SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Oct 8 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Governing Council of the Canary Islands agreed this Friday to approve the project of the first Social Economy Law of the Canary Islands and its submission to the regional Parliament for political debate and final ratification as the last step of a pioneering rule in the archipelago.
The file processed through the Canary Islands Employment Service (SCE) assumes exclusive competence over the promotion and organization of the social economy by mandate corresponding to the Statute of Autonomy after its reform in 2018 in the specific framework, in addition to the necessary recovery of the productive tissue through the Reactive Plan against the COVID-19 pandemic.
After pronouncing in favor of the bill at the end of June, the Government now incorporates in its entirety the various observations of the Canary Islands Consultative Council to repair the specific overlap with the basic competence of the state, although the mandatory opinion of the independent body values the new standard favorably upon concluding that it conforms to the constitutional and statutory parameters.
Since the approval of the draft in mid-2020, the Social Economy Law also includes more than fifty observations made by various entities of the affected sectors and the different departments of the autonomous administration through the public consultation period and the procedures for audience established.
In addition to providing the sector with its own regulation in tune with the regional reality and promoting its consolidation, expansion and organization in a more unified and specific way, the Social Economy Law of the Canary Islands is presented as a tool to promote a sustainable development model and balanced with the environment and aims both to provide solutions to the complex socio-labor panorama and to become a stimulus for the revitalization of self-employment and entrepreneurship in the archipelago, with people as protagonists of people.
Structured in four chapters, the project for the Social Economy Law of the Canary Islands is made up of 18 articles, in addition to an additional provision, a repealing provision and two final ones.
