THE EUROPEAN COOPERATIVE SOCIETY - JURIDICAL ADEQUATE INSTRUMENT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COOPERATIVES? TRANSNATIONAL ACTIVITIES. POSSIBILITIES OF IMPLEMENTING THE CONCEPT WITHIN ROMANIA.

The lack of public understanding regarding the role and impact of cooperatives upon welfare implies not recognizing cooperatives as a form of entrepreneurial activity. There is an obvious need to overcome the contradiction between reality and recognizing cooperatives. The European Community, wishing to guarantee equality of conditions in competition and to contribute to its economic development, should supply the cooperatives with adequate juridical instruments, capable to facilitate the development of their transnational activities. The current paper sets out to follow the implementation mode within the Romanian and European area of the regulation regarding the European cooperative society (SCE).
