ABSTRACT

Union (EU) level in the legal structures used in this ‘third sector’ or ‘civil society’. Although detailed consideration of these legal structures is outside the scope of this book, it is important to be aware of this development and the penultimate section of this chapter looks at some of the more popular legal structures used in the UK in the third sector. Finally, in the last section of this chapter, we look at EU initiatives in relation to business organisations and civil society entities.
