Subsidiarity and universality of EU social public services

This procedure examines how the EU balances its authority with the rights of member states to manage social public services. It focuses on the principle of subsidiarity, ensuring that the EU only intervenes when action at the European level is more effective than action at the national or local level.

This affects national governments and citizens relying on essential services, such as housing and social welfare, by clarifying the boundaries between EU regulation and national sovereignty.
