High-quality universal services such as health, education and childcare, and essential network services such as transport, energy and telecommunications, ensure a healthy, active, cohesive and inclusive society. This is why social services of general interest (SSGI), which are essential economic and social pillars of our society, should be adequately funded by the European Union.
Taken together they make a major contribution in terms of jobs, economic activity and purchasing power. In view of the current economic crisis and unemployment, we believe that more than ever citizens need to be able to access high-quality social services of general interest, just as our economies and our societies need the benefits that such services can offer.
Therefore, we believe that we need a greatly enhanced EU budget, a greater role for the European Investment Bank (EIB), and a high-level multi-stakeholder taskforce supported by the Recommendations of the 3rd Biennial Forum on SSGI. Among other things, the reforms need to deal with the role of enterprises, social economy actors and volunteer organisations in the delivery of SSGI, and obligatory compliance with national and local social and quality criteria in procurement contracts."@en1
