Les États Membres n’ont pas besoin d’utiliser des ressources d’État pour accomplir leur mission. Ils peuvent utiliser les ressources d’entreprises privées en leur imposant l’obligation de fournir des services d’intérêt général (SIG). Ce dernier choix leur offre de nombreux avantages. Mais ils doivent s’assurer que le régime ainsi créé est conforme aux règles relatives à la législation sur les aides d’État. Certains États Membres veillent à ce que les entreprises privées fournissant des SIG n’obtiennent pas la pleine rémunération de leurs services. Toutefois, l’arrêt de la Cour dans l’affaire Lux Express Estonia pourrait modifier ce mécanisme, d’autant plus que la Cour a déclaré que les États Membres doivent payer une compensation pour les obligations qu’ils imposent aux entreprises privées. De plus, les États Membres doivent s’assurer qu’ils versent le bon montant de compensation. Ni un sou de plus, ni un sou de moins.

Member States do not need to use state resources when they accomplish their mission. They may employ resources of private undertakings by imposing on them obligations to provide services of general interest (SGI). The latter choice provides Member States with many benefits. But Member States need to be sure that the scheme they created complies with the rules on State aid law. Some Member States make sure that private undertakings carrying out SGI do not obtain the full remuneration for their services. However, the Court’s judgment in Lux Express Estonia has the potential to change this mechanism, especially as the Court stated that Member States must pay compensation for obligations they impose on private undertakings. What is more, Member States need to be certain they pay the right amount of compensation. Not a penny more, not a penny less.
