THE IMPACT OF THE FUTURE COMMUNITARIAN BUDGET ON THE COMMON AGRICULTURAL POLICY

2013

The main purpose of the Common Agricultural Policy was oriented towards production, within a short time span, due to massive subsidies from 2/3 of the communitarian budget. At this time the main objective of the Common Agricultural Policy is to reach quality, ecologic and food safety parameters, for which only 1/3 of the communitarian budget is allocated. The Common Agricultural Policy is supported by members with developed agricultural sectors, but also by states in Central and Eastern Europe, which have difficulties in this sector. The communitarian budget subsidizes the two main pillars of agriculture: "direct payments" and "rural development".

Transparencia y nuevas tecnologías en las Cooperativas de crédito

2004

An international reaction was required to the financial scandals of recent years, and some States started to reform corporate governance. Two main systems were used – self-regulation through good governance codes, and legislative measures to achieve transparency in financial markets. The principle of transparency is based on two premises – corporate governance and business information in the framework of new technologies. This study analyses the enforcement of the new Spanish legislation on transparency in credit cooperatives from a dual perspective – that of organisational structure, and members’ rights to information and the use of new technologies.

The workers' value of the remaining employment contract duration

2005

We introduce and apply a method for estimating workers' marginal willingness to pay for job attributes employing data on job search activity. Worker's willingness to pay for the remaining duration of the employment contract is derived. We provide evidence that workers attach substantial value to the remaining contract duration. A temporary worker with a remaining contract of six months is willing to pay about 10% of the monthly wage to increase the contract by one month.This discussion paper has resulted in a publication in Economica, 2008, 75(297), 116-39.

Las políticas públicas de igualdad en el empleo y la economía social y cooperativa

2004

There are different policies for equality in employment, different “equality plans”, different guidelines, etc. at various levels (European, national, Autonomous Community, etc.) which aim to reduce inequality between men and women in labour matters, such as wages, employment rates, etc. Measures also exist in the social economy to achieve equality between men and women because this principle is behind the cooperation or cooperative principles on which the social economy is based.

Las secciones de crédito en el ordenamiento jurídico español

1999

A credit section is an economic and functional demarcation within a co-operative that, without having an independent juridical personality out of the co-operative it belongs, operates as a financial entity, limiting its active and passive operations to the co-operative and its members. The credit sections are recognized by all the autonomical co-operative laws and they have been especially regulated in Catalonia and the Valencian Community. The regulation contained in the Ley de Cooperativas 27/1999 (Law of Co-operatives 27/1999) clearly restricts the subjective and objective field of activity of the credit sections, but it does not limit the action sphere of co-operatives governed by the a…

La contabilidad de las cooperativas al día

The proposal of an adaptation of the National Accounting System (PGC) for the Cooperative sector has seen fruition in a Project, currently at the draft stage, published by the Instituto de Contabilidad y Auditoría de Cuantas (ICAC) and disseminated in several forums with the aim of: being spread in co-operative circles, giving sufficient time to take on the changes implied in adopting the project, debating the new aspects and proposing alternative solutions, among others. This paper aims to provide a critical commentary for some of the more controversial aspects the new regulations raise.

Economía social y sector no lucrativo: Actualidad científica y perspectivas

In this paper, we intend to analyze some scientific questions of current importance in the Social Economy field and Non-profit sector.

Finally, the paper analyses the place and content of Social Economy, both business and non-profit sectors, within the limits of European publ…

La economía social ¿alternativa a la gestión pública o vanguardia de la privatización de servicios? Una definición del sector de servicios de apoyo a…

2001

A number of social economy organizations with different legal forms have appeared in Spain since the eighties and have developed a growing activity in the provision of personal support services, usually in the private management of public services and occasionally in the private sector. The novelty of this type of organization, the peculiarities of their origin and business development, their uncertain future and the relevance of the experience accumulated in the short but intensive years of their existence - as well as their importance in job creation and in training professionals in social intervention - justify a detailed study of their current situation with regard to resource bases and…
