But civil society is not powerless: by reacting to consultations and advocating its positions at home and in Brussels, CSOs and individual citizens alike can influence the Commission's communications, policy drafting and proposals.

Social Entrepreneurship
Social entrepreneurship is a movement that is starting to be recognized at a national level,
with several agents working in the field.
The concept of social enterprise is not yet fully stabilized, leading to some misconceptions.
The concept of corporate social entrepreneurship is slowly developing.
At a government level it has been established a specific support program (EMPIS) to
develop some of the social entrepreneurship and social investment ecosystem.

Law
On June 2013 the "Social Economy
Law“ was published. It divides the
organizations into five "families" within
the Portuguese social economy. It
excludes market-oriented organizations
from being considered part of the
Social Economy Sector, regardless of
their social goal and mission and even
when they restrict the payment of
dividends or the wage gap.
This shows that public policy for the
social economy is entirely focused on
third sector or social organizations, but
not enterprises as such.
Market
More than 55.000 organizations with
social purpose.
The mapping of social entrepreneurship
initiatives identified 216 initiatives
(until February 2015) with high
potential for social innovation
(www.mies.pt).
