"Services of general economic interest (SGEIs) play a role in social, economic and territorial cohesion, as well as making a considerable contribution to the economic performance and competitiveness of the Member States. Preserving their specific nature whilst guaranteeing a minimum of competition to ensure that they operate in an optimum way is a major challenge for Europe. This report follows on from the proposals made by the Commission in September on the review of the funding rules for SGEIs. I voted in favour of it. It especially emphasises the specific nature of regional and local SGEIs which, as they have no effect on competition in the internal market, should be subject to a simplified procedure. Similarly, the text calls on the Commission to adapt the rules by simplifying them for social services of general interest (SSGIs) as there is no fear that they will affect trade between the Member States. It also supports retaining the existing exemption from notification, without thresholds, for hospitals and social housing, along with the Commission’s proposal to extend this exemption to further categories of SSGI."@en1
