• Will the providers of “public services” be able to sufficiently eliminate the risk of non-permissible State Aid under the EC rules?
• Do enough examples of correct foundation deeds, authorisations, lease contracts and concession contracts for municipal and other bearers of “public services” exist?
• What are the basic attributes of services of general economic interest?
• What are the basic EC rules of the State Aid in the area of „services of general economic interest“ and in this respect what challenges do the Czech Republic and other EU member countries have to face?

These and other questions should be answered by the conference with the topic „Services of General Economic Interest and State Aid – Quality, Price, Availability, Sustainability“ to be held this September in Prague.
