English: In terms of the net result, it would make no difference. However, it has to be ensured that these advantages only benefit the public service tasks and do not spill over to the commercial activities.
French: Pour le résultat net, il n’y aurait pas de différence, mais le cas échéant, il y aurait eu lieu de veiller à ce que ces avantages ne soient allés qu’à la mission de service public et non aux activités commerciales.
English: The executive order of 18 August 1997 stipulated that to finance any possible operating loss, the free capital — i.e. capital minus reserves and other tied resources — for nationwide activities should amount to at least DKK 200 million by the end of 2000. The free capital was to be built up so that it would total at least DKK 50 million by the end of 1998 and at least DKK 100 million by the end of 1999. From 2001, the free capital at any one time was to be at least DKK 200 million, based on the latest accounts. If capital was expected to fall below these figures, the matter was to be put before the Minister of Culture. In special cases the Minister of Culture can, after consulting the National Audit Office, approve a lower amount of capital, to which he may attach specific conditions.
French: L’arrêté du 18 août 1997 stipule qu'«en vue du financement d’un éventuel déficit d’exploitation, les capitaux propres disponibles, c’est-à-dire le capital propre moins les placements et autres ressources immobilisées, pour l’activité nationale doivent représenter, à compter du 31 décembre 2000, au moins 200 millions DKK Ce capital propre disponible doit être constitué de façon à représenter au 31 décembre 1998 au moins 50 millions DKK et au 31 décembre 1999 au moins 100 millions DKK. À partir de 2001, le capital propre disponible doit représenter en permanence au moins 200 millions DKK d’après le dernier bilan comptable. Si les prévisions indiquent un capital propre inférieur au montant requis, l’affaire est présentée au ministre de la culture. Dans certains cas, le ministre de la culture peut approuver un capital propre moins élevé après consultation de la Rigsrevisionen. Cette autorisation peut être soumise à des conditions détaillées».
English: Leaving aside the question of whether this claim is correct, the Commission considers that such behaviour would be possible given TV2’s strong position on the market. However, the present investigation has to establish whether or not TV2, through its behaviour on the advertising market, attempted to maximise its revenue.
French: Abstraction faite de la validité de cette affirmation, la Commission considère qu’un tel comportement serait possible eu égard à la forte position que TV2 occupe sur le marché, mais dans le cas d’espèce, il s’agit de déterminer, d’après son comportement sur le marché, si effectivement TV2 n’a pas cherché à maximaliser ses revenus.
English: The foregoing shows that TV2’s prices were higher than TVDanmark’s during the period under investigation. It is also clear that, despite increases in listed prices, the actual price level was declining during that time.
French: Eu égard aux considérations qui précèdent, on peut constater que les prix de TV2 ont été plus élevés que ceux de TvDanmark au cours de la période étudiée, mais il est également évident que le niveau réel des prix a baissé pendant cette période, même si les barèmes ont augmenté.
English: The Commission received observations from the Danish authorities by letter of 24 March 2003. The Commission also received comments from several interested parties.
Italian: La Commissione ha ricevuto le osservazioni delle autorità danesi con lettera del 24 marzo 2003.
Polish: Komisja otrzymała uwagi od władz duńskich w piśmie z dnia 24 marca 2003 r. Komisja otrzymała także uwagi innych zainteresowanych stron.
English: TVDanmark submitted comments by letter of 14 April 2003. The Association of Commercial Television in Europe (ACT) sent comments in a letter dated 14 April 2003. The commercial television stations Antena 3 TV and Gestevisión Telecinco submitted comments on 16 April 2003. The commercial station TV3 submitted comments in a letter of 14 April 2003.
Italian: Inoltre, le hanno inviato osservazioni vari interessati: TVDanmark, con lettera del 14 aprile 2003; l’associazione delle televisioni commerciali europee (ACT), con lettera del 14 aprile 2003; le emittenti televisive commerciali Antena 3 TV e Gestevisión Telecinco, il 16 aprile 2003; l’emittente televisiva commerciale TV3, con lettera del 14 aprile 2003.
English: Between 1995 and 2002 two commercial broadcasters, TVDanmark and TV3/3+, were active on the Danish nationwide television broadcasting market, in addition to the public broadcasters. The commercial broadcasters competed with TV2 on the nationwide television advertising market. TVDanmark is part of SBS Broadcasting SA and broadcast two channels in Denmark.
Italian: Fra il 1995 e il 2002, oltre alle emittenti televisive pubbliche, sul mercato televisivo nazionale danese a copertura nazionale operavano due emittenti commerciali, TVDanmark e TV3/3+, in concorrenza con TV2 sul mercato nazionale della pubblicità televisiva.
English: Chapter 6 deals with local radio and television services. The main requirement is to obtain a broadcasting licence.
Italian: Il capitolo 6 regolamenta i servizi di radio e televisioni locali, che per trasmettere devono in primo luogo ottenere una licenza, come stabilito dalle disposizioni in materia di programmi imposte ai titolari delle licenze, di cui al decreto n. 874, relativo ai programmi e al decreto n. 1349 relativo alle emittenti radiofoniche e televisive locali [21].
English: Collection of unpaid fees and charges can be enforced by the Hypotekenbank (Danish Mortgage Bank). Unpaid sums can, for example, be deducted from the salary of the person concerned in accordance with the rules on collection of personal taxes as laid down in the Deduction of Taxes at Source Act.
Italian: I canoni e altri oneri non pagati possono essere riscossi da Hypotekenbank (la banca ipotecaria danese), ad esempio, mediante prelievo dalla retribuzione del debitore, conformemente alle norme relative al prelievo dell’imposta sulle persone fisiche, figuranti nella legge sulla ritenuta alla fonte.
Dutch: Niet-betaalde heffingen en bijdragen kunnen door de Hypotekenbank (de Deense hypotheekbank) worden geïnd, bijvoorbeeld via inhoudingen op het salaris van de betrokkene overeenkomstig de regels betreffende het innen van persoonlijke belastingen in de Deense Wet op de bronbelasting.
English: TV2’s regional services were not liable for payment of the fee as those services broadcast in ‘windows’ on TV2’s national frequency. The commercial television station TVDanmark was the only operator that paid this fee, for its second channel.
Italian: Le attività regionali di TV2 non erano assoggettate al canone, poiché erano trasmesse in «finestre» della frequenza a copertura nazionale di TV2.
English: Regarding TV2’s behaviour in the advertising market, the Danish authorities pointed out that TV2 had consistently set its prices so as to maximise revenue. Prices were set purely according to supply and demand.
Italian: Per quanto riguarda il comportamento di TV2 sul mercato pubblicitario, le autorità danesi hanno osservato che TV2 aveva sempre fissato i suoi prezzi in modo da ottenere il massimo rendimento possibile.
Portuguese: Relativamente ao comportamento da TV2 no mercado da publicidade, as autoridades dinamarquesas alegaram que a TV2 tem vindo sempre a fixar os seus preços de forma a maximizar as receitas.
Romanian: În ceea ce privește practicile TV2 pe piața de publicitate, autoritățile daneze au precizat că TV2 și-a stabilit în mod constant prețurile astfel încât să își maximizeze veniturile.
English: There was no obligation to transfer revenue from TV2 Reklame to the TV2 Fund. The transfer was instead decided by the Danish State [37].
Italian: Non sussisteva alcun obbligo di trasferire i proventi da TV2 Reklame al Fondo TV2: il trasferimento è stato deciso dallo Stato danese [37].
English: There was no obligation to transfer money from the TV2 Fund to TV2 every year. Rather, the transfer to TV2 was decided by the Danish State. For under the law the TV2 Fund was obliged to transfer funds to TV2 in accordance with the framework budgets laid down by the Minister of Culture [38].
Italian: Non sussisteva alcun obbligo di trasferire i proventi dal Fondo TV2 a TV2 ogni anno: tale trasferimento era piuttosto deciso dallo Stato danese; infatti, a norma di legge, il Fondo TV2 era tenuto a trasferire i fondi a TV2 conformemente ai bilanci quadro stabiliti dal ministro della Cultura [38].
English: The media agreements were published in press releases and the Official Record of Parliamentary Proceedings (Folketingstidende). The legislation that was to implement the media agreements was published in the Danish Official Gazette (Lovtidende).
Italian: Gli accordi sui mass media erano pubblicati nei comunicati stampa e negli atti parlamentari (Folketingstidende) e le norme di attuazione degli accordi sui mass media erano state pubblicate sulla gazzetta ufficiale danese (Lovtidende).
English: However, the economic reports prepared by KPMG only gave estimates of the amount of advertising revenue accruing to TV2 (i.e. the income side). They said nothing about the cost side of the compensation calculation, and it seems to the Commission that the media agreements were based solely on indexation of TV2’s costs in the previous years.
Italian: Tuttavia, le relazioni economiche di KPMG hanno fornito solo stime degli introiti pubblicitari di TV2 (cioè sul lato delle entrate), mentre non hanno menzionato la componente dei costi ai fini del calcolo della compensazione; al riguardo, sembra che gli accordi sui media si basassero esclusivamente sull’indicizzazione dei costi di TV2 negli anni precedenti.
English: In this connection, the Commission notes that in 2000 the National Audit Office carried out a specific investigation into the substance and nature of TV2’s public service obligations and how they were met in practice. The investigation found no failure on the part of TV2 to comply with its public service obligations.
Italian: In tale riguardo, la Commissione osserva che nel 2000 la Corte dei conti danese ha proceduto a un’indagine speciale sul contenuto e il carattere della funzione di servizio pubblico di TV2, esaminando anche come tali obblighi erano stati soddisfatti nella prassi.. Tale indagine non ha rivelato manchevolezze nell’adempimento degli obblighi di servizio pubblico da parte di TV2.
Maltese: F’dan il-kuntest, il-Kummissjoni tinnota li fl-2000, l-Uffiċċju ta’ Verifika Nazzjonali għamel investigazzjoni speċifika dwar is-sustanza u n-natura tal-obbligi tas-servizz pubbliku ta’ TV2 u dwar kif dawn ġew sodisfatti fil-prattika Din l-investigazzjoni ma sabet l-ebda nuqqas ta’ konformità min-naħa ta’ TV2 mal-obbligi ta’ servizz pubbliku.
English: The main recommendation made by the National Audit Office was that the State should inject approximately DKK 530 million of capital into TV2 by converting the start-up loans. This would give TV2 capital of approximately DKK 350 million and a solvency ratio of around 50 %.
Italian: La Corte dei conti danese ha quindi raccomandato soprattutto che lo Stato apportasse circa 530 milioni di DKK al capitale di TV2 tramite la conversione dei prestiti all’avviamento, il che avrebbe permesso a TV2 di disporre di un capitale di 350 milioni di DKK e di un coefficiente di solvibilità del 50 % circa.
English: However, it was decided that the State would not contribute the capital all at once. TV2 would instead itself build up the necessary capital through ongoing surpluses.
Italian: Tuttavia, è stato deciso che il rafforzamento con capitale statale non sarebbe avvenuto in un’unica soluzione, ma TV2 avrebbe essa stessa provveduto al rafforzamento del proprio capitale mediante le eccedenze correnti.
Polish: Postanowiono jednak, że państwo nie wniesie całego kapitału jednorazowo Zamiast tego TV2 sama będzie gromadzić niezbędny kapitał, korzystając z bieżących nadwyżek.
English: Under the agreement, TV2 was to be converted with a view to privatisation as soon as possible. An analysis was made of the financial basis for converting TV2 into a limited company.
Italian: Ai sensi dell’accordo, TV2 doveva essere convertita quanto prima, in vista della privatizzazione, ragion per cui è stata effettuata un’analisi delle esigenze finanziarie necessarie per trasformare TV2 in una società per azioni.
English: In addition, it should also be noted that during the period under investigation, TV2 was precluded from using ordinary loan financing. Investment loans were permitted for up to 4 % of revenue, based on the most recent accounts.
Italian: Inoltre, si fa osservare che nel periodo oggetto d’esame a TV2 era precluso il ricorso al finanziamento creditizio ordinario, in quanto i prestiti agli investimenti erano ammessi a concorrenza del 4 % delle entrate, sulla base dell’ultimo bilancio consuntivo.
English: With regard to what was stated in recital 198 above, it should be noted that TV2 also performs a number of commercial activities. These are fairly marginal compared with TV2’s overall activities.
Italian: Per quanto concerne quanto asserito al considerando 198 di cui sopra, si fa osservare che TV2 esercita anche una serie di attività commerciali, che sono peraltro marginali rispetto all’insieme delle sue attività.
Portuguese: Relativamente ao considerando 198, convém salientar que a TV2 também executa várias actividades comerciais.
Slovenian: Glede na navedbe iz uvodne izjave 198 je treba upoštevati, da TV2 izvaja tudi številne komercialne dejavnosti.
English: As for the advantage that TV2 receives from its access to the transmission frequency, the Commission notes that this is inseparably linked to the public service mission. The Commission also considers that in line with the Broadcasting Communication, the financing costs (interest advantages) can be fully attributed to the public service activities.
Italian: Per quanto concerne il vantaggio che TV2 riceve dall’accesso alle frequenze, la Commissione fa osservare che ciò è indissolubilmente legato alla funzione di servizio pubblico, aggiungendo altresì che, in sintonia con la comunicazione summenzionata, i costi del finanziamento (tassi d’interesse agevolato) possono essere attribuiti nella loro totalità alle attività di servizio pubblico.
English: To neutralise the effect of the tax exemption that the public service activities enjoy, 30 % of the profits from commercial activities are transferred to the public service side. This has only been done since 2001.
Italian: Per neutralizzare l’effetto dell’esenzione fiscale di cui beneficiano le attività di servizio pubblico, il 30 % dei profitti prodotti dalle attività commerciali è trasferito a favore del servizio pubblico, ma tale procedura è stata avviata solo nel 2001.
English: Instead, the Commission has analysed data on the financial performance of TVDanmark and SBS Broadcasting. As a result of its analysis, the Commission cannot establish with certainty whether the losses incurred stem from the fact that TVDanmark had high initial start-up costs which it has not yet been able to recover or whether it is in fact not performing efficiently.
Italian: Di converso, la Commissione ha analizzato i dati sui risultati finanziari di TVDanmark e SBS Broadcasting, senza tuttavia poter determinare con sicurezza se le perdite subite siano dovute al fatto che, all’inizio, TvDanmark avesse dovuto sostenere costi elevati di avviamento, che non ha ancora potuto recuperare, oppure se, in effetti, TvDanmark non sia efficiente nelle sue operazioni.
English: In 2000, TV2 expected competition to intensify and did not raise its prices. Actual prices did indeed fall because of the new rebate scheme introduced by TV2.
Italian: Nel 2000 prevedendo un considerevole intensificarsi della concorrenza TV2 non ha rialzato i prezzi, che effettivamente erano calati a causa del nuovo regime di sconti introdotto da TV2.
Lithuanian: tikėjosi, kad 2000 m. konkurencija išaugs, tad kainų nekėlė.
English: With effect from 1 December 2009, Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty have become Articles 107 and 108, respectively, of the TFEU. The two sets of provisions are, in substance, identical.
Italian: A decorrere dal 1o dicembre 2009, gli articoli 87 e 88 del trattato CE diventano, rispettivamente, gli articoli 107 e 108 del trattato sul funzionamento dell’Unione europea (TFUE), ma non cambiano nella sostanza.
English: Advertisers can purchase advertising time on the Danish TV stations in two ways: on the basis of gross rating points (GRPs), which relate to the total audience aged 12 years and over, or on the basis of target rating points (TRPs), which relate to a narrower target group. TV2 is the only station in Denmark to sell GRP as well.
Italian: Gli inserzionisti possono acquistare slot pubblicitari sulle emittenti televisive danesi secondo due modalità: in base ai Gross Rating Points (GRP), punti di valutazione lorda, che sono calcolati sul numero totale di spettatori di età superiore ai 12 anni, oppure in base ai Target Rating Points (TRP), punti di valutazione del target, che sono calcolati su un target di spettatori più ristretto.
English: The Gallup-meter system records how many gross rating points each station actually delivers. This figure has then been adjusted by the station to reflect TRPs delivered.
Italian: Il sistema di misurazione Gallup registra il numero di Gross Rating point (punti di valutazione lorda) effettivamente prodotto da ciascuna emittente.
English: A meeting took place with the complainant on 3 May 2000. By letters of 28 February 2001, 3 May 2001 and 11 December 2001, the complainant submitted additional information.
Polish: Spotkanie ze skarżącym odbyło się w dniu 3 maja 2000 r. Pismami z dnia 28 lutego 2001 r., z dnia 3 maja 2001 r. i z dnia 11 grudnia 2001 r. skarżący dostarczył dodatkowe informacje.
Lithuanian: Susitikimas su skundo pareiškėju įvyko 2000 m. gegužės 3 d.2001 m. vasario 28 d., 2001 m. gegužės 3 d. ir 2001 m. gruodžio 11 d. raštais skundo pareiškėjas pateikė papildomos informacijos.
English: Two meetings with the Danish authorities were held on 25 October 2002 and on 19 November 2002. Additional information was received by letters of 19 November 2002 and 3 December 2002.
Lithuanian: Du susitikimai su Danijos valdžios institucijomis įvyko 2002 m. spalio 25 d. ir 2002 m. lapkričio 19 d. Papildoma informacija buvo pateikta 2002 m. lapkričio 19 d. ir 2002 m. gruodžio 3 d. raštais.
English: The commercial station TV3 submitted comments in a letter of 14 April 2003. The Commission forwarded these comments to Denmark, which responded by letter of 12 September 2003.
Lithuanian: Komisija šias pastabas perdavė Danijai, kuri savo nuomonę dėl jų pareiškė 2003 m. rugsėjo 12 d. raštu.
English: The Commission agrees that these measures must be considered in the present investigation. However, when calculating the overcompensation, it is not appropriate to include them in the calculation in Table 1.
Dutch: De Commissie is het ermee eens dat deze maatregelen mee in overweging moeten worden genomen in het onderhavige onderzoek, maar zij mogen niet bij de berekening van de overcompensatie in tabel 1 in aanmerking worden genomen.
Lithuanian: Komisija sutinka, kad šiame tyrime reikia atsižvelgti į minėtas priemones, tačiau jų nebūtina įtraukti į 1 lentelę ir apskaičiuojant kompensacijos perteklių.
English: The prices charged by the stations include significant discounts. It is therefore not relevant to compare listed prices in television advertising.
Lithuanian: Stotys kainas nustato numatydamos dideles nuolaidas, todėl nėra prasmės lyginti skelbiamų televizijos reklamos kainų.
English: As the Commission held in its decision on State aid for France 2 and France 3, there is a positive relationship between the average number of contacts and the average net price per contact in the television advertising market [91]. Thus any price difference between broadcasters could be explained by the relative strength of the stations in terms of their ability to attract viewers.
Lithuanian: Kaip Komisija nusprendė dėl valstybės pagalbos France 2 ir France 3 kanalams, televizijos reklamos rinkoje yra teigiama vidutinio kontaktų skaičiaus ir vidutinės grynosios vieneto kainos priklausomybė [91].Todėl transliuotojų reklamos kainų skirtumus galima paaiškinti santykiniu stoties gebėjimu pritraukti žiūrovų.
English: In 2002, TV2 cut prices yet again and experienced a slight drop in total turnover. However, overall turnover in the advertising market shrank even more.
Lithuanian: 2002 m. TV2 vėl sumažino kainas, todėl šiek tiek sumažėjo bendra apyvarta, bet apyvartos sumažėjimas visoje rinkoje buvo nepalyginamai ryškesnis.
English: In 2003, TV2 was converted into a limited liability company and its name changed to TV2/Danmark A/S. For the sake of simplicity, ‘TV2’ will be used in this decision to refer to the Danish public service television broadcaster TV2/Danmark, irrespective of its legal form.
Lithuanian: 2003 m. buvo pakeistas TV2 teisinis statusas ir įmonė tapo akcine bendrove TV2/DANMARK a. s. Įgyvendinant šį sprendimą ir siekiant paprastumo „TV2“ reiškia Danijos visuomeninį transliuotoją TV2/DANMARK, neatsižvelgiant į jo teisinę formą.
English: This implies that the licence-fee revenue transferred to TV2 can be considered equivalent to the maximum amount of licence-fee revenue that was transferred to the TV2 Fund in all the years in question minus any amounts transferred to TV2’s regional stations. The Danish authorities and TV2 claim that this means that the vast bulk of the funding transferred from the TV2 Fund to TV2 in 1995 and 1996 consisted of net advertising income.
Latvian: Šāds pamatojums norāda uz to, ka TV2 pārskaitītos licenču maksu līdzekļus var uzskatīt par līdzvērtīgiem maksimālajai licenču maksu summai, kas visos aplūkotajos gados tika pārskaitīta TV2 fondam pēc TV2 reģionālajām raidstacijām pārskaitīto summu atskaitīšanas.
English: In particular, the Commission notes that the TV2 Fund kept no separate accounts for advertising revenue and licence fees, and therefore all these revenues were mixed together. The Commission regrets that the Danish authorities have not provided clear and unambiguous figures for the amount of advertising revenue in 1995 and 1996.
Latvian: Komisija it sevišķi atzīmē, ka TV2 fondā nebija nošķirtas uzskaites starp reklāmas ieņēmumiem un licenču maksām, tāpēc šie ieņēmumi bija apvienoti.
English: That repayment led to a financial crisis in TV2. Consequently in 2004 Denmark notified a recapitalisation of TV2.
Dutch: Die terugbetaling leidde echter tot een financiële crisis bij TV2, waarop Denemarken de Commissie in 2004 in kennis heeft gesteld van zijn voornemen tot herkapitalisatie van TV2.
English: A further definition of the public service mission can be found in TV2’s Statutes. For example, these specify TV2’s broadcasting obligations as regards art and culture, Danish film production, programmes for children, young people, and ethnic minorities.
Portuguese: Nos estatutos da TV2 figura uma definição adicional da missão de serviço público, que estabelece, por exemplo, as obrigações de radiodifusão no que diz respeito às artes e à cultura, à produção de filmes dinamarqueses, à programação para crianças, jovens e minorias étnicas.
Dutch: Een andere definitie staat in de statuten van TV2, waarin onder andere is bepaald aan welke verplichtingen de uitzendactiviteiten van TV2 zijn onderworpen op het gebied van kunst en cultuur, Deense filmproducties en programma's voor kinderen, jongeren en etnische minderheden.
