  In its resolution, the European Parliament called on the Commission, in view of the sometimes perceptibly divergent developments in universal service obligations in the Member States, to concentrate in particular, when drawing up its prospective study, on the quality of the universal service provided and on its future funding and to propose, in the context of that study, a definition, scope and appropriate financing for the universal service. It also noted that postal networks have irreplaceable territorial and social dimensions which make universal access to essential local services possible. |

  In order to meet competition, cope with new consumer requirements and secure new sources of funding, postal service providers may diversify their activities by providing electronic business services or other information society services.

| (15) | Postal service providers, including the designated universal service providers, are being spurred on to improve efficiency as a result of new competitive challenges which differ from the traditional postal services (such as digitalisation and electronic communications) and this will in itself contribute to a major increase in competitiveness. |

  Further market opening will continue to benefit consumers and small and medium-sized enterprises in particular, both as senders and as recipients of mail, by bringing about an improvement in quality, wider choice, passed-on price reductions, innovative services and business models. The postal market of today forms part of a larger market for messages, including electronic messages, which should be taken into consideration when evaluating the market. |

The tariffs shall take account of the avoided costs, as compared to the standard service covering the complete range of features offered for the clearance, transport, sorting and delivery of individual postal items and, together with the associated conditions, shall apply equally both as between different 3rd parties and as between 3rd parties and universal service providers supplying equivalent services. Any such tariffs shall also be available to
  any other
  customer,
  in particular individual customers and small and medium-sized enterprises,
  who post under similar conditions.’

Article 18

General principles for public service obligations

1.   A Member State, following consultations with the other Member States concerned and after having informed the Commission
  , the airports concerned
  and air carriers operating on the route, may impose a public service obligation in respect of scheduled air services to
  an
  airport in its territory, any such route being considered vital for the economic
  and social
  development of the region ▐ which the airport
  serves
  . That obligation shall be imposed only to the extent necessary to ensure on that route the minimum provision of scheduled air services satisfying fixed standards of continuity, regularity, pricing or minimum capacity, ║ standards which air carriers would not assume if they were solely considering their commercial interest.

The fixed standards imposed on the route subject to that public service obligation shall be set in a transparent and non-discriminatory way.

2.   In instances where other modes of transport cannot ensure an uninterrupted service with at least two daily operations, the Member States concerned may include in the public service obligation the requirement that any air carrier intending to operate the route gives a guarantee that it will operate the route for a certain period, to be specified, in accordance with the other terms of the public service obligation.

3.   When a public service obligation has been imposed in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 ║ air carriers shall be able to offer seat-only sales only if the air service in question meets all the requirements of the public service obligation. Consequently, that air service shall be considered as a scheduled air service.

4.   If no air carrier has commenced or is about to commence scheduled air services on a route in accordance with the public service obligation which has been imposed on that route, the Member State concerned may limit access to the scheduled air services on that route to only one air carrier for a period of up to four years, after which the situation shall be reviewed.

This period may be up to five years if the public service obligation is imposed on a route to an airport serving an ultra-peripheral region, as defined in Article 299(2) of the Treaty.

5.   The right to operate the services referred to in paragraph 4 shall be offered by public tender in accordance with Article 19, either singly or, in cases where this is indispensable for operational reasons, for a group of such routes to any Community air carrier entitled to operate such air services.

6.   When a Member State wishes to impose a public service obligation, it shall communicate the complete text of the envisaged imposition of the public service obligation to the Commission, to the other Member States concerned
  , to the airports concerned
  and to the air carriers operating the route in question.

The Commission shall publish an information notice in the Official Journal of the European Union:

Access to finance in the retail segment

| 22. | Notes that cross-border integration of EU retail financial markets is less developed than in the wholesale area; notes that consumers still use physically present institutions more than virtual ones, and notes a predominantly domestic-oriented financing structure; warns, however, against simply overhauling the national consumer protection traditions and legal systems by one-size-fits-all harmonisation; takes the view that national consumer protection traditions must not be interpreted in such a way that new competitors are hindered on the domestic market; emphasises the need for a well-functioning internal market for financial services; notes the importance of intermediaries in bringing competition to Member States' domestic markets; stresses the benefits of open and pluralistic structures in the European banking market in meeting the different and evolving needs of consumers; |

Calls on the Level 2 and Level 3 committees to contain national discretion and gold-plating in line with the basic Level 1 legislation, but to take into account national peculiarities and, in particular, the structural features of individual markets; suggests, in the context of the work of the IIMG, a review of whether it may be helpful if Level 3 committees could operate increasingly on the basis of decision-making by some form of qualified majority voting where its principles still have to be defined; suggests that Level 3 committees be given an annual mandate by Parliament and the Council to come up with concrete plans for cooperation and implementation of agreed measures, possibly drawing on EU budgetary resources; recommends that Lamfalussy Level 2 and Level 3 committees' respective powers and mandates be defined more precisely in order to reflect the need to progress towards a greater convergence of their practices and to let them take, within the remit of their activities, binding decisions vis à vis their members, and that the consultation process with industry gets more input from small and medium-sized enterprises and investors;

| 57. | Emphasises the importance of an integrated European system of cooperation between national and sectoral supervisors, capable of securing the efficient supervision of both big financial players and local entities rooted in national traditions; emphasises that all supervisors must take due account of those traditions in the way they execute their conduct of on-the-spot business supervision; welcomes the increasing cooperation of the Level 3 committees CEBS, CESR and CEIOPS and the fact that they now publish joint annual working programmes; |

| 58. | Notes that, for effective oversight of the systemic and prudential risks of the top market players, the present system of cooperation may need to be strengthened on the basis of the system of cooperation that exists among supervisors, and encourages greater coordination, in particular with respect to prudential risk supervision of multi-jurisdictional and cross-sectoral entities and financial conglomerates; encourages agreements and codes of conduct between Member States and central banks on the financial backing of this system of prudential supervision, with respect to bail-out and lender-of-last-resort obligations where several Member States and more supervisors are involved; notes that, to judge whether the present system provides for a real oversight of the systemic and prudential risks of the top players in the market, it is necessary to give the relatively new Level 2 and Level 3 arrangements time to bed down and, at the same time, to look into the desirability and feasibility of EU-level execution of prudential supervision where needed in the future; |
