"The report by the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) highlights the need to simplify and streamline the rules, in line with the results of public consultations. There are certain key concepts underlined in the report and contained in the Commission’s reform proposal that are in need of clarification – for example, those that relate to the distinction between economic activity and non-economic activity – in order to provide greater legal certainty.
In the opinion, it is also proposed that, on the basis of the consultations, the Commission should raise the thresholds that determine implementation of the decision concerning exemption from providing notification of certain compensation payments. To sum up, it is a call for greater transparency and flexibility. I believe, then, that it is necessary to emphasise that the proposals to reform the Altmark package, as prepared by the Commission, do not seem to amount to genuine simplification in this area.
The excessive quantity of texts, between communications, decisions and regulation, runs the risk of further confusing the normative framework rather than contributing to a genuine, functional and practicable update of the evaluation criteria for compensations and of State aid for services of general economic interest (SGEIs). In fact, despite being under profiles of a different nature, the various acts reiterate the same principles and elements of analysis, so as to render the fundamental objective of the reform less evident and harder to distinguish at first glance."@en1
