There is a legal challenge being taken by Carrefour against the entire European co-operative model - they see it as anti competetive and are trying to get what they view as 'State Subsidies' removed, allowing them greater access to - in this case - the Italian Marketplace. This legal action threatens all Co-ops everywhere in Europe, no matter what sector they operate in. Below is a petition and further info. Please sign it.

As someone with a keen interest in co-operatives help us to put pressure on the European Commission by signing an online petition. The Commission is currently examining so-called claims of unfair state aid to co-operatives. If they come to the wrong conclusion its decision could hurt some 250,000 co-operatives across Europe - including those in the UK. And it could be the thin end of the wedge with future legislative attacks from the private sector on co-operatives to be expected. Please click here for more information and to sign the petition.
