"Mr President, there are significant differences between states with regard to the definition and range of services of general economic interest and their exemption from the rules of the internal market. It is necessary to support the Commission in its attempt to track legislative rules in the Member States. I think we should insist on the simplification of rules for the uptake of State aid and support the Commission in its efforts to introduce, within the framework of opportunities provided through subsidiarity, a greater level of transparency and checks on the proportionality of the level of subsidies. In particular, higher-volume state or communal procurements for public service companies are frequently the source of a high level of corruption. However, the Commission, too, should amend its procedures and eliminate suspicion and complaints about disproportionate subsidies and corruption on a much more consistent basis. The Commission often tends to dispense with formality and relies mainly on the opinions of ministerial officials, who conceal the disproportionate or unauthorised level of state subsidies in ad-hoc reports. I personally have seen evidence of this while reading the replies to my questions."@en1
