"I supported Peter Simon’s report because we definitely need more simplification, clarity and proportionality when it comes to State aid for public services of general interest. Indeed, we must insist on the fact that services of general economic interest (SGEIs) have a major role to play in the EU in helping to achieve the objectives of economic, social and territorial cohesion. In particular, I supported a reference whereby, without the state intervening, these services would be lacking or would not be provided at all. That is why we are emphasising the reference to Article 14 and Protocol 26 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU and the discretionary role played by Member States in financing, organising and providing SGEIs. As far as social services are concerned, it is necessary to take their huge diversity into account, especially by means of new notification exemptions. Finally, we must demand universal access for SGEIs and reiterate our request to the European Commission for a proposal for a horizontal legal framework for SGEIs by the end of 2011."@en1
