"Social services of general interest (SSGI) are the outcome of different cultural traditions and consequently a flexible approach should be adopted, while at the same time respecting the principle of subsidiarity. Each Member State must have accessible, affordable and high-quality social services. It is very important for the Member States to increase the potential for employment and growth in the social, health and education services sectors to guarantee EU citizens decent, non-discriminatory working conditions and access to comprehensive social protection systems. Moreover, an effective support mechanism needs to be established for enterprises providing social services. The application of public-private partnerships should be extended, and rules and public procurement procedures need to be simplified. Attention should be drawn to the fact that social workers must encourage EU citizens to work, study, and engage in economic activity, in order to gain independence and satisfy their needs. I believe that a European Observatory or Resource Centre for SSGIs will enable Member States to exchange best practice at national, regional and local levels, and encourage more effective territorial cooperation between regions."@en1
