English: the inclusion in 1996 of the operating costs of RTP 2 as reimbursable public service costs is based on the 1996 Public Service Contract, according to which compensation for RTP 2's operating costs under the Contract took effect from 1 January 1996 onwards [49]; the loan of PTE 20000 million should not be regarded as compensation since it was granted on market terms, the capital increases were also designed to finance investments and not simply to provide financial compensation for reimbursable public service costs.

English: However, as mentioned above, RTP is entrusted with a public service broadcasting obligation. The European Court of Justice ruled in Altmark that state measures compensating for public service costs do not qualify as state aid under Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty when the following four conditions are all satisfied [74]:
Estonian: Siiski, nagu eelnevalt mainitud, on RTP-le antud ametlik ülesanne osutada avalik-õigusliku ringhäälingu teenust: Euroopa Ühenduste Kohus otsustas Altmarki puhul, et riigi meetmeid avaliku teenuse osutamise kulude hüvitamiseks ei loeta EÜ asutamislepingu artikli 87 lõike 1 tähenduses riigiabiks, kui täidetud on järgnevad 4 tingimust: [74]
English: Amount of annual compensation payments from 1992 to 1998 Source: Council of Ministers Resolutions No 18/92, No 21/93, No 19/94, No 25-A/95, No 97/96, No 83/97 and No 1/99.
Finnish: (miljoonaa escudoa)
English: As regards the payment for the hiving-off of the television network, the Portuguese authorities commented in 1993 that the funding was directly linked to the process of splitting off and selling the network for carrying and transmitting television signals. The State purchased TDP from RTP.
French: En ce qui concerne les versements relatifs à la défaisance du réseau de télévision en 1993, les autorités portugaises ont expliqué que le financement était directement lié au processus de transfert et de vente du réseau de transport et de transmission des signaux de télévision.
Finnish: Portugalin viranomaiset toteavat yleisradioverkon maksusta vuonna 1993, että rahoitus liittyi suoraan televisiosignaalin siirto- ja jakeluverkon erottamiseen ja myyntiin.
Lithuanian: Televizijos transliavimo tinklo perdavimo apmokėjimo 1993 m. klausimu Portugalijos valdžios institucijos pranešė, kad finansavimas buvo tiesiogiai susijęs su televizijos signalo perdavimo ir transliavimo tinklo padalijimu ir pardavimu.
English: the inclusion in 1996 of the operating costs of RTP 2 as reimbursable public service costs is based on the 1996 Public Service Contract, according to which compensation for RTP 2's operating costs under the Contract took effect from 1 January 1996 onwards [49];
Finnish: RTP 2 -kanavan toimintakulujen katsominen vuonna 1996 korvauskelpoisiksi julkisen palvelun kustannuksiksi perustuu vuoden 1996 julkisen palvelun sopimukseen.
English: the loan of PTE 20000 million should not be regarded as compensation since it was granted on market terms,
Finnish: Sen mukaan RTP 2:n toimintakulujen korvaaminen alkaa 1 päivästä tammikuuta 1996 [49].20 miljardin escudon lainaa ei pidä katsoa korvaukseksi, koska se myönnettiin markkinaehdoin.
English: The Commission's decision to initiate the procedure was published in the Official Journal of the European Communities [2]. The Commission invited interested parties to submit their comments.
French: La décision de la Commission d'ouvrir la procédure a été publiée au Journal officiel des Communautés européennes [2], par laquelle l'exécutif européen invitait les parties intéressées à présenter leurs observations.
Dutch: Het besluit van de Commissie om de procedure in te leiden werd bekendgemaakt in het Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen [2], waarin de Commissie belanghebbenden uitnodigde hun opmerkingen kenbaar te maken.
English: In the broadcasting sector the role of the Commission is limited to checking whether the public service definition contains any manifest error. Such error would constitute an abuse of the definition of the public service.
French: Dans le domaine de la radiodiffusion, le rôle de la Commission se limite à vérifier si la définition du service public ne comporte pas d'erreur manifeste, une telle erreur constituant un abus en matière de définition du service public.
Polish: W sektorze nadawczym rola Komisji ogranicza się do zweryfikowania, czy definicja usługi publicznej zawiera jakiekolwiek oczywiste błędy, które stanowiłyby nadużycie takiej definicji.
English: For example, it has to produce programmes for, and broadcast them to, Portuguese communities living abroad and Portuguese-speaking countries in Africa and Macau. It has to ensure the functioning of RTP Madeira and RTP Açores and to maintain its production centres and delegations abroad.
Hungarian: Például az RTP köteles műsorokat készíteni és sugározni a külföldön élő portugál közösségek számára, valamint Macao és azon afrikai országok számára, ahol a portugál hivatalos nyelv. Az RTP köteles biztosítani az RTP Madeira és az RTP Azori-szigetek működését, továbbá köteles gyártási központokat és kirendeltségeket fenntartani külföldön is.
English: The Commission therefore considers that the bond issue was carried out under market conditions and the State did not forgo income. As a result, no state resources are involved.
Slovak: V rozpore s tvrdeniami tretích strán je Komisia toho názoru, že skutočnosť, že RTP je vo vlastníctve štátu, nemá vplyv na tento záver, keďže Zmluva o ES je neutrálna pokiaľ ide o štátne alebo súkromné vlastníctvo.
Hungarian: Következésképpen a Bizottság úgy ítéli meg, hogy a kötvénykibocsátásra piaci feltételek mellett került sor és hogy az állam nem mondott le a bevételekről.
English: As emphasised above, the system of annual compensation payments chosen by the Portuguese authorities had the effect of underestimating the actual costs of the public service tasks performed by RTP. The system led to an accumulation of debt. At a second stage, in order to maintain the financial equilibrium of RTP, the authorities used ad hoc instruments to finance RTP's public service costs.
Hungarian: Ahogyan az már hangsúlyozásra került, a portugál hatóságok által kiválasztott éves kompenzációs költségtérítési rendszer velejárója volt, hogy az RTP által biztosított közszolgálati funkciók tényleges költségei alulbecsültek voltak, ami által a rendszer adósságok felhalmozódásához vezetett Az RTP pénzügyi egyensúlyának fenntartása céljából egy második fázisban a hatóságok eseti eszközöket alkalmaztak az RTP közszolgálati szolgáltatásai költségeinek finanszírozásához.
English: Although Sport TV is not a public service activity eligible for compensation, RTP deducted the profits of Sport TV from the public service cost. The basis for this is Article 47(3) of Law No 31-A/98 of 14 July 1998, which provides that profits made by RTP from participation in other channels are to be used for the financing of public service initiatives.
Italian: Sebbene lo sport in TV non sia un’attività di servizio pubblico ammissibile per ricevere compensazioni, la RTP ha detratto dai costi del servizio pubblico i profitti realizzati mediante tali trasmissioni, basandosi sull’articolo 47, paragrafo 3, della legge n. 31-A/98 del 14 luglio 1998, a norma del quale i profitti realizzati dalla RTP nella gestione di o con la partecipazione agli altri canali vanno utilizzati per finanziare iniziative di servizio pubblico.
Hungarian: Bár a Sport TV nem olyan közszolgálati tevékenység, amely kompenzációkat kap, az RTP levonta a Sport TV nyereségéből a közszolgálat költségét. ennek alapjául az 1998. július 14-i 31-A/98 sz. törvény 47. cikkének 3. pontja szolgál, amely kimondja, hogy az RTP által a más csatornákon való működésben vagy részvételben realizált nyereséget a közszolgálati kezdeményezések finanszírozására kell fordítani.
English: An overview is given below of the context in which the agreements were concluded. The developments in the ownership of Portugal Telecom will be described, as well as the rates charged and the agreements reached with RTP.
Italian: Qui di seguito si descrive il contesto generale entro il quale sono stati conclusi gli accordi in tal senso, riepilogando i cambiamenti di proprietà della Portugal Telecom e precisando le tasse e diritti riscossi e gli accordi conclusi con la RTP.
Polish: Poniżej przedstawiono okoliczności, w jakich podpisano umowy, ewolucję własności Portugal Telecom, jak również pobrane opłaty oraz porozumienia zawarte z RTP.
Lithuanian: Toliau apžvelgiamas sutarčių sudarymo kontekstas, apibūdinama Portugal Telecom nuosavybės raida, taip pat sumokėti mokesčiai ir su RTP sudarytos sutartys.
English: After 1994 the network was owned by Portugal Telecom, a company created from the combination of Telecom Portugal SA, Telefones de Lisboa e Porto SA and TDP SA. After the creation of Portugal Telecom, the State periodically decreased its holding in the company.
Italian: Dal 1994 la proprietaria della rete divenne la Portugal Telecom, impresa nata dalla fusione tra la Telecom Portugal SA, la Telefones de Lisboa e Porto SA e la TDP SA.
English: In 1995 26,3 % was sold in a public offering. A second tranche was auctioned in June 1996, bringing state ownership down to 51 %.
Italian: Dopo il costituirsi della Portugal Telecom, lo Stato ridusse progressivamente la sua partecipazione nella società: nel 1995, mediante offerta pubblica, ne vendette il 26,3 % e nel giugno 1996, mediante asta pubblica, ne vendette un’altra parte, riducendo al 51 % la propria partecipazione.
English: The first channel is of a more general nature and has to offer more general programming. The second channel has to aim more at specific audiences and to provide educational, cultural and scientific programmes.
Italian: Il primo canale ha carattere più generale e deve offrire una programmazione più generica, mentre il secondo canale deve rivolgersi soprattutto a categorie speciali di pubblico, offrendo programmi a carattere culturale, istruttivo e scientifico.
English: Thirdly, the contracts impose specific obligations on RTP. For example, RTP has to maintain audiovisual archives, to introduce technological innovations in its equipment and activities, to support the S. Carlos National Theatre Foundation and to provide other services to be specified on an ad hoc basis.
Italian: Infine, i contratti impongono alla RTP obblighi specifici: per esempio, la RTP deve tenere archivi audiovisivi, introdurre innovazioni tecniche nelle sua attrezzature e attività, sostenere la fondazione del teatro nazionale San Carlos e prestare altri servizi, da precisare volta per volta.
English: SIC and TVI commented on the rescheduling of debt due to the social security scheme. They argued that RTP was allowed to amortise that debt on different terms from those applicable to other undertakings under Decree-Law No 411/91.
Italian: La SIC e la TVI hanno presentato osservazioni sulla ritempificazione del debito nei confronti della previdenza sociale, sostenendo che la RTP era stata autorizzata ad ammortizzare il debito a condizioni diverse da quelle previste per le altre imprese a norma del decreto legge n. 411/91.
English: Secondly, the Portuguese State systematic paid the allowances late. RTP then had to resort to bank financing in order to meet its operating expenditure but could not include the interest and amortisation charges in the calculation of the public service cost.
Italian: Inoltre, lo Stato portoghese ha versato tali compensazioni sistematicamente in ritardo, il che ha costretto la RTP a ricorrere al finanziamento bancario per far fronte alle proprie spese operative e le ha impedito d’includere, nel calcolo dei costi relativi al servizio pubblico, gli oneri costituiti dagli interessi e dagli ammortamenti.
English: As regards the rescheduling of debt due to the social security scheme and the waiver of interest for late payment, the Commission considers that the social security scheme cannot be regarded as an undertaking. It does not carry out an economic activity but is a public body with the task of administering social security [59].
Italian: Riguardo alla ritempificazione dei debiti nei confronti della previdenza sociale e alla rinuncia agli interessi relativi ai pagamenti in arretrato, la Commissione ritiene che l’istituto di previdenza sociale non possa essere considerato un’impresa: esso non esercita un’attività economica, poiché è anzitutto un ente pubblico, avente la funzione di gestire il sistema delle assicurazioni sociali [59].
English: Secondly, the Commission agrees with the Portuguese authorities that Article 11(1) of Law No 21/92, on the basis of which RTP is exempt from payment of registration charges, does not confer a specific advantage. It merely reaffirms the applicability of Law No 84/88 in the specific case of RTP, under which public undertakings could be converted by decree-law into public limited companies, with the decree-law having to approve the statutes of the limited company and to constitute a sufficient document for all registration requirements.
Italian: Inoltre, la Commissione concorda con le autorità portoghesi nel ritenere che il paragrafo 1 dell’articolo 11 della legge n. 21/92, in base al quale la RTP fu esentata dal pagamento degli oneri notarili e di registro, non le conferisce un vantaggio specifico: tale paragrafo si limita a confermare l’applicazione al caso specifico della RTP della legge n. 84/88, secondo cui le imprese pubbliche, mediante decreto legge, potevano essere trasformate in società per azioni mediante un decreto legge che, stabilendo tale trasformazione, approva lo statuto della società per azioni e costituisce titolo sufficiente per tutti i necessari atti di registrazione.
English: Secondly, it can be argued that the interest rate applied to the loan clearly does not reflect its intrinsic risk. Not only is it below the reference rate that the Commission normally uses to calculate the aid element in interest subsidy schemes for loans [71], but also a normal market operator would require, on the top of sound guarantees, an interest rate that compensated for such a high risk of non-repayment.
Italian: Inoltre, si può sostenere che il tasso d’interesse applicato a tale prestito non ne riflette con chiarezza il rischio intrinseco: non soltanto era inferiore al tasso di riferimento che la Commissione utilizza normalmente per calcolare l’elemento di aiuto presente in regimi di abbuono d’interessi [71], ma un normale operatore commerciale esigerebbe anche, oltre a sicure garanzie, un tasso d’interesse atto a compensare un rischio così grave di non ricevere il rimborso.
English: State measures fall within the scope of Article 87(1) in so far as they affect trade between Member States. This is the case whenever the activities in question are subject to intra-Community trade.
Italian: Alle misure concesse dagli Stati si applica il disposto del paragrafo 1 dell’articolo 87 se esse incidono sugli scambi commerciali tra gli Stati membri, il che è sempre il caso quando le attività in questione si configurano come commercio intracomunitario.
English: For the purposes of the present decision, it is not necessary to recalculate exactly all the real net costs incurred by RTP in performing its public service obligations. It is sufficient to demonstrate that the total state financing received by RTP in the period 1992 to 1998 did not exceed the net extra costs incurred by the undertaking in fulfilling over the same period the public service tasks referred to.
Italian: Ai fini della presente decisione, non è necessario procedere di nuovo al calcolo esatto di tutti i costi netti reali sostenuti dalla RTP nel prestare i suoi obblighi di servizio pubblico: è sufficiente dimostrare che il finanziamento totale che la RTP ha ricevuto dalla Stato nel periodo 1992-1998 non è stato superiore ai costi netti supplementari da essa sostenuti per eseguire le suddette funzioni di servizio pubblico in tale periodo.
English: On 17 March 1993 a public service contract (Old Public Service Contract) was signed between the Portuguese State and RTP. On 31 December 1996 it was replaced by the New Public Service Contract.
Italian: Il 17 marzo 1993 lo Stato portoghese e la RTP firmarono un contratto di servizio pubblico (precedente contratto di servizio pubblico), che fu sostituito il 31 dicembre 1996 dal nuovo contratto di servizio pubblico.
English: According to the case law of the Court of Justice, when 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. Judgment of the Court of Justice of 17 September 1980 in Cases 730/79 Philip Morris Holland v Commission of the European Communities [1980] ECR 671, paragraph 11; judgment of the Court of Justice of 21 March 1991 in Case C-303/88 Republic of Italy v Commission of the European Communities [1991] ECR I-1433, paragraph 17; judgment of the Court of Justice of 19 September 2000 in Case C-156/98 Federal Republic of Germany v Commission of the European Communities [2000] p. I-6857, paragraph 33.
Italian: Secondo la giurisprudenza della Corte di giustizia, quando un aiuto rafforza la posizione di un’impresa rispetto alle altre imprese concorrenti negli scambi commerciali intracomunitari, si deve intendere che l’aiuto incide su tali scambi: causa 730/79, Philip Morris Holland/Commissione, punto 11, Racc. 1980, pag. 2671; causa C-303/88, Italia/Commissione, punto 17, Racc. 1991, pag. I-1433; causa C-156/98, Germania/Commissione, punto 33, Racc. 2000, pag. I-6857.
English: A second tranche was auctioned in June 1996, bringing state ownership down to 51 %. State ownership was further reduced to 25 % in mid-1997 and to 10,5 % in mid-1999.
Lithuanian: Kita dalis buvo parduota viešu akcijų pasirašymu 1996 m. birželio mėn., todėl valstybės dalis sumažėjo iki 51 % 1997 m. viduryje valstybei priklausanti dalis sumažėjo iki 25 %, o 1999 m. viduryje – iki 10,5 %.
English: Furthermore, the debt with the social security scheme built up in the period 1983 to 1989 and a rescheduling arrangement was agreed only in 1993. Under the same conditions a private creditor would not have allowed a similar accumulation of outstanding debt over such a long period without initiating collection procedures.
Polish: Ponadto zadłużenie wobec programu ubezpieczeń społecznych skumulowało się w latach 1983–1989, a rozłożenie spłaty nastąpiło dopiero w 1993 r. W takich okolicznościach wierzyciel prywatny nie zezwoliłby na podobną akumulację zaległego zadłużenia przez tak długi okres czasu i skierowałby sprawę do windykatora.
Lithuanian: Be to, skola Socialiniam draudimui kaupėsi 1983–1989 m. laikotarpiu, o ji peržiūrėta buvo tik 1993 m. Esant tokioms aplinkybėms, privatus kreditorius neleistų taip ilgai kauptis skoloms, nepradėdamas skolų susigrąžinimo proceso.
English: The reference rate is based on the five-year interbank swap rate plus a premium (OJ C 273, 9.9.1997, p. 3). The reference rates for Portugal since 1 January 1997 can be found at http://europa.eu.int/comm/competition/state_aid/others/reference_rates.html.
Lithuanian: Portugalijos bazines palūkanų normas, taikytas nuo 1997 m. sausio 1 d., galima rasti interneto adresu http://europa.eu.int/comm/competition/state_aid/others/reference_rates.html.
English: Decree-Law No 404/90 applied to all undertakings that carried out acts of concentration or cooperation before 31 December 1993. The exemption from payment of other registration fees granted to RTP does not confer a specific advantage on RTP since it was applicable to all undertakings in the same situation.
Polish: Dekret z mocą ustawy nr 404/90 miał zastosowanie do wszystkich przedsiębiorstw, które dokonywałyby czynności związanych ze współpracą lub koncentracją do dnia 31 grudnia 1993 r. Zwolnienie RTP z innych opłat rejestracyjnych nie przyznaje jej określonych korzyści, ponieważ było stosowane wobec wszystkich przedsiębiorstw się w takiej samej sytuacji.
Latvian: Dekrēts Nr. 404/90 ir piemērojams visiem uzņēmumiem, kas koncentrējās vai sadarbojās pirms 1993. gada 31. decembra.
English: As analysed above, the measures compensated for clearly defined public service obligations duly entrusted to RTP. As stated earlier, the ad hoc measures are proportionate to the net public service costs of RTP.
Dutch: Zoals hierboven reeds werd gesteld, zorgden deze maatregelen voor compensatie van de duidelijk omschreven en naar behoren aan RTP toegewezen openbaredienstverplichtingen.
English: The Commission forwarded the comments to the Portuguese authorities, which reacted by letter dated 25 March 2003. By letter of 29 July 2003, the Portuguese authorities replied to the additional questions put by the Commission.
Polish: Komisja przekazała otrzymane uwagi władzom Portugalii, które udzieliły odpowiedzi w piśmie z dnia 25 marca 2003 r. W piśmie z dnia 29 lipca 2003 r. władze Portugalii odpowiedziały na pytania dodatkowe, skierowane do nich przez Komisję.
English: RTP had to pay an annual fee for the use of the broadcasting network to the owner [14]. It has always challenged the level of the fee as the annual fee was equal to more than half of the value of the network when it was hived off. Although RTP entered as liabilities all the costs of the broadcasting network, including interest for late payment, it did not pay the fees on time.
Polish: RTP miała płacić roczną opłatę właścicielowi sieci telewizyjnych za ich użytkowanie (opłatę koncesyjną) [14].
English: SIC was the first private operator to start broadcasting on 6 October 1992. The measures in favour of RTP could have the effect of distorting competition in the television broadcasting market.
Polish: SIC była pierwszym nadawcą prywatnym, który rozpoczął nadawanie programów za pomocą sieci dnia 6 października 1992 r. Działania na rzecz RTP mogą doprowadzić do zakłócenia konkurencji na portugalskim rynku telewizyjnym.
