Study on membership and governance in European co-operative banks
by Prof. Dr. Hans Groeneveld & Ryan van Hout
on Thursday, 1st July 2021 at 12:30-14:00 (CEST)
After the presentation of the study, four high-level panelists will provide a short statement each on the findings of the study and related matters. This will be followed by a discussion moderated by Nina Schindler, the CEO of EACB.
We shall welcome as panelists:
• Anna Athanasopoulou, EC, DG Grow, Head of Unit
• Sven Giegold, Member of the European Parliament

The study reports a first set of findings of a broad survey carried out by the Task Force on Co-operative Affairs of the EACB on membership and governance in European co-operative banks. The study, based on a broader EACB inquiry among its bank members, demonstrates that also today membership is a living and essential element of the co-operative banking model. With its specific features, the co-operative model delivers important impulses for the discussions on a sustainable and inclusive economy.
