Introduction. (154) Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement reads as follows: ‘Save as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any aid granted by EC Member States, EFTA States or through State resources in any form whatsoever which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods shall, in so far as it affects trade between Contracting Parties, be incompatible with the functioning of this Agreement.’
Introduction. (343) According to point 6 of the Annex, ‘reasonable profit must be taken to mean a rate of return on capital that is normal for the sector in a given Member State and that takes account of the risk, or absence of risk, incurred by the public service operator by virtue of public authority intervention.’ (344) The Interpretative Guidelines refer to the SGEI Communication which, (174) despite not being applicable to PSO for land transport, provides some guidance on the determination of the level of reasonable profit (175). The SGEI Communication explains that ‘where generally accepted market remuneration exists for a given service, that market remuneration provides the best benchmark for the compensation in the absence of a tender.’ (176)

Introduction. The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) has drawn up an Information Report on the Implementation of the EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement (EU-UK WA), including the Protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland (Protocol). The information report presents the views of representatives of civil society organisations (CSOs) and other stakeholders collected in the four parts of the UK (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland), as well as using other sources. It is accompanied by this technical report. UK CSOs and other stakeholders were invited to present their views on the state of relations between EU and UK civil society, the state of implementation of the EU-UK WA, citizens' rights under the EU-UK WA, and the implementation of the Protocol. This technical report summarises the input received from the fact-finding meetings in the UK, replies to the online survey, and other relevant submissions. The overarching objective of the information report and its technical report is to facilitate and encourage interaction between EU and UK CSOs for the purpose of reinvigorating and strengthening their relations. Furthermore, the information report, together with the technical report, aims to feed into the political dialogue between the EU and the UK and to promote a joint reflection on their future relationship. To this end, it will be shared with the European Commission, the European Parliament (EP), the European External Action Service (EEAS), the Council, and other relevant EU and UK stakeholders.
