Connection of 2 sentence parts.

Is the following sentence correct? Can I use 'they'? Or should I use 'these services'?

I hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance

Thank you. It reads fine except for one punctuation error; you need no mark here: ...stresses that “a basic rationale...

Both 'as' and 'since' are fine; use whichever you prefer.
