In a Communication adopted on 20 September 2000, the European Commission has given further clarification of its policy on services of general interest. The Communication has been issued in response to the request made by the European Council in Lisbon and repeated at Feira to update a first Communication issued on the matter in 1996. The rapid development of markets and technology are a source of concern for the public about the future of these services and also generate the need for further clarification for operators about the application of the rules of the Treaty to these services, in particular the Internal Market and competition rules. |
