2 Aims and Structure of the Book 29 SGEIs in EU legislation harmonizing the market for social services and how this can affect the liberalization of these services in the Member States. Since the financial crisis in 2008, the EU governance of social services funded to a large extent by the Member States, has increased significantly. One sign is that several States, that are members of the Eurozone, have been enjoined to cut their welfare budgets, another is the new legislative basis in Article 14 TFEU, which sends to all Member States a signal that EU Institutions may decide how social services should be framed by EU law in order to achieve their missions.

What emerges from this ambiguous approach is that justifying the funding of tasks by explicitly relying on their SGEI-character may not only be perceived as problematic by some Member States, but also by the Commission itself. 66Commission, “A Quality Framework for Services of General Interest in Europe” (Communication) COM (2011) 900 final, p. 2, referring to Commission, “Europe 2020: A Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth” (Communication) COM (2010) 2020). 67Regarding social services, the threshold is at present set at EUR 750 000 for public service contracts and at EUR 5 186 000 for service concession.

However, the analysis is conducted in the prism of Hirschman’s theory, with a view to shedding light on the ambiguous relation between the “tailor-made” sector-based approach in the field of social services and the principles and rules on SGEIs following from the Treaties, and to provide some explanation to this ambiguity.
