peer agreement (net): +1| gemeinwirtschafftliche Leistungen services of public interest Explanation: You could reduce your own suggestion to "services of public interest", or even "public interest services". The Passenger Transport Act distinguishes between self-financing (eigenwirtschaftlich) and public interest (gemeinwirtschaftlich) transport services under Para. 13 and Para 13a Passenger Transport Act. In principle, the Passenger Transport Act lays down that public transport is to be self-financing (Para. 8 (4) Passenger Transport Act). Only if self-financing services cannot provide an “adequate service” are public transport services to be supplied on a public interest or gemeinwirtschaftlich basis. http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:HsUjt3F1a_oJ:edoc.difu.... SchIG mbHSchieneninfrastrukturfinanzierungs-Gesellschaft mbH, Wien Durch die Implementierung solcher «Public-Private-Partnerships» strebt man eine wirtschaftlichere Verwendung der Staatsmittel an, indem die Konzessionsgesellschaften zwar öffentliche Zuschüsse für gemeinwirtschaftliche Leistungen erhalten, im übrigen aber voll als gewinnorientierte Privatunternehmungen operieren. Such public-private partnerships are intended to ensure a more economic application of public funds in that, although the concessionaires will receive public subsidies for activities in the public interest, they will otherwise operate completely as profit-oriented private enterprises. http://www.mngt.waikato.ac.nz/kurt/frontpage/PDFs/SchIG Jun ... |

| gemeinwirtschafftliche Leistungen output/performance/service in/of the commons Explanation: Die Gemeinwirtschaft = the commons. It's unclear what @Leistungen@ are referred to in this context, which creates the ambiguity of suggestions. |
