摘要
民营化改革致使人们普遍担心公用事业用户的消费负担增加、市场竞争受阻,乃至影响到资源环境的可持续发展。在回答"公用事业为什么需要规制"这一问题上,公共利益是永恒的答案。尽管公共利益的概念具有不确定性,但是在公用事业民营化改革不断深化的特定情境中,公用事业规制所追求的公共利益仍可获其特定内涵,并可以划分为三个不同的面向,即通过强制延伸服务机制、抵制掠夺性定价和限制市场退出确保公用事业服务的普遍化、通过纠正无效率或不公正市场运作实现社会总体经济福利的优化、通过加强对环境污染的规制促进资源环境的可持续发展。但是,公共利益并非公用事业规制所追求的最终目标,追求公共利益在根本上是为了更好地尊重和保障个体人权。
The privatization process of public utilities worries people in increasing consumers＇ burden, lack of competition, even the sustainable development of environment. In answering ＂why we need to regulate public utilities？＂, public benefit is the eternal response. Though there is no definite definition of public benefit, the regulation of public utilities can still have its specific area, especially under the background of deepening the reform of public utilities, which can be divided into three directions ： through compulsory service extension, no predatory pricing and free market withdrawal to ensure the coverage of public utilities ; through inefficiency or unfair market practices correction to realize the optimization of general social welfare and through strong supervision of environment protection to promote sustainable development. However, public benefit is not the ultimate goal of public utilities regulation. The pursuit of public benefit is in essence to better respect and safeguard individual＇s human rights.
