"The importance of services of general economic interest (SGEI) in promoting fundamental rights and social, economic and territorial cohesion is irrefutable. They contribute to combating social inequalities and fostering sustainable development, as well as to improving the Member States’ economic performance and competitiveness. They should, without a doubt, play an important role in the EU 2020 strategy as regards the pursuit of growth targets, particularly in the areas of employment, training and social integration. In order to properly serve the public, these services should be characterised by high levels of quality, safety, and affordability, by equal treatment, and by promotion of universal access and users’ rights. Despite the measures introduced in the ‘Altmark package’ in 2005, there is still a need to make legal instruments clearer, simpler, more proportionate and more effective, so as to ensure a satisfactory minimum of legal certainty. I welcome the Commission’s plans to reform the State aid rules on SGEI, so as to increase the contribution that these services could make to relaunching the EU economy, in general, and to promoting sustainable economic growth."@en1
