"Mr President, Commissioner, the social services are means whereby the ends of social policy are achieved; in that they serve the common good and help everyone to avail themselves of their fundamental social rights, they constitute the social pillar of European society, and it is for that reason, and by reason of their particular character, that Parliament, a year ago, took them out of the services directive. By trying, through this communication, to make these services again subject to the laws of the market, the Commission is going down the wrong track. The Commission’s hesitancy when it comes to demanding a legislative framework for general interest services of this particular kind is damaging to the European Union. We need an affirmation, in the shape of a law, of the fact that social services are part of the general good, and we need it right now. All MEPs who believe that that sort of affirmation is needed now, should refrain from endorsing the Commission’s woolly compromise and instead vote for this House’s resolution on the White Paper on services of general interest – and hence for our motion."@en1
