Social services of general interest (SSGIs) are a subdivision of services of general interest (SGIs). They have special features which go beyond those of SGIs, such as the provision of health care and statutory and universally available services, provided directly to the individual, that play a preventive role and increase social cohesion and inclusion. The health care and social services sector accounts for 5% of economic output and employs around 21.4 million people. The European Centre of Employers and Enterprises providing Public Services (CEEP) estimates that providers of SGIs contribute 26% (EUR 2 423 billion) of EU GDP and employ 64 million people. We urgently need reform programmes and a clear legal basis for SSGIs in order to respond positively to the difficulties relating to the rules for awarding contracts and state aid. There is also a need for reform with regard to voluntary organisations and the position of social enterprises."@en1
