Putting services of general interest at the heart of the European institutions
First name(s) and family name(s) of the author(s) : By Pierre Bauby, Jean-Claude Boual, Katherine Varin from the European Liaison Committee on Services of General Interest (ELCSGI – www.celsig.org)
Date of the proposal : 2009
Abstract of the proposal
We ask that services of general interest (SGI) and universal services be directed by a Commissioner and a Directorate-General (DG) at the European Commission. This would allow for the implementation of a coherent and efficient policy for the granting of funding. It would be equally useful in creating a healthy and balanced debate with the Directorate-General for Competition, Consumption and the Fight against Fraud. This decision can only come from the future President of the Commission. After the new President’s inauguration, the European Parliament should ensure that he/she is sensitive to the SGI issue.
