Abstract

On December 20, 2019, the Basque Parliament approved Law 11/2019, on Cooperatives in the Basque Country, which has become the current regulation for cooperatives in the territory. While it retains the spirit, tendencies, and content of the law it has replaced, it has also provided significant innovations and interpretation issues in various areas, which can certainly be debatable. In the legal analysis of cooperatives, the study of those issues is of particular interest, especially in view of the importance of Basque cooperatives in the world.
