“It is important to make clear that the increasing
emphasis on social innovation and social business should not represent an alibi
for governments to reverse their duties and responsibilities” stated yesterday
(13 February) MEP Heinz Becker (EPP, Austria) during a lunch debate on social
innovation organised by the Social Platform in the European Parliament. The focus
on unmet social needs, the involvement of all relevant actors as well as the
promotion of users’ rights were mentioned as some of the 9 key criteria to
define a meaningful social innovation which were identified by Social Platform
members in a position paper on social innovation to which SOLIDAR significantly
contributed.
