Recital 5
Recital 5
(5) To ensure sound financing to meet the objectives of public transport plans, competent authorities need to design public service obligations to attain public transport objectives in a cost-effective manner taking account of the compensation for the net financial effect of those obligations and they need to ensure long- term financial sustainability of public transport provided under public service contracts. That includes avoiding both over- and under-compensation caused by the substance of the public service obligations or the failure of the competent authority to meet its financial commitments. Public service obligations may include networks in which some services can be operated with a fair profit without financial compensation; the inclusion of such services should not result in compensation payments exceeding the amount necessary for providing the whole range of services.

(9a) The principle of reciprocity is an important way to combat distortion of competition; this principle should be applied not only to Member States, to enable them to exclude from competitive tenders organised by the relevant authorities any firms that are registered or located in a country that does not allow the relevant authorities in its territory to award public service contracts through competitive tendering procedures, but also to companies in third countries that wish to take part in tender procedures within the Union.
