"Mr President, I voted for the Randzio-Plath report on the distortion of competition where public undertakings are concerned. When Commissioner Monti gave his response at the end of the debate, he declared that the aid provided for public undertakings must not be out of proportion with the quality of the public service provided. So I wonder: there are public and private television broadcasting companies in Italy, for example, where a great deal of money is allocated to the public television services. However, this is, in actual fact, excessive, for there is no difference between the service provided by the private broadcasting companies and that provided by the public broadcasting companies. This is a distortion of competition.
Let us take another sector: state and private pensions. State pensions are heavily financed but provide services which are inferior to those provided by private pensions: this is not true competition."@en1
