English: The PWC audit report remarked on the global under-financing of RTP. It pointed out that in addition to the public service tasks which were reimbursable under public service contracts there were public service tasks which were carried out RTP, but for which no reimbursement from the State could be demanded.
French: Il a noté l’état de sous-financement général de la RTP et souligné que, outre les missions de service public ouvrant droit à remboursement au titre des contrats de service public, la RTP avait exécuté des tâches de service public pour lesquelles elle ne pouvait exiger aucune compensation de l’État.
Swedish: I PWC:s revisionsrapport nämndes RTP:s underfinansiering och påpekades att RTP, förutom de public service-uppgifter som berättigade till ersättning inom ramen för public service-avtal, även utförde publice service-uppgifter som inte berättigade till ersättning från staten.
Finnish: Siinä mainittiin RTP:n yleinen rahoitusvaje ja todettiin, että julkisen palvelun sopimusten mukaisesti korvattavien julkisen palvelun tehtävien lisäksi RTP toteutti sellaisia julkisen palvelun tehtäviä, joista ei voitu pyytää valtiolta korvausta.
Greek: Η έκθεση ελέγχου της PWC τονίζει τη γενική υποχρηματοδότηση της RTP και υπογραμμίζει ότι, εκτός των καθηκόντων δημόσιας υπηρεσίας που δικαιούντο αντιστάθμισης δυνάμει των συμβάσεων δημόσιας υπηρεσίας, η RTP άσκησε καθήκοντα δημόσιας υπηρεσίας για τα οποία δεν μπορούσε να ζητήσει καμία αντιστάθμιση από το κράτος.
English: However, also for the year 1992 the auditors come to the conclusion that there was no infringement of the legislation valid at the time. Neither do they find any overcompensation.
French: Toutefois, même pour 1992, les auditeurs parviennent à la conclusion qu’il n’y a pas eu de violation de la législation en vigueur ni de compensation excessive.
Italian: Tuttavia, anche per il 1992 i revisori sono giunti alla conclusione che non vi è stata alcuna violazione della legislazione in vigore all’epoca né hanno riscontrato esempi di eccesso di compensazione.
Portuguese: No entanto, também para o ano de 1992, os auditores chegaram à conclusão de que não existia uma violação da legislação em vigor nesse momento, nem detetaram qualquer sobrecompensação.
Greek: Ωστόσο, για το έτος 1992 επίσης, οι ελεγκτές κατέληξαν στο συμπέρασμα ότι δεν υπήρχε καμία παράβαση της ισχύουσας νομοθεσίας εκείνη την εποχή, ούτε διαπίστωσαν κάποια υπεραντιστάθμιση.
English: RTP is obliged to provide public service television. Different laws lay down the definition, assignment and financing of that service.
French: La RTP est tenue de fournir un service de télévision public dont la définition, le mandat et le financement sont établis dans différentes lois.
Spanish: RTP está obligada a prestar unos servicios de televisión pública, cuya definición, atribución y financiación se regulan en diversos actos jurídicos.
English: In the period from 1992 to 1998, RTP received annual compensation payments totalling PTE 66495 million (around EUR 332 million) [14] to cover the costs of its public service obligations. The legal basis for the annual compensation payments is Article 5 of Law No 21/92 [15].
Estonian: Ajavahemikul 1992–1998 sai RTP aastahüvitisena makstud summade näol oma avalike teenuste osutamise kohustuse kulude katmiseks kokku 66,495 miljardit Portugali eskuudot (ligikaudu 332 miljonit eurot) [14] Aastahüvitisena makstud summade õiguslik alus on seaduse nr 21/92 artikkel 5 [15].
English: That advantage is also materially selective by being granted, as Article 11(1) of Law No 21/92 demonstrates, only to RTP. The fact that that law might reaffirm, as argued by Portugal, the application of a more general law, namely Law No 84/88, does not change this finding.
Estonian: Kõnealune eelis on ka valikuline, kuna see anti ainult RTP-le, nagu ilmneb seaduse nr 21/92 artikli 11 lõikest 1.
English: under the public service contracts, only the net operating costs may be compensated for in accordance with the method described in the public service contracts. The financial cost, the extraordinary expenditure and provisions not directly related to an activity are excluded from compensation [45];
Finnish: julkisen palvelun sopimusten mukaan ainoastaan nettomääräiset toimintakustannukset voidaan korvata julkisen palvelun sopimuksissa kuvattua menetelmää noudattaen; korvauksen ulkopuolelle jäävät rahoituskulut, poikkeukselliset menot ja varaukset, jotka eivät liity suoraan tiettyyn toimintoon [45],
Lithuanian: taikant viešosios paslaugos sutartyse apibūdintą metodą gali būti kompensuojamos tik grynosios veiklos sąnaudos; finansiniai įsipareigojimai, nenumatytos išlaidos ir tiesiogiai su veikla nesusiję atidėjiniai nekompensuojami [45];
English: RTP África
French: RTP Afrique
Italian: RTP-África
Dutch: RTP Afrika
Finnish: RTP África -kanavan toiminta
Romanian: RTP Africa
English: Secondly, Portugal systematically 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.
Finnish: RTP:n oli hankittava rahoitusta pankista, jotta se pystyi vastaamaan toimintakustannuksistaan, mutta ei kuitenkaan voinut ottaa huomioon viivästyskorkoja ja lainanlyhennyksiä arvioidessaan julkisen palvelun velvoitteesta aiheutuvia kustannuksia.
English: the capital increases were also designed to finance investments and not simply to provide financial compensation for reimbursable public service costs. The State’s obligation as shareholder to participate in the financing of investments deemed to be necessary is laid down in the public service contracts [57];
Finnish: pääomasijoitusten tarkoituksena on myös rahoittaa investointeja eikä vain kattaa korvauskelpoisia julkisen palvelun kustannuksia; valtion velvollisuus osallistua osakkaan ominaisuudessa välttämättömiksi katsottujen investointien rahoitukseen on kirjattu julkisen palvelun sopimuksiin [57],
Lithuanian: didinant kapitalą taip pat siekta finansuoti investicijas, o ne paprasčiausiai teikti finansinę kompensaciją už kompensuotinas viešosios paslaugos sąnaudas; valstybės kaip akcininkės įsipareigojimas dalyvauti finansuojant investicijas, kurios laikomos būtinomis, nustatytas viešosios paslaugos sutartyse [57];
English: Portugal replied to both sets of comments by letters dated 7 and 8 September 2009. Portugal sent further information to the Commission on 23 February 2010, 4 March 2010 and 15 April 2010.
French: Le Portugal a répondu à ces deux séries d’observations par lettres du 7 et du 8 septembre 2009 et a envoyé des informations complémentaires à la Commission les 23 février 2010, 4 mars 2010 et 15 avril 2010.
Portuguese: Portugal respondeu a ambos os conjuntos de observações por cartas de 7 e 8 de setembro de 2009, tendo enviado informações complementares à Comissão em 23 de fevereiro, 4 de março e 15 de abril de 2010.
English: By Decree-Law No 674-D/75 of 2 December 1975, RTP was nationalised. That Decree-Law converted RTP into a public undertaking with the name ‘Radiotelevisão Portuguesa EP’, to which all the legal rights and obligations of its predecessor were transferred under the Decree-Law.
French: La RTP a été nationalisée par le décret-loi no 674-D/75, du 2 décembre 1975, qui a transformé la RTP en une entreprise publique dénommée Radiotelevisão Portuguesa, E.P. et lui a transmis l’ensemble des droits et obligations juridiques acquis par la société sous sa forme précédente.
English: RTP had a monopoly position on the national broadcasting market until the 1980s. It operated two television channels, RTP1 and RTP2.
French: La RTP a occupé une position de monopole sur le marché de la radiodiffusion jusqu’aux années quatre-vingt, exploitant deux chaînes de télévision, RTP1 et RTP2.
Italian: Fino agli anni ottanta, la RTP ha detenuto il monopolio del mercato televisivo, con i suoi due canali televisivi, RTP1 e RTP2.
Romanian: Până în anii ’80, RTP a deținut monopolul asupra pieței naționale de radiodifuziune și și-a desfășurat activitatea prin intermediul a două canale de televiziune, RTP1 și RTP2.
English: They were carried out for that period by Pedro Roque SROC, an external auditor, that is independent of RTP [38]. Portugal also provided a synthesis report summarising the audit results for all the years.
French: Les audits externes des rapports sur le service public relatifs à cette période ont été organisés par l’autorité nationale de régulation des moyens d’information, Entidade Reguladora para a Comunicação Social (ERC), et réalisés par Pedro Roque SROC, une société d’audit externe qui est indépendante de la RTP [38].
Italian: Queste ultime revisioni esterne delle relazioni sul servizio pubblico sono state commissionate dall’organo di regolamentazione dei media, la Entidade Reguladora para a Comunicação Social (ERC), e sono state realizzate, per il periodo in questione, da Pedro Roque SROC, un revisore esterno, indipendente dalla RTP [38].
English: The external audits examined whether the public service obligations were respected. The reports made a comparison with the compensation payments by Portugal compared to the costs established in the public service reports.
French: Les audits externes ont permis de vérifier le respect des obligations de service public et de comparer les paiements compensatoires versés par le Portugal avec les coûts déclarés dans les rapports sur le service public.
English: As regards the ‘registration charges’, Portugal observes that while the registration of the statutes approved by Law No 21/92 was exempted from such charges, the registration formalities still had to be carried out ‘ex officio’. Registration formalities were considered necessary because the Commercial Registration Code (Código do Registo Comercial) requires acts relating to companies to be registered and published.
French: S’agissant des «droits d’enregistrement», le Portugal fait observer qu’alors que l’enregistrement des statuts approuvés par la loi no 21/92 était exonéré de tels droits, les formalités d’inscription devaient être effectuées d’office dans la mesure où le code du registre du commerce (Código do Registo Comercial) exige que les actes relatifs aux sociétés soient enregistrés et publiés.
Swedish: Vad gäller registreringsavgifterna påpekar Portugal att även om det gällde att registreringen av den bolagsordning som godkändes genom lag nr 21/92 var befriad från avgifter så var man ändå tvungen att genomföra registreringsformaliteterna ex officio, eftersom det föreskrivs i företagsregisterlagen (Código do Registo Comercial) att akter som rör företag ska registreras och offentliggöras.
Romanian: În ceea ce privește „taxele de înregistrare”, Portugalia precizează că, în timp ce înregistrarea statutului aprobat prin Legea nr. 21/92 a făcut obiectul unei scutiri de la plata acestor taxe, formalitățile de înregistrare trebuiau să fie efectuate din oficiu, dat fiind că aceste formalități erau considerate necesare în temeiul codului registrului comercial („Código do Registo comercial”) care prevedea obligația de înregistrare și publicare a actelor referitoare la întreprinderi.
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.
English: for the years 1995 to 1998, a statement by an external auditor independent from RTP and its representatives accompanied the reports. Those statements confirm that RTP respected its public service obligations.
French: pour les années 1995 à 1998, les rapports étaient accompagnés de la déclaration d’un contrôleur externe indépendant de la RTP et de ses représentants, confirmant que la RTP avait respecté ses obligations de service public.
English: Given the time elapse between 1992 and the public service report audits carried out in 2010, it has been difficult to access all the data. This explained the length of the investigation and the time it took to conduct new audits.
French: Compte tenu de la période écoulée entre 1992 et 2010, année au cours de laquelle les audits des rapports sur le service public ont été réalisés, il s’est avéré difficile de repérer l’ensemble des données concernées, ce qui explique la longueur de l’enquête et le temps qu’il a fallu pour réaliser les nouveaux audits.
English: The external audits state that their mandate is to assess and monitor the public broadcasting service, as provided by RTP and the payment received by it for that task. They contain a description of the information taken into account.
French: Les rapports d’audit définissent la mission des audits externes dont l’objectif est d’examiner et de contrôler les prestations de service public de radiodiffusion fournies par la RTP et la compensation perçue pour l’exécution de ces tâches.
Italian: L’obiettivo delle revisioni esterne era valutare e controllare il servizio pubblico di radiodiffusione fornito dalla RTP e i pagamenti che questa ha ricevuto per il suo mandato.
Romanian: Auditurile externe afirmă că mandatul lor este de a evalua și de a monitoriza serviciul public de radiodifuziune furnizat de RTP și plata primită de aceasta pentru sarcina respectivă.
English: The ad hoc measures do not distort competition to an extent contrary to the Union’s interest, as the measures are proportionate to the net public service cost of RTP. RTP also did not behave in an anti-competitive manner in commercial activities.
French: Elles ne faussent pas la concurrence dans une mesure contraire à l’intérêt de l’Union, puisqu’elles sont proportionnées aux coûts nets de la mission de service public confiée à la RTP et que celle-ci ne s’est pas comportée d’une façon anticoncurrentielle sur le marché des activités commerciales.
Dutch: De ad-hocmaatregelen vervalsen de concurrentie niet zodanig dat het belang van de Unie wordt geschaad, aangezien zij evenredig zijn met de nettokosten van de openbare dienst die door RTP wordt verricht en deze onderneming zich in haar commerciële activiteiten niet op anti-concurrentiële wijze heeft gedragen,.
English: This Decision contains no further description of the measures, which were not been annulled b y the Court in Case T-442/03. See recital 11 of this Decision.
French: Les mesures qui n’ont pas été annulées par le Tribunal dans l’affaire T-442/03 ne sont plus décrites dans la présente décision (voir considérant 11).
English: Clause 15 of the new public service contract lays down in detail which costs can be compensated for and how they are to be calculated. The items to be covered are: (1) the operating costs of RTP 1 and RTP 2; (2) specific services referred to in Clause 7(a) to (l); and (3) the coverage differential.
French: La clause 15 du nouveau contrat de service public donne une description détaillée des coûts ouvrant droit à ‘une compensation et de la méthode de calcul de ces coûts. Les postes à prendre en compte sont: 1) les coûts d’exploitation de RTP 1 et RTP 2; 2) les services spécifiques mentionnés à la clause 7, points a) à l); et 3) l’écart de coût.
Romanian: La clauza 15 din noul contract de serviciu public sunt prezentate în detaliu costurile care pot fi compensate și modul în care acestea sunt calculate; sunt luate în considerare: (1) costurile de exploatare aferente canalelor RTP 1 și RTP 2; (2) serviciile specifice prevăzute la clauza 7 literele (a)-(l); și (3) diferența de cost.
English: For example, it has to produce programmes for, and broadcast them to Portuguese communities living abroad, to Portuguese-speaking countries in Africa and to Macau. It is required 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 Makaó 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: In view of RTP’s technical bankruptcy at the time the loan was granted, no financial institution would have awarded a subordinated loan to it as there was little likelihood of RTP being able to repay it. Indeed, the loan was not granted by a private financial institution but by the Public Debt Stabilisation Fund.
Hungarian: Tekintettel az RTP-nek a kölcsön odaítélésekor fennálló technikai csődhelyzetére, egyetlen pénzintézet sem adott volna a vállalatnak alárendelt kölcsönt, mivel kicsi volt a valószínűsége annak, hogy az RTP törleszteni tud. A kölcsönt valóban nem magánpénzintézet utalta ki, hanem a Köztartozás-rendezési Alap.
English: The Broadcasting Communication describes the criteria on the basis of which the Commission assesses the proportionality of state funding. It requires that the State aid should not exceed the net costs of the public service mission and that no market distortions should occur that were not necessary for the fulfilment of the public service mission [98].
Dutch: In de omroepmededeling worden de criteria aangegeven op basis waarvan de Commissie de evenredigheid van de steun beoordeelt, waarbij zij verlangde dat de staatssteun niet meer bedraagt dan de nettokosten van de openbare opdracht en dat zich geen marktdistorsies voordoen die niet noodzakelijk zijn voor het vervullen van de openbare opdracht [98].
Hungarian: A műsorszolgáltatásról szóló közleményben a Bizottság felsorolta azokat a kritériumokat, amelyek alapján értékeli az állami finanszírozás arányosságát, megkövetelve, hogy az állami támogatás ne lépje túlzott mértékben túl a közszolgálati feladat nettó költségeit, és hogy ne legyenek a piacon olyan torzulások, amelyek a közszolgálati feladat teljesítéséhez nem szükségesek [98].
English: OJ C 320, 15.11.2001, p. 5. It is still the 2001 Communication which applies to this case for reasons of ratione temporis.
Hungarian: HL C 320., 2001.11.15., 5. o. Időbeli hatálya okán ebben az ügyben is a 2001. évi közleményt kell alkalmazni.

Italian: La RTP svolge contemporaneamente attività di servizio pubblico televisivo e attività commerciali, essendo autorizzata per legge a esercitare attività industriali e commerciali, correlate all’attività televisiva [12].
Romanian: RTP desfășoară atât activități de serviciu public de radiodifuziune, cât și activități comerciale și legea îi permite să desfășoare activități comerciale sau industriale legate de activitățile de televiziune [12].

(27) According to Portugal, the provision of Article 11(2) was derived from the application of Decree-Law No 404/90 [19] and confirms the applicability to RTP of a provision of general application.
Italian: Secondo il Portogallo, la disposizione dell’articolo 11, paragrafo 2 deriva dall’applicazione del decreto legge n. 404/90 [19] e conferma l’applicabilità alla RTP di una disposizione di applicazione generale.
English: On the basis of article 1 of this law, undertakings which, up to 31 December 1993, performed acts of cooperation or concentration could be granted exemption from transfer tax on fixed assets, which were necessary for the concentration or cooperation. Article 1 of that law also provided for an exemption from the emoluments and other legal charges which could be due for the performance of such acts.
Italian: In base all’articolo 1 di tale decreto, alle imprese che sino al 31 dicembre 1993 procedessero ad atti di cooperazione o di concentrazione poteva essere concessa l’esenzione dall’imposta sulla cessione dei beni immobili necessari per la concentrazione o cooperazione stessa e dai diritti e altri oneri dovuti per legge quando si effettuano simili atti.
English: Secondly, the public service contracts impose specific programming obligations on RTP [32]. Standards are set for programme quality (such as pluralism, impartial information, etc.) and programme content (new fiction, sport, children, Portuguese culture, domestic news, entertainment).
Italian: In secondo luogo, i contratti di servizio pubblico impongono alla RTP specifici obblighi di programmazione [32], stabilendo norme riguardanti la qualità dei programmi (pluralismo, imparzialità dell’informazione, ecc.) e il contenuto dei programmi stessi (sceneggiati originali, sport, programmi per i bambini, cultura portoghese, notiziari nazionali e programmi ricreativi).
English: Thirdly, the public service contracts impose specific obligations on RTP. For example, RTP must maintain audiovisual archives, introduce technological innovations in its equipment and activities, support the S. Carlos National Theatre and to provide other services to be specified on an ad hoc basis.
Italian: In terzo luogo, i contratti di servizio pubblico 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: The Minister for Finance and the member of the government responsible for the media are required to verify compliance with the public service contracts. The Inspector-General of Finances is required to audit the financial plan.
Italian: Il ministro delle Finanze e il membro del governo responsabile della comunicazione sociale devono verificare il rispetto dei contratti di servizio pubblico mentre l’Ispettorato generale delle finanze deve controllare il piano finanziario.
English: The external audits listed the public service obligations resulting from the public service contracts, took into account the various laws governing RTP’s public service obligations (for example, the Television Act No 58/90 of 7 September 1990) as well as the Public Business Plan and Budget (Plano de Actividades e Orçamento do Serviço Público) and the public service reports. The external audits examined whether the public service obligations were respected.
