7. Reiterates the importance of public services and the need to respect the competences of LRAs as provided in the Treaties and Protocol 26 thereto, as well as in the provisions on domestic regulation and public procurement; emphasises that their prerogative of creating new public services in the future should also be respected; welcomes, therefore, the fact that the Commission has stated publically and repeatedly that it will exclude public services from the TiSA negotiations and calls, therefore, on the Commission to ensure that existing and new Services ...[+++] of General Interest, including Services of General Economic Interest, remain outside the scope of application of TiSA in order to ensure that national and – if applicable – local and regional authorities retain the full right to introduce, adopt, maintain or repeal any measures with regard to the commissioning, organisation, funding and provision of public services as provided in the Treaties; believes, furthermore, that there is a need to regulate the movement of professional service providers;

ix. to exclude, in line with Articles 14 and 106 TFEU and Protocol 26 to the TFEU, current and future services of general interest and services of general economic interest from the scope of application of the agreement (including, but not limited to, water, health, social services, social security systems and education, waste management and public transport); to ensure that EU, national and local authorities retain the full right to introduce, adopt, maintain or repeal any measures with rega ...[+++]rd to the commissioning, organisation, funding and provision of public services; to apply this exclusion irrespective of how the public services are provided and funded; to ensure that social security systems are excluded from the scope of application of the agreement; to reject the proposal on a patient mobility annex, which is opposed by the majority of TiSA participants; to recognise the great importance attached by European citizens to high-quality public services that contribute to social and territorial cohesion;

16. Regards the distinction between services of general interest and services of general economic interest as irrelevant for the purpose of striking a balance between general interest activities and competition law: for example, this distinction is often difficult to apply in the social services sector which requires special treatment , as a large number of social services, or some of the activities of service providers may be regarded as being economic in nature and stresses the great diversity of the various methods of organising SGIs (for example, the co-existence of direct ...[+++]public management and private management in the public-service broadcasting sector helps safeguard media pluralism, democracy and cultural diversity; by the same token, the legislation should take account of the specific characteristics of non-profit making charitable, cultural or social associations); urges the Commission, therefore, not to base its policy on SIGs on that distinction, and to give further thought to a classification taking particular account of the nature of the activities and the geographical area in which they are carried out, including the European area;

21. Calls on the Legislator to clarify the distinction between services of general interest and services of general economic interest; notes that for many services of general interest, the "economic/non-economic" distinction is extremely difficult, because - due to the dynamic character of these services - its borderline is rapidly evolving; proposes in that connection that the following criteria could be used to distinguish between economic and non- ...[+++]economic services : purpose of provision and supply (commercial or non-commercial); percentage of public-sector funding; level of investment; profit-motive, as distinct from covering costs; benefits as between local supply provision and a Europe-wide tendering requirement; commitment to guaranteeing social rights; furtherance of social inclusion and integration; these criteria can also be used to set up exemptions to the general competition rules in the case of economic services of general interest; .

The terms «service of general interest» and «service of general economic interest» must not be confused with the term «public service».
