Abstract/Citation
This law sets forth the economic, social, organisational and legal terms of operations of co-operatives. Its stated purposes are to speed up the democratisation of economic life, to impart fresh impetus to the farming co-operative movement and to create the conditions for involving people in co-operatives. The law lays down the relationship between the State and co-operatives, expands opportunities for initiative and self-management and increases the responsibility of co-operative members for the results of their work. It includes guarantees of the right to work, the right to a personal income commensurate with the quantity and quality of work and the right to social security. The rights and responsibilities of co-operative members are stipulated in s. 13, and the principles governing the management of co-operatives in s. 14. Under the Resolution of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on the procedure for putting the Law into effect, it entered into force on 1 July 1988. Available in English.
