EL SECTOR SERVICIOS Y LA TRANSPOSICIÓN DE LA DIRECTIVA EUROPEA AL CASO ESPAÑOL
En este contexto, este Informe se ha redactado con objeto de cubrir tres objetivos:
En primer lugar, presentar los rasgos básicos del sector servicios en España, aportando datos y elementos relativos a su peso actual en el conjunto de la economía y sobre la situación del sector (sección 2), lo cual se completa con un análisis de las principales fuerzas que explican el crecimiento del terciario en España en los últimos años, los cuales van a seguir operando en el mismo sentido en el futuro (sección 3).
El segundo objetivo del Informe es plantear las barreras e impedimentos que existen en el funcionamiento de los mercados de servicios, en buena parte debidas al cúmulo de regulaciones que afectan al acceso a la prestación de servicios y a su posterior desarrollo. Todo ello es objeto de estudio en la sección 4, donde se analizan dichos obstáculos tanto desde la perspectiva de comercio de servicios entre países, como en cuanto al ejercicio de actividades de servicios en el interior del país, cuestión particularmente importante en el caso español.
Por último, el tercer objetivo del Informe ha consistido en estudiar y revisar qué tipo de efectos cabe esperar que produzca la transposición de la Directiva (sección 5), tanto desde una perspectiva macroeconómica (en términos de crecimiento adicional, creación de empleo, incremento del comercio intracomunitario, etc.) como en cuanto a los efectos que progresivamente van a producirse en beneficio de las empresas de servicios, los consumidores y las propias Administraciones Públicas (Central, Comunidades Autónomas y corporaciones locales).
