It was another test of President Nicolas Sarkozy's resolve in his efforts to cut down the large civil service to reduce budget deficits and create more competition in the economy.

'Competition' means 'important people get stuff, unimportant people don't.'
It's about constricting the availability of services, not about providing them.
