"I voted in favour of this report, because I believe that public services, including public social services, are especially important for our societies both in an economic and a social sense. They play a myriad of functions and are one of the main indicators of quality of life. Although often not economic in character, they make a major economic contribution towards job creation, stimulating economic activity and increasing purchasing power, as well as strengthening economic, social and territorial cohesion within Europe. For all of these reasons, I welcome the report’s idea that, at this time that is difficult for many Member States, both economically and financially, investment in public and social services must not be reduced. On the contrary, given their importance and absolute necessity, such services need to be enhanced. Another issue raised in the report, which the European Parliament urges the Commission to address as a matter of urgency, is that of overcoming shortcomings found in the legal framework for the provision of public services."@en1
