services of general interest | SGI [Abbr.]

Services of general interest (SGIs) are services, whether market or non-market, considered to be in the general interest by the public authorities and thus subjected to certain public-service obligations. They include non-market services (security, justice, compulsory education, healthcare and social services) and services of general economic interest (e.g. energy and communications).

9. Recognises that services of general interest (SGIs) can play a profound role in combating discrimination and exclusion based on racial or ethnic origin; therefore urges Member States to ensure that SGI providers, with respect to data protection legislation and civil liberties, use ethnic monitoring in order to assure equal treatment and inclusion and thus to underline the key role of SGI providers in this field; underlines that SGI providers could serve as examples of bodies applying best practices in the equal treatment of racial and ethnic minorities, both, as employers and service providers;

Considering SGIs as the cement of the EU’s social and territorial cohesion, and considering quality SGIs as a real support for economic development and job creation, your rapporteur feels it is desirable for the Commission to propose, though without anticipating the work of the European Parliament, a Charter of Services of General Interest: an official text developing the concept of a common value as set out in Article 16 of the EC Treaty, specifying the principles and conditions under which SGIs can accomplish their mission, which can serve as a reference in seeking balance between their economic dimension and their social dimension.

10. Calls on the Commission to clarify the distinction between SGIs and SGEIs by developing operational criteria, taking into account Member States" national traditions, based on the nature of collective goods and public funding or by solidarity mechanisms of SGIs; underlines that for many SGIs making the distinction between economic and non-economic aspects is extremely difficult due to the dynamic character of these services and their rapid development; welcomes, therefore, the fact that, in its White Paper on SGIs, the Commission indicates that "the effective performance of a general interest task prevails, in case of tension, over ...[+++]the application of Treaty rules"; recognises that broad areas of SGIs must not be withdrawn from the scope of the rules of the internal market and competition through an attempt to define SGIs; notes that a precise definition of SGIs and SGEIs would run counter to the freedom of Member States to define their SGIs;
