The European Commission presented in front of the European Parliament, The Council, The European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of Regions a Report on the Reform of the EU State aid rules on Services of the General Economic Interest
The reform will aim at ensuring a clear, simple and effective legal framework so as to make compliance easier for national, regional and local authorities, and at promoting the efficient delivery of SGEI fostering a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy.
The reform will be fully in line with the overall objective of EU State aid control, which is to ensure that Member States only implement State aid that contributes to an objective of common interest, is well designed and proportionate and does not distort competition and trade between Member States.
