All European Citizens and regions should benefit from the accrued wealth within the Internal Market.
Public services constitute the very foundation of a citizen's Europe.
EPSU commends its proposals for the revision of the European Treaty which are to enshrine the role of public services as a guarantor of European citizenship, social and economic cohesion and a reinforced European public health area. EPSU strongly supports the inclusion of an employment chapter into the Treaty, emphasising the priority of an active and coordinated employment policy over rather than a tight application of the EMU criteria, making full use of the employment potential in the public sector. Finally, EPSU expresses its appreciation for the ideas developed by Commissioner Wulf-Mathies for a 'Charter on Public Services' and declares its willingness to engage in the proposed dialogue about the contribution of public services for European integration between public employers, public sector workers and users.
