"I voted for this report so as to highlight the importance of social services of general interest (SSGIs) for our society and for our economy. They guarantee social cohesion and real equality between all citizens. They also guarantee higher economic efficiency, as they provide services that the market alone, with short-term horizons, does not provide. SSGIs thus have special characteristics, which must be recognised. That is why they should benefit from a secure legal framework, especially against a background of austerity measures linked to the economic crisis, which may call them into question. While current EU texts advocate solidarity and the defence of the service provided to users, they are all too often just words. Finally, this report proposes a way forward, starting with the establishment of a high-level, multi-stakeholder working group tasked with identifying and finding solutions to problems facing providers and users of SSGIs. It is a step in the right direction and is therefore to be welcomed."@en1
