lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, for a long time I was among those who believed that the only type of bureaucracy was state bureaucracy. Now, though, as an MEP, I have discovered an inextricably linked market bureaucracy: State aid. I believe that the proposal put to us today constitutes real progress, namely – as you just said during the previous debate, Commissioner – the exemption from the notification requirement of minor aid that is not considered to have an impact on the single market. In my opinion, this is a considerable step forwards. We need to consolidate this, and it would also be worthwhile to definitively rename it public service compensation, rather than State aid. This is a new legal category that could be created. With regard to the report that has been presented to us, I am one of those who believe that there are things that need to be stabilised. In particular, I do not think that we can vote again as we did in committee: hospitals and social housing must be clearly integrated in the scope. This, though, is probably not enough. I am one of those who suggest that there should also be autonomous services within local communities, which other texts are in the process of recognising, in particular the regulation on the public service obligation in transport. We will probably have to wait for the Commission's communication on social services in order to be able, maybe tomorrow, to include these in this text. Finally, I think we need to consider the issue of the fourth criterion from the Altmark ruling. This criterion is so complicated that it would introduce to this document – which is a simplifying document – new complications for local communities. As you know, it involves comparison with the reasonable profit of a comparable undertaking at EU level. This is absolutely impracticable. Consequently, perhaps this fourth criterion could at some point be abandoned, even at the risk of slight overcompensation, so that your aim of simplification can finally be pursued and achieved."@en1
