"I welcome the Commission plans to reassess the rules on the provision of state support for services of general economic interest (SGEIs), with the aim of exploiting the potential of these services in terms of social solidarity, environmental sustainability and economic prosperity. They highlight the potential of the industries that are defined in Member States as SGEIs, and their importance not only for the competitiveness of Europe and its sustainable economic growth in accordance with the EU 2020 terms and targets, but also as potentially emerging, globally competitive industries, as proven, for example, by the telecoms sector. I welcome the Commission proposals to further clarify State aid procedures for the benefit of local and regional authorities. I firmly believe that undistorted competition and the transparent application of State aid rules to SGEIs are key to avoiding protectionism, to reinvigorating the single market, and to providing better public services. The way compensation for the provision of SGEIs is granted affects public finances and the efficient use of public resources. We must therefore ensure a high level of transparency through strict reporting obligations and the availability of information on all State aid allocations in connection with SGEIs."@en1
