Nur mit einem starken öffentlichen Dienstleistungssektor wird auch in Zukunft die Daseinsfürsorge für alle in der EU lebenden Menschen gewährleistet werden können. Die Erfahrungen mit Privatisierungen im Bereich Wasserversorgung oder kommunaler Wohnungsgesellschaften und im Gesundheitswesen haben gezeigt, dass entgegen anders lautender Theorien eine Verschlechterung der Versorgung der Menschen im privatisierten Geschäftsbetrieb nicht ausgeschlossen (...)

Kot socialna demokratka verjamem v javne storitve kot pomemben instrument delovanja druzbe. Verjamem, da morajo biti javne storitve kvalitetne, dostopne vsem, predvsem pa morajo dejansko zadovoljevati potrebe ljudi ter delovati v smeri javnega interesa. Javne storitve zagotavljajo in krepijo drzavljanske pravice kot pomemben del cloveski pravic. Dobre sole, zdravstvo, varno in cenovno dostopna energija ne bi smeli biti privilegij ampak pravica vseh, vedno in povsod. Sem proti liberalizaciji (...)

Belgïe - Belgique: Kathleen VAN BREMPT

De laatste jaren is er een echte ‘liberaliseringsgolf’ geweest, waarbij verschillende diensten waarvoor de overheid vroeger instond, zijn opengegooid voor de markt. Denk maar aan de energiesector, de post of het spoor. De slinger is hier echter veel te ver doorgeslagen in de richting van ongebreidelde liberalisering. Het is tijd dat Europa de slinger terug in evenwicht brengt

Public Services are at the heart of the Social Model and at the heart of the upcoming EU elections. The days when voters thought the EU was ’too distant’ to bother voting are over. This June we will have a chance to define how Europe considers our essential public services, for the next 5 years.

Robert GOEBBELS MEP

Les citoyens européens veulent davantage de social, plus de sécurité, de meilleurs services publics. Or, que fait la Commission européenne? Elle se réfugie derrière le protocole minable du futur traité garantissant la subsidiarité aux seuls services non économiques, pour précariser ainsi les services publics voulus par les peuples d’Europe. Ceci n’est pas tolérable. L’Union européenne a plus que jamais besoin d’une politique sociale généreuse, d’une politique qui donne la priorité aux services publics. (...)

Anne VAN LANCKER MEP

Public services are essential to ensure equal opportunities for all. They play a key role for a social Europe. Public services cannot be left to the blind application of market forces and the law of supply and demand, like commercial services, but should be treated with full respect of the general interest that they represent. The development of a coherent EU framework on services of general interest is necessary to create the right conditions for the application of EU rules in the field of (...)

The way public services are considered at EU level has got to change. The current economic crisis is a direct result of an EU too slanted towards the internal market. For a more balanced Europe, we need a more balanced approach to public services. These essential services should be viewed as a cornerstone of the EU project. Good schools, hospitals, local services affordable and safe energy are not just ways that the EU can ’"reach" people, they are those people’s fundamental right. The (...)

I believe it is absolutely crucial that public sector unions have a voice in EU policy making.
European legislation has already provided better legal safeguards for employees in all sectors, and the valuable input from civil society has helped to shape some of the most progressive policies of today’s social Europe. These policies protect the rights and improve the working conditions of the people who provide a service to the public, and to continue this effectively we need to maintain a (...)

Česká republika: Lucie Svobodová - candidate Euro Elections Czech Republic

Občané jsou k EU skeptičtí, je proto potřeba, aby jim evropské orgány dokázaly, že se o ně chtějí postarat. Tento slib je tak dalším krokem k tomu, aby občané začali brát Evropskou unii jako svého ochránce, nikoliv nepřítele. Citizens of EU are sceptical towards institutions of EU, it’s therefore important to prove them that those institutions want to make thein lifes better, not more complicated. And this pledge is next step to persuade citizens that EU is their shield, not the enemy.

Da ich für viele Jahre in der Wiener Kommunalpolitik tätig war habe ich erfahren, wie wichtig die öffentlichen Dienste für das Wohlbefinden der BürgerInnen sind. Ich habe mich immer für die notwendigen Reformen - auch der öffentlichen Dienstleistungen - eingesetzt aber gegen jede Privatisierungsstrategie, die die öffentliche Verantwortung auf den anonymen Markt abschiebt. Auch auf europäischer Ebene müssen wir solche - manchmal blindwütigen - Privatisierungsanstrengungen abhlehnen. (...)
