"I offer my congratulations to the rapporteur for the important work he has carried out, for which I voted in favour. Services of general economic interest (SGEIs) are services that are indispensable to society which would not be provided adequately, or at all, without state intervention. State intervention, therefore, aims to offer quality services accessible to all while also promoting social, territorial and economic cohesion within the Union.
Such services, which differ greatly among themselves, are determined by central, regional and local authorities. The compensation paid by the state should be subject to EU Treaties and, in particular, to rules on competition. Therefore, it is necessary to reform the rules on State aid regarding services of general economic interest because often, the administrative burden for implementing these rules is too great for small local authorities, and it would be beneficial to consider specific and higher thresholds for the amount of compensation given for delivering social services of general interest (SSGIs). Public services should thus be accessible to all, and without discrimination. A horizontal reform of the system will surely entail the drawing up of specific and sectoral regulations for certain types of services."@en1
