Zato javni organi na vseh ravneh tesno sodelujejo pri zagotavljanju, urejanju, organiziranju ali v različni meri pri financiranju oz. podpiranju takšnih storitev.
That is why public authorities at every level are deeply involved in providing, regulating, organising or - to various degrees - financing or supporting such services.
Naloga EU ni, da posega v zagotavljanje takšnih storitev – namesto tega bi morala EU po mnenju poročevalca povečati pravno varnost, ki javnim organom na vseh stopnjah omogoča izvajanje naloge varovanja javnega interesa pri zagotavljanju teh storitev.
It is not the EU's job to interfere in the provision of such services - instead, in the view of the rapporteur, the EU should create more legal certainty which allows public authorities at every level to do their job of safeguarding the public interest in provision of these services.
EU mora tudi sodelovati pri zagotavljanju ustreznih standardov v Evropski uniji ter poskrbeti, da so dobre, učinkovite in visokokakovostne storitve otipljiv izraz evropskega državljanstva.
And the EU has also a role to play in guaranteeing adequate standards across the European Union, making good, efficient and high-qualified public services a tangible expression of European citizenship.
Kaj so javne storitve?
What are public services?
Ljudje si izraz „javne storitve“ različno razlagajo.
Different people mean different things by "public services".
Nekateri mislijo, da so to storitve, ki jih zagotovi ali financira javni sektor.
Some people think of public services as being those provided, or financed, by the public sector.
Za druge je ključno merilo to, ali se zagotavljajo „v javnem interesu“... in še veliko podobnih opredelitev, na katere smo naleteli v tej zapleteni razpravi.
For others, the key criterion is whether they are provided "in the public interest" … and in this complicated debate, many other definitions have been offered.
Po mnenju poročevalca je treba začeti pojasnjevati različna pojmovanja javnih storitev in razlikovati na eni strani med storitvami splošnega pomena, ki so tržne narave, jih financira predvsem uporabnik in jih Pogodba ES uvršča med storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena v skladu s členom 16 Pogodbe EU, ter na drugi strani tistimi, ki niso tržne narave, jih pretežno financirajo javni ali socialni skladi in jih lahko obravnavamo kot storitve splošnega negospodarskega pomena, na primer storitve splošnega pomena, s katerimi se izvajajo izključno družbene funkcije ali pooblastila javnih organov.
In the view of the rapporteur, it is necessary to start to clarify the different concepts of public services and to distinguish between SGIs which are, on the one hand those of a commercial nature and mainly financed by the user, which the EC Treaty qualifies as services of general economic interest (SGEI) in line with Article 16 of the EU Treaty, and, on the other hand, those which are not of a commercial nature and are financed mainly by public or social funds, which may be regarded as services of non-economic general interest (SNEGI), such as services of general interest exercising exclusively social functions or prerogatives of public authorities.
Namen člena 16 je ločiti storitve, ki bi lahko občutno vplivale na delovanje enotnega trga, ker so gospodarske narave, od tistih, ki niso gospodarske narave in na to ne morejo vplivati.
The idea behind Article 16 is to single out those services which could significantly affect the operation of the single market, because they are economic in character, from non-economic services which do not.
Negospodarske storitve, vključno s policijo in pravosodjem na primer, so obravnavane kot zadeve v popolni pristojnosti nacionalnih ali pod-nacionalnih vlad in torej izključene iz pristojnosti EU.
Non-economic services, including for example police and the administration of justice, are seen as matters wholly for national and sub-national government, for which the EU has no competence.
Na žalost sedanja zakonodaja EU ne vsebuje jasnih smernic o tem, kako razlikovati med storitvami splošnega gospodarskega pomena, storitvami splošnega pomena in ostalimi storitvami, kar pomeni, da v posameznih primerih ni jasno, ali na enotnem trgu veljajo pravila EU in v kakšnem obsegu.
Unfortunately, current EU law gives no clear guidance on how to distinguish between services of general economic interest, services of general interest and other services – which means that it is not clear, in individual cases, whether and to what extent EU rules on the single market apply.
Zato poročevalec želi začeti razpravo o morebitnih pojasnilih v zvezi s tem.
The rapporteur would therefore like to start a debate of possible clarification in this context.
Spoštovanje različnih nacionalnih tradicij
Respecting different national traditions
V Evropi se dobre javne storitve upoštevajo kot bistven sestavni del civilizirane družbe.
Throughout Europe, good public services are seen as an essential element in a civilised society.
Vendar se nacionalne tradicije – kaj se zagotavlja, kako se zagotavlja in kdo zagotavlja, zelo razlikujejo ter povzročajo nesporazume in nejasnosti glede tega, kaj natančno je mišljeno z javnimi storitvami, ter nasprotovanje temu, da bi se vsaj poizkusila razviti skupna evropska merila in smernice.
But national traditions - what is provided, how and by whom - vary greatly, creating misunderstandings and confusion about what exactly is meant by public services and a reluctance even to attempt to develop common European criteria and guidelines.
Nacionalni, regionalni in lokalni organi so navezani na lastno avtonomijo, ki jim omogoča opredeljevanje politike za svoje državljane na lasten način.
National, regional and local authorities are attached to their autonomy to define their policies for their citizens in their own way.
V praksi pa se pogosto srečujejo z vmešavanjem Evropske komisije ali Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti, ki ocenjujeta njihove dejavnosti z vidika pravil notranjega trga EU – na primer menita, da je navzkrižno subvencioniranje v nasprotju s pravili o državni pomoči, določata zahtevne obveznosti glede javnih naročil ali obravnavata obveznosti javnih storitev kot ovire za enotni evropski trg.
But in practice they are often confronted with interference by the European Commission or by the European Court of Justice, which have judged their activities from the perspective of the EU's internal market rules - for example, deeming cross-subsidisation to be contrary to state aid rules; imposing onerous public procurement obligations; or treating some public service obligations as barriers to the European single market.
Po mnenju poročevalca trenutno niso zagotovljeni niti učinkoviti zaščitni ukrepi za lokalne organe, niti pravna varnost za ponudnike javnih storitev, javne organe, zasebna podjetja in uporabnike storitev.
In the view of the rapporteur, neither effective safeguards for local autonomy, nor the legal certainty which public service providers, public authorities, private businesses and service users is for the moment guaranteed.
Nejasnost in negotovost v veljavni zakonodaji
Confusion and uncertainty in current laws
Čeprav bi predlagana ustavna pogodba po ratifikaciji zagotovila zakonodajne zaščitne ukrepe za storitve splošnega pomena in natančne zakonodajne predpise, zbrane v več letih, ostaja v praktičnem smislu zelo nejasna, ker določa le najbolj splošna načela, ki urejajo javne storitve, medtem ko je razlaga in izvajanje določb o enotnem trgu predmet posebnih zakonodajnih predpisov EU.
Although the proposed Constitutional Treaty, once ratified, would provide constitutional safeguards for services of general interest, detailed legislation - accumulated over many years - leaves great practical uncertainty, because the Treaty sets out only the most general principles governing public services, whereas there is a detailed body of EU legislation interpreting and implementing its single market provisions.
Ni jasno, v kakšnem obsegu so storitve splošnega pomena in storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena vključene na primer v konkurenčno pravo, zakonodajo skupnega trga in pravila za urejanje subvencij ali začetek postopkov javnih naročil.
It is not clear to what extent services of general interest or general economic interest are covered - for instance - by competition law, single market legislation, or rules designed to regulate subsidies or open up public procurement.
Razvoj zakonodaje je povezan s pogosto nepričakovanimi preobrati Komisije ali Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti.
The law evolves through the - often unpredictable - twists and turns of the Commission or European Court of Justice.
Postopna liberalizacija različnih omrežij javnih storitev – kot so telekomunikacija, pošta, energetika in železnica, je bila vsakič osnovana na različnih pravilih, kar je prispevalo k pravni zapletenosti in negotovosti.
And the liberalisation of various public services networks over the years - such as telecom, post, energy and rail - has been based each time on different rules, adding to the legal complexity and uncertainty.
Razen tega je financiranje in upravljanje javnih storitev v Evropi odvisno od nepredvidljivega razvoja sodne prakse in njene razlage.
Moreover, the financing and management of public services in Europe depend on the unpredictable development of case law and judicial interpretation.
Razen tega predlogi za direktivo o storitvah porajajo nova vprašanja o prihodnjih pogojih za dinamične javne storitve.
Moreover, proposals towards a service directive are putting forward new questions regarding future conditions for dynamic public services.
Poziv k ukrepanju: večja pravna varnost za javne storitve
Call for Action: greater legal certainty for public services
Da bi zaščitila storitve splošnega pomena in odpravila pravno negotovost, Evropa potrebuje – brez odlašanja in vzporedno s sedanjim delom v zvezi z obsežnejšo direktivo o storitvah, splošni pravni okvir za javne storitve, ki dopolnjuje obstoječe sektorske in nacionalne določbe in ki se uvede na podlagi soodločanja z Evropskim parlamentom.
To safeguard services of general interest and put an end to legal uncertainty, Europe needs - without delay, and in parallel to current work on the broader Services Directive - a general legal framework for public services, complementary to existing sectoral and national provisions, and introduced on the basis of joint decision-making with the European Parliament.
Novi pravni okvir mora:
The new legal framework must:
§ razjasniti delitev pristojnosti med EU in državami članicami;
§ clarify the division of responsibilities between the EU and Member States
§ uvesti merila za jasno razlikovanje med storitvami splošnega "gospodarskega" in "negospodarskega" pomena, za katere veljajo različni pravni predpisi;
§ introduce criteria for a clear distinction between services of general "economic" and "non-economic" interest, to which different legal provisions apply
§ ohraniti suverenost lokalnih organov v zvezi z načrtovanjem in upravljanjem javnih storitev, za katere so pristojni;
§ enshrine the sovereignty of local authorities regarding the design and management of the public services for which they are responsible
§ zagotoviti pravico državljanov do sodelovanja na lokalni ravni, ki zagotavlja, da so njihove potrebe, zahteve in težave nemudoma in neposredno obravnavane, ter varuje pravice potrošnikov in državljanov;
§ guarantee citizens' right to a local input, ensuring that their needs, claims and problems are examined promptly and directly, and protecting consumer and civil rights
§ upoštevati potrebo po posebni sektorski zakonodaji za nekatere storitve in določiti jasno razmerje s takšno zakonodajo in direktivo o storitvah, ki je trenutno v obravnavi v Parlamentu;
§ respect the need for specific sectoral legislation for some services, and establish a clear relationship with such legislation, and with the Services Directive currently before the Parliament
§ zagotoviti spoštovanje načel transparentnosti; odprtosti; solidarnosti; visoke kakovosti storitev; univerzalnosti; enakosti dostopa; partnerstva s civilno družbo; in večjega sodelovanja zaposlenih;
§ guarantee respect for the principles of transparency; openness; solidarity; a high quality of service; universality; equality of access; partnership with civil society; and workforce participation
§ razjasniti načela, ki urejajo financiranje in obveznosti javnih storitev na področju javnih naročil, zlasti v zvezi z različnimi in novimi oblikami opravljanja ter upravljanja storitev v dinamičnem sektorju javnih storitev.
§ clarify the principles governing the funding and public procurement obligations of public services, in particular regarding different and new forms of provision and management in a dynamic public service sector.
Dejanska opredelitev, oblikovanje, organizacija in financiranje storitev splošnega pomena, gospodarskih ali negospodarskih, mora ostati naloga držav članic in njihovih regionalnih in lokalnih organov.
The actual definition, formulation, organisation and funding of services of general interest, whether economic or non-economic, must remain a task for the Member States and their regional and local authorities.
Ob upoštevanju ključnih standardov in meril, določenih zgoraj, poročevalec predvideva več vrst rešitev za zagotavljanje storitev na lokalni ravni, ki odgovarjajo lokalnim potrebam.
Subject to meeting the key standards and criteria set out above, the rapporteur envisage the widest variety of solutions for the provision of services at local level, responding to local needs.

The Committee on International Trade calls on the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following suggestions in its motion for a resolution:
6. poudarja, da je treba trgovino s storitvami splošnega pomena upoštevati pri pogajanjih in postopkih liberalizacije izmenjav, pri katerih sodeluje Evropska unija;
Maintains that trade in services of general interest should be taken into account in all negotiations and processes aimed at the liberalisation of trade in which the EU is involved;
12. meni, da upravičene zahteve splošnega pomena ne smejo služiti kot pretveza za nezakonito zapiranje storitvenih trgov pred mednarodnimi izvajalci, če se le-ti zavežejo, da bodo spoštovali potrebe teh trgov in to lahko storijo;
Considers that the legitimate requirements of general interest must not be used as a pretext for the improper closure of markets in services to international providers when the latter undertake to respect these requirements and are in a position to do so;
16. opozarja, da si je Evropska unija glede financiranja storitev splošnega pomena, za katere so bile prevzete obveznosti za dostop do trga, dovolila omejitev za varovanje dodeljevanja subvencij javnemu sektorju; zahteva, da se ta možnost med pogajanji SSTS ohrani;
Recalls that, as regards the financing of services of general interest in respect of which commitments on market access have been entered into, the EU obtained a restriction to protect the granting of subsidies to the public sector; calls for this possibility to be maintained throughout the GATS negotiations;
19. zahteva, da Evropska unija zagovarja to stališče na pogajanjih Svetovne trgovinske organizacije in podpira načelo, da je odprtje storitev, vezanih na ravnanje z vodo, oskrbo in sanacijo skladno s cilji trajnostnega razvoja;
Calls for the EU to defend this point of view in the WTO negotiations and to support the principle that opening up the market in services relating to the treatment, supply and purification of water should comply with the objectives of sustainable development;
23. se veseli, da bo Komisija objavila splošno ponudbo Skupnosti v okviru sedanjih pogajanj SSTS, vendar meni, da bi morala Komisija bolj poglobljeno razpravljati s Parlamentom in pristojnimi odbori o tekočem razvoju.
Welcomes the fact that the Commission has publicised the Community’s package of offers in the current GATS negotiations; considers, however, that the Commission should discuss current developments in greater detail with Parliament and its relevant committees.

The Committee on Employment and Social Affairs calls on the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following suggestions in its motion for a resolution:
· enak splošen dostop,
· equal universal access,
· zagotovljena vključitev celotnega ozemlja ter geografska in socialna dostopnost skupaj s storitvami visoke kakovosti po dostopnih cenah in z enakimi visokimi standardi kakovosti ne glede na stopnjo donosnosti posameznih ponudnikov storitev, in
· guaranteed full territorial coverage and geographical and social accessibility, combined with high-quality service at affordable prices and uniformly high-quality standards, irrespective of the level of profitability of individual service providers, and
· družbeno sprejemljivi popusti za nekatere dele prebivalstva, kot so invalidne osebe in skupine z nizkimi dohodki, ter mehanizmi za boj proti družbeni izključenosti, ukrepi za zagotovitev trajnostnega razvoja, visoka raven varstva okolja in odprava razlik med regijami, pravna varnost in skladnost z okvirnimi pogoji, določenimi za zagotavljanje storitev splošnega pomena, ne glede na identiteto ali narodnost ponudnika;
· socially acceptable concessionary charges for certain sections of the population, such as disabled persons and low-income groups, as well as mechanisms designed to combat social exclusion, measures designed to guarantee sustainable development, a high level of environmental protection and the elimination of regional disparities, legal certainty and compliance with the framework conditions for the provision of SGIs regardless of the identity or nationality of the provider.
10. posebej opozarja na dejstvo, da morajo nujne storitve obsegati pravico dostopa, ob posebnem upoštevanju načela nediskriminacije, ki je temeljna vrednota EU, in da se položaj posameznih družbenih skupin, kot so invalidne osebe, v prihodnje ne sme poslabšati.
Draws particular attention to the fact that essential services must comprise a right of access, with particular regard to the principle of non-discrimination, which is a fundamental value of the EU, and that certain social groups, such as people with disabilities, must not be placed in a worse position in the future.
