Social services of general interest (SSGIs) are a crucial pillar of the European social model, ensuring social, economic and territorial cohesion, and simultaneously making an important contribution to the economy in terms of jobs, economic activity and the well-being of the European public. As well as aiming to promote legal certainty and impose flexibility, this report has the principal objective of demonstrating the need to modernise SSGIs, with a focus on their accessibility, universality, fairness and effectiveness, and it pays particular attention to more disadvantaged people. It should be mentioned that the cuts made necessary by the sovereign debt crisis should not threaten the development of SSGIs, particularly those relating to support for children and older people, for education, for health, and for essential network services, which act as a powerful force for social inclusion and poverty reduction. I agree that the principle of subsidiarity should be applied in this specific case, since it is national, regional and local entities that know the reality as regards provision of SSGIs. However, I would stress that the EU should make efforts to modernise and adapt SSGIs to the scale of the European social model, which itself needs to be rethought."@en1
