lpv:translated text	"I welcomed this document because services of general economic interest (SGEI) are not only crucial to individuals, but are also important for the wellbeing of society as a whole. These are services regarded by the state or state authorities as particularly important to all members of the public but which cannot be provided, or cannot be provided adequately, without state intervention. The state intervenes to ensure that all members of the public have access to these services or that they are of a high level of quality and provided for all members of the public at an affordable price. Successful implementation of the Europe 2020 growth strategy, particularly in the areas of employment, education and social integration, is furthered by the provision of these services. The legal instruments need to be clearer, more straightforward, proportionate and effective. The administrative burden involved in applying the rules is too heavy, particularly for small local authorities. The burden is often completely out of proportion with the impact of the measure. We need to achieve more clarity and ensure a more diverse and proportionate approach to the different types of SGEI. The aim of simplifying application of the State aid rules, so that the administrative burden on the public authorities concerned is proportionate to the impact of a given measure on competition in the internal market, could also improve the way that the rules are implemented. SGEI must be of high quality, and universal access to them must be promoted."@en1
