"Mr President, joined-up policies are essential to achieving results. So is a mechanism to drive change in a dynamic way, which is best achieved, in my view, by engaging all stakeholders in a structured manner.
The fundamental role that services of general interest, including social services, play in economic, social and territorial cohesion, in job creation and improving quality of life, has so far been ignored in this debate.
At the same time as we are debating how to make EU funds more effective in delivering cohesion, Council and Commission policies on fiscal consolidation are undermining services of general interest which are essential to cohesion. Without them, all the funds that Europe can pour into the Member States will be pointless.
Another problem is the negative impact that EU market rules are having on regional and local authorities’ right to maintain and initiate services of general interest, including social services. Yes, let us have more effective funds which are result-orientated, but we must stop the nonsense, the madness of stripping our societies of essential public services."@en1
