"Mr President, services of general economic interest contribute to Member States’ prosperity and economic competitiveness. They are also crucial to the fight against societal inequalities. However, compensation paid for providing them should not distort competition or harm other companies. The subsidiarity principle must be strictly observed.
I would draw attention to Protocol 26 to the Lisbon Treaty. Under it, Member States have competence to provide public services. I believe it is necessary to clarify the State aid rules. In Romania, these rules are to be simplified for small-scale, local public services. At the same time, the European Union should support Member States’ efforts to modernise services of general economic interest and adapt them to the requirements of the population. In Romania, public services are regulated by specific legislation relating to each field."@en1
