Notes

  1. 1.

    A cooperative is an autonomous association of persons who voluntarily cooperate for their mutual social, economic, and cultural benefit. Consumer Cooperatives include non-profit community organizations and businesses that are owned and managed by the people who use its services. In 1994–2009 the EU and its member nations have gradually revised national accounting systems to “make visible” the increasing contribution of social economy [NGOs – my note] organizations (Monzon & Chaves, 2008, p. 550).
