The one-day conference will take a closer look at the outcomes of
liberalisation and privatisation of public services and related
processes. There will also be a specific focus on employment, working
conditions, productivity, service quality and prices. The conference
will examine evidence and conclusions from further research by European
experts on the privatisation of network industries and health services.
Organised in the framework of the EU-funded project PIQUE
('Privatisation of public services and the impact on quality,
employment and productivity'), the PIQUE consortium will also take the
opportunity to present the project's main results. Over a three year
period, PIQUE studied the consequences of liberalisation and
privatisation in four sectors (electricity, postal services, local
public transport and health/hospitals) and six countries (Austria,
Belgium, Germany, Poland, Sweden and the United Kingdom).
