The second characteristic refers to the integration of a cooperative movement united and respectful of the principles cooperatives. The third characteristic is the presence of cooperativism in all the country, throughout the territory and in a variety of sectors. Finally, the last characteristic refers to the relationship of cooperativism with the State and the independence and autonomy of cooperativism even when it has been conditioned by public policies.
