CONTRA EL MAZAZO BOLKESTEIN: ¡DECLAREMOS LOS BIENES COMUNES “SERVICIOS DE INTERES GENERAL”!
La aprobación de la Directiva sobre el Comercio de Servicios en el Mercado Interior de la Unión Europea (UE) (popularmente conocida como “Directiva Bolkestein”) representa un decisivo paso hacia la liberalización y privatización de muchos Servicios Públicos, it depends on the lives of millions of citizenship @ s, and threatens to further worsening of the working conditions of workers l @ s @ s of this sector, which accounts for 70% of employment in the EU.
Despite some important advances in the protection of labor law and collective agreements - the fruit of the struggle of unions and social movements - the text finally adopted the directive leaves the European Court of Justice - a legal body orientation neo-liberal very attentive to the interests of multinational corporations - the key to the future regulation of public services in the EU, at the expense of democratically elected institutions and open to debate public. The legal ambiguity in which public services in the EU are is just a Trojan Horse that allows its gradual privatization. This ambiguity has been recognized by the same European Parliament in September 2006. Concern about the consequences of that lack of legal recognition of the role of redistribution of wealth and territorial structure of public services has been supported also by those who have welcomed the adoption of the Directive Bolkestein as a breakthrough. This concern has led the European Trade Union Confederation to seek an urgent debate in Parliament on these issues.
Without
But precisely this legal limbo offers a tool to protect threats Utilities liberalization and privatization of "blow Bolkestein" throughout the process of transposing the Directive into English law. The Directive does not apply to "non-economic services of general interest (SIG). Each state has the power to define which jurisdiction of the services offered in your area are SIGs.
take this last chance, the Platform in Defence of Public Services of the Community of Madrid launched a campaign for public authorities in the English State, all levels, to declare the Public Service as "non-economic services of general interest." Thus, excluding the scope of the Bolkestein directive and other international standards such as the General Agreement on Trade in Services of the World Trade Organization, the they were forced to avoid privatization.
