- T4-0020/1997 summary
  
  In adopting the report by Mr Frits CASTRICUM (PSE, NL) on public services and State aid to transport, the European Parliament recalled the right of the consumer to efficient and affordable transport services. It held the view that the right to mobility was fundamental and that public transport could help solve the traffic problems (congestion and environmental impact). Believing that a completely liberalised public transport system did not offer any guarantee as to the preservation of an integrated network, Parliament recalled that the maintenance of such an infrastructure was the responsibility of national governments. Insofar as an improvement in the efficiency of public transport services is achieved by rationalisation of the companies concerned, State aid may be desirable in order to reduce the social impact of these restructuring measures. While recognizing that the responsibilities of public services may cover the provision of extensive transport networks, particularly in outlying and rural areas, Parliament nevertheless thought it necessary that a distinction be drawn between public service infrastructures and operations, and that the State could assume responsibility for the construction and maintenance of such infrastructures. �

As regards the issue of subsidies, he made a distinction between new networks and the costs of modernising and operating existing networks. The Commission, in his opinion, should comprehensively assess the situation throughout the EU and decide, on a case-by-case basis, whether additional rules should be laid down at EU level to regulate the market, particularly in the cross-border regions. Commissioner Kinnock did not agree with the idea of including a specific article on the public service in the Treaty. Instead of a new legal basis, he advocated inserting in Article 3 of the Treaty a reference to the promotion of services of general interest, as proposed by the Commission in its ad hoc communication. This reference would also cover the area of transport. As for financing this type of service, Commissioner Kinnock stressed that the relevant decision should be made by the competent authorities at national level. However, the Commission should establish a reference legal framework valid for the whole EU and should regulate the issue of subsidies according to the principles of transparency and proportionality, thus avoiding any sort of state aid being used to cover losses caused by inefficient management of the public service. date: 1997-01-17T00:00:00 type: Decision by Parliament, 1st reading/single reading body: EP docs: title: T4-0020/1997 summary: date: 1997-01-17T00:00:00 type: End of procedure in Parliament body: EP date: 1997-02-03T00:00:00 type: Final act published in Official Journal
