On ne dispose pas encore d'éléments suffisants pour évaluer l'incidence à long terme de l'ouverture des services d'intérêt général à la concurrence, mais rien ne prouve dans les informations disponibles que la libéralisation ait exercé un effet négatif sur leur performance globale, du moins en ce qui concerne l'accessibilité tarifaire et la fourniture d'un service universel.
Although there is as yet insufficient evidence to assess the long-term impact of the opening to competition of services of general interest, there is, based on the available information, no evidence supporting the thesis that liberalisation has had a negative impact on their overall performance, at least as far as affordability and the provision of universal service are concerned.
