English: The financial resources granted to France 2 and France 3 provided them with additional competitive means for acquiring broadcasting rights and investing in programmes that were subsequently put up for sale. The aid measures in question also placed France 2 and France 3 in a more favourable position than their competitors in the Community, with the result that those competitors had less chances of exporting their products to France.
German: Außerdem haben die in Frage stehenden Beihilfen France 2 und France 3 in eine günstigere Position versetzt als ihre Konkurrenten in der Gemeinschaft und die Chancen dieser Konkurrenten, auf dem französischen Markt Fuß zu fassen, entsprechend verringert.
Italian: Inoltre le misure di aiuto in questione hanno posto France 2 e France 3 in una posizione più favorevole rispetto ai loro concorrenti comunitari, diminuendo in proporzione le possibilità di questi ultimi di penetrare il mercato francese.
Slovenian: Poleg tega so zadevni podporni ukrepi postavili France 2 in France 3 v ugodnejši položaj, kot ga imajo njuni konkurenti v Skupnosti, s tem pa so za toliko zmanjšali možnosti slednjih, da bi se uveljavili v Franciji.
English: Over the period 1988 to 1994, France 2 and France 3 received by way of the licence fee FRF 12,12 billion and FRF 20,17 billion respectively [22]. An analysis based on the profit and loss account thus reveals that France 2 and France 3 were cumulatively undercompensated to the tune of FRF 3,57 billion and FRF 718,6 million respectively.
German: Bewertet man die Zahlungen zunächst anhand der Ergebniskonten, so kommt man zu dem Schluss, dass die Ausgleichszahlungen, die France 2 und France 3 erhalten haben, insgesamt zu niedrig waren, nämlich 3,57 Mrd. FRF bzw. 718,6 Mio. FRF.
Swedish: Av en analys som motsvarar en ”resultaträkningsmetod” framgår att France 2 och France 3 sammanlagt underkompenserades till ett belopp av 3,57 miljarder franska franc respektive 718,6 miljoner franska franc.
English: Such a distortion would exist if France 2 and France 3, secure in the assurance that their lower commercial revenues would be compensated for by the State, were to drive advertising rates down, thereby reducing the revenues of their competitors. (91) In its complaint, TF1 raised this issue, claiming that thanks to the State aid they receive, France 2 and France 3, acting ‘outside the profitability constraints of their competitors, are able to offer introductory prices and artificial reductions on their advertising slots or sponsorship activities in order to retain the custom of advertisers’.
German: Der Sender behauptet, dass die beiden Fernsehanstalten France 2 und France 3 dank der staatlichen Beihilfen „im Gegensatz zu ihrer Konkurrenz ohne Rücksicht auf Rentabilitätszwänge operieren und so ihre Preise für Werbezeiten oder für Sponsoring künstlich niedrig halten können, um ihre Werbekunden nicht zu verlieren.“
Italian: Nella sua denuncia TF1 solleva tale questione affermando che, grazie agli aiuti di Stato di cui beneficiano, le emittenti France 2 e France 3, operando «al di fuori dei vincoli di redditività cui sono sottoposti i loro concorrenti, possono praticare prezzi di richiamo e ribassi artificiali relativamente ai loro spazi pubblicitari o alle loro azioni di sponsorizzazione, al fine di mantenere la clientela degli inserzionisti.».
Swedish: I sitt klagomål tar TF1 upp detta argument och hävdar att tack vare det statliga stöd som France 2 och France 3 fick, så agerade de två kanalerna ”utan de avkastningskrav som deras konkurrenter lyder under, och kunde tillämpa lockpriser och artificiellt låga priser vid försäljning av reklamtid och vid sina sponsringsverksamheter, för att hålla kvar sin kundkrets av annonsörer”.
Slovak: Vo svojej žalobe TF1 zdôrazňuje tento argument tvrdiac, že vďaka štátnej pomoci, ktorá im bola priznaná, stanice France 2 a France 3, konajúce „mimo nátlaku rentability, pod ktorým konajú ich konkurenti, môžu ponúkať základné ceny a umelo znižovať ceny svojich reklamných obrazoviek alebo patronátnych akcií, s cieľom udržať klientelu inzerentov.“
Slovenian: V svoji pritožbi TF1 navaja ta argument s trditvijo, da po zaslugi državne pomoči, ki sta je bila deležna, kanala France 2 in France 3, ki sta delovala „zunaj prisil donosnosti, kakršne doživljajo njuni konkurenti, lahko uporabljala izklicne cene in umetno nizke cene za svoje oglaševalske akcije ali za svoje akcije s pokrovitelji, zato da sta obdržala oglaševalske stranke“.
English: Admittedly, the tables show that, as stressed by TF1, its GRP price is in the main higher than those of France 2 or France 3, which are themselves higher than that of M6. It is also clear that TF1’s average GRP is always very distinctly higher than France 2 or France 3.
German: Aus den Tabellen geht ebenfalls hervor, dass die mittleren GRP-Werte von TF1 immer noch deutlich über denen von France 2 oder France 3 liegen.

English: The grants therefore constituted an advantage. The advantage was also selective since only the two public broadcasters benefited and not all television operators, whether public or private.
Spanish: Dichas subvenciones constituyeron pues una ventaja que, además, fue selectiva, puesto que solamente disfrutaron de ellas las cadenas públicas de televisión y no todos los operadores de televisión públicos o privados.
Italian: Tali sovvenzioni hanno dunque costituito un vantaggio, che per di più è selettivo, in quanto ne hanno goduto soltanto queste due emittenti televisive pubbliche e non tutti gli operatori televisivi, siano essi pubblici o privati.
Dutch: Deze subsidies vormden dus een voordeel, dat bovendien selectief was, aangezien enkel deze twee publieke televisieomroepen ze hebben ontvangen en niet alle televisieomroepen, ongeacht of het om publieke of particuliere omroepen ging.
Greek: Οι επιδοτήσεις αυτές συνιστούν επομένως πλεονέκτημα το οποίο, επιπλέον, είναι επιλεκτικό εφόσον από αυτό επωφελήθηκαν μόνον οι δύο κρατικοί τηλεοπτικοί σταθμοί και όχι όλοι οι τηλεοπτικοί φορείς, κρατικοί ή ιδιωτικοί.
Slovenian: Te subvencije so torej predstavljale prednost, ki je poleg tega selektivna, kajti deležna sta jih bila le ta dva javna televizijska kanala in ne vsi televizijski operaterji, bodisi javni ali zasebni.
Lithuanian: Be to, ši nauda skirta vykdant atranką, kadangi subsidijos suteiktos tik dviems valstybiniams kanalams, o ne visiems televizijų operatoriams, nepriklausomai nuo to, ar jie būtų valstybiniai, ar privatūs.
English: In doing so, the national broadcasting companies shall endeavour to act as the benchmark in standards of ethics, quality and imaginativeness. They shall be guided by concern to avoid any kind of bad taste.
Greek: Εν προκειμένω, ο προορισμός των εθνικών εταιρειών παραγωγής προγραμμάτων είναι να αποτελούν σημείο αναφοράς ως προς την ηθική, την ποιότητα και τη φαντασία.Ως εκ τούτου φροντίζουν να αποφεύγουν κάθε μορφής χυδαιότητα.
Hungarian: Erre tekintettel, a nemzeti műsorszolgáltató társaságok hivatásszerűen alakítanak ki etikai, minőségi és elképzelési mintákat, és emiatt következetesen kerülnek minden közönségességet.
Slovenian: S tem imajo nacionalne programske družbe poslanstvo, da ustvarjajo referenco glede etike, kakovosti in domišljije ter iz tega naslova ohranjajo skrb, da se izognejo sleherni vulgarnosti.

English: In its analysis, the Commission must also have due regard for the Protocol. The Protocol stresses that the system of public broadcasting is directly related to the democratic, social and cultural needs of each society and to the need to preserve media pluralism.
Spanish: A la hora de realizar su análisis, la Comisión también debe tener en cuenta el Protocolo, cuyo texto recuerda que la radiodifusión de servicio público está directamente ligado a las necesidades democráticas, sociales y culturales de cada sociedad y a la necesidad de preservar el pluralismo de los medios de comunicación.
Portuguese: No âmbito da sua análise, a Comissão deve igualmente tomar em consideração o protocolo, que recorda que o serviço público de radiodifusão está directamente associado às necessidades democráticas, sociais e culturais de cada sociedade, bem como à necessidade de preservar o pluralismo nos meios de comunicação social.
Dutch: Bij haar analyse moet de Commissie ook rekening houden met het protocol, waarin eraan wordt herinnerd dat het publiekeomroepstelsel rechtstreeks verband houdt met de democratische, sociale en culturele behoeften van iedere samenleving en met de noodzaak het pluralisme in de media te behouden.
English: During that operation, the French State injected FRF 500 million into France 2. This was sufficient to enable the broadcaster to continue operating in the short term, but was not enough to restore a lasting balance between its net assets and bank debt.
Spanish: El Estado francés aportó 500 millones FRF a France 2 para esa operación que bastó para que la cadena pudiera mantener su actividad a corto plazo, pero no permitió restablecer un equilibrio duradero entre los fondos propios y el endeudamiento bancario.
English: On the other hand, the capital injections and grants are recorded on the balance sheet. This is because the capital injections are exceptional contributions that served to make good previous deficits that had accumulated over several years.
Spanish: En cambio, las aportaciones de capital y las subvenciones se consignan en el balance, por constituir contribuciones excepcionales que sirven para colmar déficits anteriores acumulados a lo largo de varios ejercicios.

English: On 10 March 1993, Télévision Française 1 SA (hereinafter TF1) submitted a complaint to the Commission concerning the methods used to finance and operate the public broadcasters France 2 and France 3 [2]. The complaint alleged infringements of Article 81, Article 86(1), and Article 87 of the Treaty.
Hungarian: 1993. március 10-én a Télévision Française 1 SA (a továbbiakban: TF1) panaszt emelt a Bizottságnál a France 2 és France 3 közszolgálati televíziós csatornák finanszírozásának és üzemeltetésének módjával kapcsolatban [2].
English: When State financial aid strengthens the position of an undertaking compared with other undertakings competing in intra-Community trade, the latter must be regarded as affected by that aid [11]. The Court of Justice has developed a broad interpretation of the concept of the effect on trade.
Hungarian: Amennyiben az állam által nyújtott pénzügyi támogatás erősíti egy vállalat helyzetét a többi, konkurens vállalathoz képest a Közösségen belüli kereskedelmi forgalomban, úgy kell megítélni, hogy a támogatás befolyásolta ezt a forgalmat [11].
English: The preamble to the schedule of tasks and obligations of France 2 then describes the latter as ‘the only exclusively general-interest channel in public ownership’ with a duty to reach ‘a wide audience, to which it shall offer a diversified and balanced range of programmes’, while the preamble to the schedule of tasks and obligations of France 3 states that the latter ‘shall assert its specific role as a regional and local channel’ and give priority to ‘decentralised news coverage and regional events’. As in the case of the schedules of tasks and obligations dated 28 August 1987, some 20 articles then spell out more precisely the content of these public service tasks.
Hungarian: A France 2 feladat- és hatásköri leírásának preambuluma ezután ezt úgy fejti ki, hogy önmagát „az egyetlen nagyközönségi köztelevízióként” aposztrofálja, amelynek feladata, hogy elérje „a nagyközönséget, melynek a műsorok változatos és kiegyensúlyozott választékát kínálja”, míg a France 3 feladat- és hatásköri leírása azt jelzi, hogy ezzel „megerősíti a regionális és helyi csatorna speciális funkcióját és kiemelten kezeli a decentralizált tájékoztatást és a regionális eseményeket”, ahogyan az 1987. augusztus 28-án kelt feladat- és hatásköri leírás körülbelül húsz cikke részletesebben kifejti a közszolgálati feladatok tartalmát.
English: Likewise, the investment and equipment grants finance investments that are then used, and therefore depreciated, over several years. The grants are therefore entered in the profit and loss account at the same rate as the investments are depreciated.
Hungarian: Ráadásul a beruházási és felszerelési támogatások (szubvenciók) lehetővé teszik olyan beruházások finanszírozását, melyeket több pénzügyi évre vonatkoztatva fognak hasznosítani, ennélfogva amortizációjukat is így számolják el.
English: As regards the investment grants and capital injections, the ACT took the view that such aid was not linked to a precise cultural project and consequently could not be justified pursuant to Article 87(3)(d) of the Treaty. It also considered that the measures constituted operating aid and that the exemption for rescue and restructuring aid to firms in difficulty could not be applied to the case in point since the French authorities had not communicated the restructuring plan for the broadcasters to the Commission.
Italian: L'ACT ritiene inoltre che tali misure costituiscano aiuti al funzionamento e che la deroga prevista per gli aiuti di Stato per il salvataggio e la ristrutturazione delle imprese in difficoltà non possa applicarsi al presente caso, giacché le autorità francesi non hanno comunicato alla Commissione il piano di ristrutturazione delle reti.
Slovenian: Poleg tega meni, da predstavljajo pomoči delovanju in da se predvidena izjema za denarne pomoči, namenjene reševanju in prestrukturiranju podjetij v težavah, ne more nanašati na ta primer, saj francoske oblasti Komisiji niso sporočile načrta prestrukturiranja kanalov.
English: Table 3 shows France 2’s net profits/losses before and after the grant of the three capital injections. TABLE 3
Italian: TABELLA 3
Slovenian: PREGLEDNICA 3
English: France 2 and France 3 have been entrusted with these public service tasks by an official decision (entrustment and supervision), the financial compensation granted to them is proportional to the net cost of their public service activity (proportionality test).
Italian: la compensazione finanziaria ad esse concessa è proporzionale al costo netto della loro attività di servizio pubblico (proporzionalità).
English: The preamble to both documents states that ‘the national television broadcasting companies (France 2 and France 3) provide a television service for all citizens. As such, they shall endeavour to reach the widest possible audience while affirming their personality by offering a specific range of programmes based on four major characteristics: in performing the cultural, educational and social role assigned to them by law, these channels shall provide the public with information, cultural enrichment and entertainment, showing respect for human dignity at all times, they shall ensure pluralism in their programming by including all types of programme and catering for all audiences, the programmes they offer shall be particularly rich and diversified in the area of cultural broadcasts and programmes for the young, they shall make a significant effort in terms of programme output by pursuing innovation, being systematically attentive to the script and encouraging the creation of original productions aimed, among other things, at promoting the French cultural heritage. In doing so, the national broadcasting companies shall endeavour to act as the benchmark in standards of ethics, quality and imaginativeness. They shall be guided by concern to avoid any kind of bad taste. The attention they pay to their audience shall reflect a desire to achieve high standards rather than commercial performance’. The preamble to the schedule of tasks and obligations of France 2 then describes the latter as ‘the only exclusively general-interest channel in public ownership’ with a duty to reach ‘a wide audience, to which it shall offer a diversified and balanced range of programmes’, while the preamble to the schedule of tasks and obligations of France 3 states that the latter ‘shall assert its specific role as a regional and local channel’ and give priority to ‘decentralised news coverage and regional events’.
Italian: Il preambolo del capitolato di France 2 descrive poi l'emittente come la «sola rete esclusivamente generalista del settore pubblico», che intende rivolgersi a «un vasto pubblico, cui offre una gamma di programmi diversificata ed equilibrata», mentre il preambolo del capitolato di France 3 indica che tale emittente «afferma la sua specifica vocazione di emittente regionale e locale» e privilegia «l’informazione decentrata e gli avvenimenti regionali».
English: As far as the public resources are concerned, the licence fee constitutes the ordinary public funding of France 2 and France 3. However, between 1988 and 1994, in addition to the licence fee, the French authorities awarded France 2 and France 3 the grants set out in tables 1 and 2.
Italian: Tuttavia fra il 1988 e il 1994 in aggiunta al canone le autorità francesi hanno concesso a France 2 e a France 3 le sovvenzioni indicate nelle tabelle 1 e 2.
Dutch: De omroepbijdrage is de gewone vorm van overheidsfinanciering van France 2 en France 3, maar in de periode 1988-1994 hebben de Franse autoriteiten naast de omroepbijdrage ook de in de tabellen 1 en 2 aangegeven subsidies aan France 2 en France 3 toegekend.
English: During peak viewing times, TF1’s average GRP varied between 10,3 and 12,8 points, whereas that of France 2 varied between 5,7 and 6,1 points, that of France 3 between 3,4 and 4,1 points and that of M6 between 3,4 and 4,4 points. However, the difference between TF1’s GRP prices and those of the two public broadcasters is not disproportionate if it is compared with the difference between the GRP prices of TF1 and M6.
Italian: In media si osserva una riduzione dei prezzi GRP di France 2, France 3 e M6 dell'ordine di 83 EUR per unità di GRP rispetto al prezzo GRP di TF1 nei due periodi presi in esame (arco della giornata e ore di massimo ascolto).
Swedish: I genomsnitt noterar man rabatterade GRP-priser för France 2, France 3 och M6 i storleksordningen 83 euro per GRP-enhet jämfört med GRP-priserna för TF1 för de två undersökta perioderna (hela dagen och bästa sändningstid).
Slovak: V priemere je zreteľné zníženie cien GRP France 2, France 3 a M6 o 83 EUR za jednotku GRP vzhľadom na cenu GRP TF1 počas oboch sledovaných období (celý deň a hodiny vysokej sledovanosti).
Slovenian: V povprečju opažamo padec cen GRP pri France 2, France 3 in M6 v redu velikosti 83 eurov za enoto GRP v primerjavi s ceno GRP pri TF1 v dveh opazovanih obdobjih (vsota dneva in ur največje gledanosti).
English: On average, the GRP prices of France 2, France 3 and M6 are around EUR 83 per unit of GRP lower than those charged by TF1 during the two periods examined (over the whole day and at peak viewing times). Consequently, France 2 and France 3 did not sell their advertising slots at artificially low prices.
Italian: Si constata pertanto che France 2 e France 3 non hanno praticato un prezzo artificialmente basso nella vendita dei loro spazi pubblicitari.
Swedish: Alltså kan konstateras att France 2 och France 3 inte har tagit ut ett försäljningspris på sina reklamtider som är artificiellt lågt.
Slovak: Možno teda konštatovať, že France 2 a France 3 nefakturovali predaj svojich reklamných priestorov za umelo nízku cenu.
Slovenian: Zaradi tega torej ugotavljamo, da kanala France 2 in France 3 nista obračunala prodaje njunega oglasnega prostora po umetno nizki ceni.
English: Although France 2’s viability was restored from 1992 onwards, after several years of losses, the meagre profits it registered were possible only thanks to the additional capital injections granted by the French State in 1993 and 1994. Consequently, the French authorities’ argument that the capital injections granted to France 2 should be regarded as a normal market investment cannot be accepted.
Lithuanian: Po keletos nuostolingų metų „France 2“ veiklos pagyvėjimą ir nedidelį kanalo pelną nuo 1992 m. lėmė papildomi valstybės kapitalo įnašai 1993 ir 1994 m. Taigi Prancūzijos valdžios institucijų argumentas, kad „France 2“ suteiktas kapitalo dotacijas reikėtų vertinti kaip įprastą rinkos investiciją, negali būti priimtas.
English: The Commission thus takes the view that a private investor operating in a market economy would not have granted France 2 capital injections equivalent to those made by the French State in 1991, 1993 and 1994. Those capital injections therefore conferred an advantage on France 2 that was also selective since France 2 is the only television broadcaster that received such capital injections in order to finance its activities.
Lithuanian: Atitinkamai Komisija mano, kad privatus rinkos ekonomikos investuotojas „France 2“ nebūtų suteikęs tokių kapitalo dotacijų, kokias suteikė valstybė 1991 m., 1993 m. ir 1994 m. Šiuo atžvilgiu „France 2“ skirtos dotacijos yra atrankos būdu gauta nauda, kadangi jos išmokėtos tik vienam kanalui.
English: The attention they pay to their audience shall reflect a desire to achieve high standards rather than commercial performance’. The preamble to the schedule of tasks and obligations of France 2 then describes the latter as ‘the only exclusively general-interest channel in public ownership’ with a duty to reach ‘a wide audience, to which it shall offer a diversified and balanced range of programmes’, while the preamble to the schedule of tasks and obligations of France 3 states that the latter ‘shall assert its specific role as a regional and local channel’ and give priority to ‘decentralised news coverage and regional events’.
Lithuanian: Kanalų veikla labiau sutelkta visuomenės interesams patenkinti, o ne komercinei naudai gauti.“„France 2“ skirto nurodymų rinkinio preambulėje pažymima, kad šis kanalas yra „vienintelis tik visuomenės interesams skirtas kanalas“, kurio tikslas – orientuotis į „plačiąją visuomenę rengiant įvairiapusę suderintą programą“, o „France 3“ skirto nurodymų rinkinio preambulėje pažymima, kad šis kanalas „yra regioninis kanalas“, kuris „suteikia informaciją vietos gyventojams aktualiais klausimais, informuoja apie regioninės reikšmės įvykius“.

English: It is settled case-law that Article 86 of the Treaty constitutes, for undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest, a derogation from the ban on State aid [15]. The Court’s judgment in Altmark implicitly confirms that State aid which compensates for the costs incurred by an undertaking in providing a service of general economic interest may be declared compatible with the common market if the conditions laid down in Article 86(2) of the Treaty are met.
Latvian: Saskaņā ar konstantu jurisprudenci Līguma 86. pants apstiprina uzņēmumiem, kam uzticēta vispārēju ekonomisko interešu pakalpojumu pārraudzīšana, atļauju atkāpties no līguma prasībām par valsts finansiālu atbalstu aizliegumu [15]Altmark spriedums skaidri apstiprina, ka valsts finansiāls atbalsts, kas kompensē izmaksas, kas radušās uzņēmumam vispārēju ekonomisko interešu pakalpojuma piegādāšanai, var tik uzskatīts kā saderīgs ar kopējo tirgu, ja Līguma 86. panta 2. punktā noteiktie nosacījumi ir tikuši ievēroti.
