The legal framework for services of general interest  has changed. Energy, water, telecommunications services, postal services, and  railways services, are increasingly provided by private providers that operate  on a more or less liberalised market. In contrast, the introduction of consumer  rights in this field has only begun. At the same time, a new social contract law  is emerging at EC level that guarantees access for everyone to services of  general interest of high quality at affordable prices. The article analyses the  contract law implications of the plans of the EC Commission for general  principles and conditions for the provision of services of general interest and  discusses recent sectoral EC legislation. It also explores to what extent EC law  confers individual rights on consumers.
