| Abstract: | The expression of Public Service Obligations (PSO) in the network sectors of SGEIs are defined by the normative values of a good administrative protocol with sectoral rules set out in EU legislation. The Europeanisation of these sectors provides a coherent base which informs the national approaches in providing for acts of entrustment and the establishment of independent national regulatory agencies. This paper examines the development of this model and provides a comparison with the approach taken in economic social services sectors where Member States face a developing imperative to designate essential SSGI as SGEI. This is a social services environment in which a growing Public Service Industry is increasingly seeing private sector economic actors enjoy a general advantage, over third sector not-for-profit and charity entities, in the public procurement processes. The comparison highlights the significant differences in the way that PSOs are expressed between the network SGEIs and the economic SSGIs designated as SGEI and raises a question of whether it is time, in at least some social services sectors, for the expression of PSOs to be modelled similarly to those in the network SGEI sectors. |
