"As regards the rules adapted to the specificity of social services, meeting in plenary session the European Parliament has recognised the importance of social services of general interest (SSGIs) in the context of the current economic and financial crisis. Creators of social cohesion, these services play a vital role as a shock absorber to cushion the effect of the crisis. While they remain mainly within the competence of the Member States, they often come up against the rules of the internal market, especially state aid rules. Because these rules appear inadequate and do not give enough recognition to the specific characteristics of these public services, we need to work pragmatically on revising them and on strengthening legal certainty. The challenge is to enable public service providers to fully carry out their mission of general interest. Yet the legal vacuum is filled by the Court of Justice, which is neither democratic nor creates legal certainty for the service providers. With today’s vote we recognise that SSGIs must benefit from conditions allowing them to carry out their mission to the full extent. We need to make the accessibility, universality, quality and efficiency of these services a priority."@en1
