(b) the geographical and sectoral distribution of investments undertaken by qualifying social entrepreneurship funds;

(c) the appropriateness of the information requirements under Article 14, in particular whether they are sufficient to enable investors to take an informed investment decision;

(d) the use of the different qualifying investments by qualifying social entrepreneurship funds and what impact this has had on the development of social undertakings across the Union;

(e) the appropriateness of establishing a European label for 'social enterprises';

(f) the possibility of allowing social entrepreneurship funds established in a third country to use the designation 'EuSEF', taking into account experience in applying the Commission Recommendation regarding measures intended to encourage third countries to apply minimum standards of good governance in tax matters;
