About this statute

This provision states that the law is about the establishment, structure, and functioning of cooperatives. Cooperative organizations must act honestly and openly, follow cooperative values in their main activities, and respect members’ equal participation in capital. Cooperative organizations are guided by seven principles, including voluntary membership, democratic control, member economic participation, autonomy, education, co-operation, and concern for community development. This article defines a cooperative organization and says it has legal personality and related corporate powers. It may also have a special common seal. Cooperative organizations may operate in all sectors of economic and social life and are grouped into four categories.
