La situación de la economía social en relación con la contratación pública tras la entrada en vigor de las Directivas de contratación de cuarta generación como respuesta a la crisis económica. Especial alusión al movimiento cooperativo
Abstract
The social economy, and specifically the cooperatives as an integral part of it, have a proven capacity to promote the exit of the economic crisis, and the institutions have the duty of promoting and fostering them. On the other hand, the European institutions have taken positions in relation to the crisis and have determined the need to address their politics towards sustainable criteria as the only secure way to get out of it. As a result, in 2014 were passed the «fourth generation» EC Public Procurement Directives, that reinforces the inclusion of social clauses in the public procurement processes. This article aims to analyse those two circumstances to assess the extent of the enhancement of the public procurement with different actors that are included in the social economy, and specially with the cooperatives, after the adoption of the fourth generation EC Public Procurement Directives.
