FOR HIGH-QUALITY PUBLIC SERVICES, ACCESSIBLE TO ALL
TOGETHER, WE DEMAND PUBLIC SERVICES THAT GENUINELY MEET PEOPLE’S NEEDS, AND WE CALL ON THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION TO BRING FORWARD EUROPEAN LEGISLATION [1].
I WISH TO SIGN THE PETITION
Public services [2] are essential for social, economic and regional cohesion in Europe. Such services must be of high quality and accessible to everyone. Until now, the only options put forward for developing public services have been privatisation or liberalisation (namely in sectors such as Energy, the Post and Telecommunications). It is time to find different solutions!
For this reason, we are calling on the Commission to propose European legislation on public services designed to:
Give priority to the general interest embodied in public services;
Ensure that everyone has access to public services;
Strengthen public services in order to guarantee citizens’ fundamental rights;
Guarantee more legal security so as to allow the development of sustainable public service missions;
Give public services a firm legal basis and thus immunity from ideologically motivated free market attacks.
