There is a big difference in the definition that a Public Service gets in:
- CPSV and CPSV-AP: a public service is the capacity to carry out a procedure and exists whether it is used or not. It is a set of deeds and acts performed by or on behalf of a public agency for the benefit of a citizen, a business or another public agency; and
- CPSV-AP_IT: public service is any mandatory or discretional act performed by or on behalf of a public agency for the benefit of a citizen or a business
In the comments provided by Nicola Guarino , the suggestion is to align the definition in CPSV-AP with the one in CPSV-AP_IT.

I like that wording, Nicola. Let's see what others say.
Closed by Miguel Alvarez Rodriguez on behalf of the Governance Committee of the CPSV-AP revision process with the following definition:
"A Public Service is a mandatory or discretionary set of acts performed, or able to be performed, by or on behalf of a public organisation. Services may be for the benefit of an individual, a business, or other public authority, or groups of any of these. The capacity to act exists whether it is used or not, and the term 'benefit' may apply in the sense of enabling the fulfilment of an obligation. As defined in the revised version of the European Interoperability Framework, a European public service comprises any service provided by public administrations in Europe, or by other organisations on their behalf, to businesses, citizens or others public administrations."
