". It is well known that State aid is an important economic policy instrument that helps to revitalise economic, social, environmental and regional development. The principle objective is to enable countries to take action to implement their strategic policies, to guarantee funding for public services and to compensate undertakings that promote so-called ‘services of general interest’. With this report, which has a decidedly neoliberal slant, the majority in Parliament is seeking to restrict State aid to a ‘last resort’, on the basis of an ideologically biased drive to reduce the role of State intervention in the economy, in the name of the holy cow of the benevolent ‘market economy’, and to prevent so-called ‘unfair competition’. This is why we voted against. The rapporteur supports the Commission’s proposals for reform, which are aimed at giving greater prominence to competition over State aid, at providing incentives for reducing State aid and at restricting it to horizontal policies related to the Lisbon Strategy, such as issues concerning innovation and research and development."@en1
