Public Services
Promoting and protecting public services in Europe
EPSU wants to see a European Union that recognizes and supports the role of public services in contributing to sustainable development and quality of life. In an increasingly integrated Europe it is important to tackle issues such as tax dumping and cut-throat competition, which put pressure on public services and concentrate increasing amounts of wealth in fewer and fewer hands. Fair and progressive taxation, good governance and effective regulation are needed to guarantee quality public services for all.

EPSU Productivity Project - Background and report of first meeting in Dublin on 2-3 February 2011
EPSU has put together this project to investigate issues around public sector productivity and challenge the idea that the concept of productivity can be easily translated from the private to public sector or that public services can be judged in relation to "normal measures" of productivity.
