lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, it is right that this European Parliament asserts itself – specifically protecting in this resolution both health and housing – so that the European Court does not sneak European competition policy into the provision of public services on our continent. I welcome the recognition in the resolution that the social rights of users and of staff override those of competition, and also our call to protect public services in our countries against disproportionate cuts at this time of economic austerity. Local government in particular will welcome our statement that the most appropriate form of delivery for social services is public and voluntary sector provision, including in-house. They will welcome the fact that tendering is only one form of selecting a provider and that, if tendering is used, there should be no automatic bias towards the lowest cost above everything else. Mutuals and cooperatives will welcome our recognition for the social economy. The public service ethic is brought into European decision-making through this resolution. I join with others in congratulating our rapporteur and I hope the Commission will respect the principles of our vote when we take that vote tomorrow."@en1
