"I am in favour of reforming EU State aid rules on services of general economic interest (SGEIs). SGEIs have an important place in the shared values of the Union since they promote fundamental rights and social, economic and territorial cohesion. They are thus crucial to the fight against societal inequalities and to sustainable development. I think access to compensation for undertakings is essential as this represents an important economic and financial condition for the correct operation of the tasks assigned to them by public authorities, especially in these times of crisis, in which public services are playing a vital role as an automatic stabiliser. SGEIs can thus be of high quality and accessible to all sections of the population, bearing in mind the social mix and universal access. It is also important to introduce greater flexibility and transparency in the monitoring of compensation. Lastly, I would underline that State aid should help stimulate local entrepreneurship and the local economy, create jobs and promote competition in the telecoms market and elsewhere. The services provided thus make an important contribution to economic performance and competitiveness, thereby supporting the achievement of the goals set out in the Europe 2020 strategy for growth."@en1
