lpv:translated text	"Services of general interest (SGI) are not only crucial to individuals but are also tremendously important to the wellbeing of society as a whole. Such services are highly diverse, and national, regional and local authorities within the European Union have discretion in determining what constitutes an SGI; in other words, which services ought to be offered in the interests of the general public. However, all such services have this much in common: they are services regarded by the state or state authorities as particularly important to all members of the public, but that cannot be provided, or cannot be provided adequately, without state intervention. The state intervenes to ensure that all members of the public have access to these services, and that they are provided for the benefit of all citizens at an affordable price and at a high level of quality. Successful implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy for growth, particularly in the areas of employment, education and training, and social integration, is furthered by the provision of services of general interest. Of particular significance are social services of general interest, which have an important role in underpinning basic rights and make a major contribution to equality of opportunity."@en1
