Article 106 TFEU lays down that undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest are subject to the rules contained in the Treaty, in particular the rules on competition, in so far as the application of such rules does not obstruct the performance, in law or in fact, of the particular tasks assigned to them.
U članku 106. UFEU-a propisano je da poduzeća kojima je povjereno obavljanje usluga od općeg gospodarskog interesa podliježu pravilima sadržanima u Ugovorima, a osobito pravilima o tržišnom natjecanju, i to u mjeri u kojoj primjena takvih pravila ne sprečava, de iure ili de facto, obavljanje posebnih zadaća koje su im povjerene.
