do to help push for this nomination, please let us know.
Furthermore, we would deeply appreciate if the European Commissioner could be
someone who supports sociale economy and who has a certain knowledge w in Social
Economy .
Lastly, we would highly appreciate if your party could approve the renewal and continuity
of the Social Economy Intergroup, a body of vital importance to mainstream social
economy’s perspective into the legislative and non-legislative work of the European
Parliament. The action of the Social Economy Intergroup and its members has been key
for the development and approval of the Social Economy Action Plan in 2021. In order
to keep social economy high on the political agenda and to make sure the SEAP is being
properly implemented, it is crucial to ensure that the European Parliament´s Social
Economy Intergroup continues.
Your commitment to this cause is invaluable, and we would greatly appreciate your
support. If you have any questions or if there is anything we can do to help, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
Yours sincerely,

SEE’s Memorandum.
Firstly, we would like to ensure that the nomination of a European
Commissioner responsible for the Social Economy remains a priority on your
government's agenda or during negotiations. This nomination is essential
for the continuity of the Social Economy Action Plan (SEAP) and the
broader development of the social economy sector. If there is anything we
can do to assist in advocating for this nomination, please let us know.
Secondly, we would like to ask your party's approval for the renewal and
continuity of the Social Economy Intergroup (SEIG) within the European
Parliament. The Intergroup has played a vital role in mainstreaming the
social economy perspective into legislative and non-legislative work, and
its continued existence is critical for ensuring the proper implementation
of the SEAP.
Your commitment to these causes is invaluable. If you have any questions
or if there is any way I can help, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your support and consideration.
Respectfully yours,
Juan Antonio Pedreño
