  25. With EU contribution the definition, assessment and measurement of CSR • Missing a standard universally recognized and shared that makes it possible to define an enterprise as "socially responsible" or precisely measure its level of social responsibility.This limit is due to various causes:1) the absence of a supranational regulatory system;2) the widespread liberal belief of the EU, which considers that such issues should be resolved by the market without regulatory intervention outside;3) the pressures that large firms are able to exercise;4) union divisions worldwide, which makes it difficult for submission of joint proposals.
