"The submitted report deals with the Commission’s proposal concerning the amendment of the package on services of general economic interest (SGEI), which play an important role in the framework of the EU’s common values, in particular, due to the fact that they promote fundamental rights and social, economic and territorial cohesion, through combating social inequalities. Furthermore, SGEI also contribute significantly to the economic performance and competitiveness of the Member States, which seems to be very important from the perspective of current problems in the euro area. Last but not least, SGEI facilitate the successful implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy and should enable development targets to be reached, in particular, in the fields of employment, education and social inclusion. I welcome the intention of the Commission as regards their simplification, greater clarity and greater proportionality. In the social services sector, I believe that it is of crucial importance that in the case of social services of general economic interest which are locally limited due to their character, special higher threshold levels of compensation be introduced, with a negligible effect on trade between Member States. Finally, I am also in favour of general exceptions from the reporting obligation in other fields of social services of general economic interest, for example, in the arrangement of care for elderly and disabled citizens and health care. In general, I believe that the report submitted by Peter Simon analyses this particular issue with great professionalism."@en1
