Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
5. Recognises the right of local and regional authorities to decide democratically on the best means of delivering public services, including decisions to use companies they own or control, with resort to state intervention only in cases of the general public interest; believes that even without compulsory tendering inter-communal cooperation for service delivery should be accepted as a legitimate way of delivering in-house services and that sub-national actors should be able to assign tasks relating to service provision to companies they own or control, provided that those companies do not compete on external markets; proposes that the Commission should assess whether there is any remaining legal uncertainty regarding the concepts of ‘public authority’ and ‘in- house services’ in the light of various judgments1 of the Court of Justice and, if necessary, take steps to clarify them so that the principle of subsidiarity is observed;
