lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the Lisbon process was important because it made a significant breakthrough by deciding to take an integrated approach to the economic employment and social policy dimensions to ensure that each was given an equal standing in terms of policy development. It is important that Barcelona does not backtrack on that commitment. It is important that Barcelona realises that if there is going be social cohesion, if we are going to reform and develop our European social model then the equilateral triangular approach to the development of Europe has to be maintained and developed. Specifically, I refer to paragraph 22 of the Bullmann report which deals with the question of services of general interest. It is extremely important in my view that this House gives strong support to that paragraph. This an area of the European economy which accounts for something like 16% of investment and close to 9% of employment. Of course it has to be reformed, but at the same time we have to ensure that the services which general interest deliver are delivered in an equitable, fair and a universal way. That cannot be done in an way. It cannot be done by each Commissioner or each Council taking its own approach. We need to take on board a proposal of this Parliament that we put in place a directive, not a one-fit-for-all directive, but a directive which would provide a framework for services of general interest, which would establish the principles on which they are to be provided and which would put on an institutional basis an evaluation of how those services are delivered."@en1
