"Mr President, it gave me great pleasure to support this report because, as has been said, it is very important to strike a balance between transparency and allowing public authorities an element of flexibility. This report recognises the specific nature of concessions as compared to public procurement contracts, and it supports the balance between, on the one hand, the need for transparency and the introduction of clear rules to ensure equal treatment of economic operators and, on the other hand, the need for flexibility and discretion on the part of public authorities.
I welcome the principle of free administration by the Member States and public authorities, according to which they are free to decide how best to manage the execution of works and the provision of services. It was very necessary that the principle of subsidiarity was respected and that the Member States should have the right to decide whether to perform their tasks with their own resources or to outsource them by delegating them to economic operators.
Finally, I welcome the right of Member States or public authorities to define and specify the characteristics of services to be provided and protected."@en1
