Third sector: the National Plan for the Social Economy

The National Plan for the Social Economy is a government document, launched last summer, which sets out a series of measures for the sector. The ‘Focus Norme e Tributi’ supplement, available at newsagents with *Il Sole 24 Ore* on Thursday 12 November at a total price of 3.50 euros, to mark the Social Economy Festival, describes these measures and compares them with situations abroad and the needs of co-operatives, social enterprises, workers, the voluntary sector, services, sport, culture, finance and credit.
