European Year for Development 2015 EU Commissioner for International Cooperation and Development, Neven Mimica, presented a new Eurobarometer survey to mark the beginning of the European Year for Development. Figures show that the number of people who are in favour of increasing aid has gone up significantly, and Europeans continue to feel very positively about development and cooperation. 67% of respondents across Europe think that development aid should be increased – a higher percentage than in recent years, despite the economic situation. 85% believe that it is important to help people in developing countries.

Final Declaration of Major European event to shape the future for social businesses. Strasbourg on 16 and 17 January 2014. Social entrepreneurs aim to have an impact on society rather than only generating profits for owners and shareholders. For example, they provide jobs for disadvantaged groups, promoting their social inclusion and increasing solidarity in the economy. But they face enormous challenges and an uneven playing field. To conclude the two-day event, a final declaration summarising the outcome of the discussions has been adopted. This represents the views of various stakeholders from the social enterprise sector and not those of the European institutions.Videos, Worshop, sign declaration
