2 Explanatory Note:  Public utilities exist in sectors such as re lated scientific and technical consulting services, R&D service s on social sciences and humanities, 
technical testing and analysis services compulsory for the gran ting of marketing or utilisation authorisations (food safety, dr ug safety and testing for motor vehicles for protecting 
the environment), environmental services other then environmental advisory services, health servi ces transport services and ser vices auxiliary to all modes of transport.  
Exclusive rights on such services are often granted to private operators, for instance operators with concessions from public a uthorities, subject to specific service obligations.  
Given that public utilities often also exist at the sub-central level, detailed and exhaustive sector-specific scheduling is no t practical.
