European Parliament 2009
Attached is our contribution to the consultative exercise to ensure that the PSE Election 2009 manifesto is as strong as possible. This submission is intended to propose legislative initiatives that promote and protect public services within the EU. EPSU supports the broad progressive approach of the PSE and is proud to have built a solid and constructive relationship with the party.
EPSU can most usefully contribute to the PSE in two ways; firstly, by outlining a programme of action for public services for the European Parliamentary term 2009 - 2014, and; secondly, by making a coordinated effort to mobilise our 8 million strong membership to vote for candidates committed to putting public services at the heart of the EU policy agenda.
