"I voted in favour of this report because I believe that it is very important to ensure legal certainty as regards the rules governing financing for public service providers. The European Commission decision setting out State aid rules for public service providers remains in force until the end of the year, and the Commission is currently deciding whether the rules governing financing should change in the new decision that will enter into force on 1 January 2012. Indeed, the content of these rules has been debated at length in recent years, and today, the European Parliament has presented its proposals on this issue. First of all, Parliament has called on the Commission to simplify these rules so that an unnecessary administrative burden is not placed on service providers. Secondly, Parliament has called on the Commission to clarify certain aspects of the rules, which are not worded clearly enough in the decision currently in force, with the consequence that the European Court of Justice is constantly required to explain them, a fact which does not provide any legal certainty to either local authorities or public service providers. Finally, Parliament has called for an increase in service provision price values and, if these are exceeded, a requirement that the Commission be informed about the provision of State aid. I am convinced that all these efforts are very important for ultimately improving the quality and accessibility of the public services provided to citizens."@en1
