Abstract

Services of general economic interest (such as water, electricity, gas, broadcasting, waste removal, waste disposal and bus services) are usually provided by public or semi-public institutions. Often they enjoy special privileges protecting them from open competition. The European Commission, however, who is responsible for enforcing EU competition rules, aims at integrating these services as far as possible into competitive markets. In a normative part of the paper it is analysed what regimes of competition are appropriate for which services. Then, it is shown in a positive analysis how far political entrepreneurs, in their strive to win elections, do apply these regimes. While politicians seem to approve competition rules in the very long run. They want to restrict their application in the short run in order to obtain electoral support.
