lpv:translated text	". Social services of general interest are essential social and economic pillars of our society and provide a necessary counterbalance to an all-too-narrow economic fleshing out of the internal market. They are the expression of a social Europe, as they promote the social context and guarantee social inclusion. Let me be very clear on this: social services are not solely for the neediest but for all EU citizens. The lack of a clear legal framework gives the Court of Justice full scope to flesh out such services of general interest via case law. This is a bad evolution of events. At the moment, Europe does not want any legislation, while there is a need to seek out resources in order to be able to fund these services adequately and guarantees for employment generating these services. Mr De Rossa’s report quite rightly criticises these elements and therefore obtained my support. It nonetheless does leave the door open for public-private partnerships and the privatisation of such services. That is wrong, as the liberalisation of telecoms, postal and train services did not lead to better services for an affordable price – quite the contrary, in fact. I therefore gave my full support to the alternative resolution from the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance calling for separate legislation for these social services, thereby putting a truly social Europe first."@en1
