17. Notes that there is no need to confer additional legal powers on the EU in the area of SGIs; notes, however, that there is a need to clarify how responsibilities are shared between the EU and the Member States in so far as there might be distortions of the free provision of services between Member States;

It would be a betrayal of the sweat and blood of our parents and grandparents and the lessons that they learned from having a divided Europe; from having a Europe which is locked behind its own sovereign borders, unable to share power and unable to share a future together.

This shared responsibility is the concept underlying Article 16 of the EC Treaty, which confers responsibility upon the Community and the Member States to ensure, each within their respective powers, that their policies enable operators of services of general economic interest to fulfil their missions.
