English: For all the years under investigation, i.e. 1992-97, the audits come to the conclusion that RTP essentially fulfilled its main broadcasting obligations. The audits also state that ‘with regard to the correspondence between the public service tasks provided and the compensation of the ‘real and actual costs’, there are no materially relevant distortions which affect compliance with the legislation in force at the time’.
Italian: Per tutti gli anni in esame, ovverosia per il periodo 1992-1997, le revisioni hanno concluso che la RTP ha sostanzialmente rispettato i suoi principali obblighi in materia di trasmissione radiotelevisiva, precisando inoltre che «per quanto concerne la corrispondenza tra i compiti di servizio pubblico e la compensazione dei “costi reali ed effettivi”, non esistono discrepanze significative che compromettano il rispetto della legislazione vigente».
English: SIC, in particular, stressed the absence of external audits, which should have taken place on a regular basis. It also referred to flaws found for the year 1998 as described in the BDO Binder report for that year, the only existing external audit, which the Commission should have taken into account.
Italian: La SIC, in particolare, ha sottolineato la mancanza di revisioni esterne, che avrebbero dovuto essere realizzate regolarmente ed ha fatto riferimento alle inadempienze riscontrate per il 1998 e descritte nella relazione BDO Binder, l’unica relazione esterna esistente, di cui la Commissione avrebbe dovuto tener conto.
English: Firstly, the compensatory allowances were always calculated at below the real needs of public service television financing. Secondly, Portugal systematically paid the allowances late.
Italian: Anzitutto, le misure di compensazione sono sempre state calcolate a un livello inferiore al fabbisogno effettivo di finanziamento del servizio pubblico televisivo.
English: As regards SIC’s allegation that according to the BDO Binder report for the year 1998 advertising times limits had been exceeded, Portugal pointed out that this would in no way involve a reduction in the financial compensation. The reason for that is that the amounts, which RTP received from the excess of advertising times was way below the under-financing of that year.
Italian: Per quanto riguarda l’affermazione della SIC secondo cui la relazione BDO Binder del 1998 sosteneva che fossero stati superati i limiti dei tempi destinati alla pubblicità, il Portogallo ha sostenuto che ciò non dovrebbe in alcun modo comportare una riduzione della compensazione finanziaria in quanto gli importi che la RTP ha ricevuto superando i limiti dei tempi pubblicitari erano ben al di sotto del sottofinanziamento di quell’esercizio.
English: While the registration is done with a view to later publication and the two measures are linked, it is questionable whether the exemption from registration charges can also be justified by the nature and logic of the Portuguese legal system and the mandatory conversion of RTP by way of legislation. Portugal does not dispute that the registration was still required by the Commercial Companies Code.
Italian: Mentre la registrazione viene effettuata in vista della successiva pubblicazione e le due misure sono collegate, risulta discutibile il fatto che l’esenzione dalle spese di registrazione possa essere giustificata anche dalla natura e dalla logica del sistema giuridico portoghese e dalla conversione obbligatoria della RTP per via legislativa.
English: RTP was clearly not chosen pursuant to a public procurement procedure guaranteeing the lowest possible cost. There are no indications that the amount of the ad hoc payments was determined on the basis of an analysis of the costs that a typical undertaking would incur (fourth condition).
Italian: Evidentemente, la RTP non è stata selezionata mediante una gara pubblica che garantisse il minimo costo possibile, né vi sono indicazioni secondo cui l’importo dei pagamenti ad hoc sia stato determinato in base a un’analisi dei costi che avrebbe sostenuto un’impresa media (quarta condizione).
English: As regards the year 1996, article 15 in the new public service contract stipulated that, for the determination of the compensation the profits resulting from the exploitation of the channels, may not be taken into account when summed the costs for the purposes of calculating the total cost of the public service. The ‘profits’ includes the advertising revenues.
Italian: Per quanto riguarda il 1996, l’articolo 15 del nuovo contratto di servizio pubblico stabilisce che, per la determinazione della compensazione, i profitti derivanti dallo sfruttamento dei canali non debbano essere presi in considerazione nel calcolo del costo complessivo del servizio pubblico.
English: The PWC audit report expressly confirmed that the amounts received by RTP as public service compensation corresponded to the amounts indicated in the resolutions from the Council of Ministers (see recital 41 and table 39 of Decision NN 31/06). 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.
Italian: La relazione ha espressamente confermato che gli importi ricevuti dalla RTP come compensazione di servizio pubblico corrispondevano agli importi indicati nelle delibere del Consiglio dei ministri (cfr. considerando 41 e la tabella 39 della decisione NN 31/06), sottolineando piuttosto il sottofinanziamento globale della RTP e rilevando che oltre ai compiti di servizio pubblico rimborsabili in virtù dei contratti di servizio pubblico esistevano altri compiti di servizio pubblico che sono stati svolti dalla RTP, ma per i quali non era prevista alcuna forma di rimborso da parte dello Stato.
English: With effect from 1 December 2009, Article 88 of the Treaty establishing the European Community (EC) has become Article 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The two sets of provisions are, in substance, identical.
Italian: A decorrere dal 1o dicembre 2009, l’articolo 88 del trattato che istituisce la Comunità europea (CE) è diventato l’articolo 108 del trattato sul funzionamento dell’Unione europea (TFUE), senza tuttavia cambiare nella sostanza.
English: On 17 March 1993, a public service contract (the old public service contract) was signed between Portugal and RTP. On 31 December 1996, it was replaced by the new public service contract.
Italian: Il 17 marzo 1993 il Portogallo e la RTP hanno firmato un contratto di servizio pubblico (il vecchio contratto di servizio pubblico), che il 31 dicembre 1996 è stato sostituito dal nuovo contratto di servizio pubblico.
English: Synthesis report of the external audits, point 1.4(b). [91] The translation reflects the Portuguese original, which speaks of ‘concession contracts’.

English: The Commission received comments from the complainant on 10 March 2009, which were forwarded to Portugal on 8 April 2009. Further comments from the complainant were received on 17 June 2009, which were forwarded to Portugal on 28 July 2009. Portugal replied to both sets of comments by letters dated 7 and 8 September 2009.
Lithuanian: Skundo pateikėjos pastabas Komisija gavo 2009 m. kovo 10 d., o Portugalijai perdavė 2009 m. balandžio 8 d. Kitas skundo pateikėjos pastabas ji gavo 2009 m. birželio 17 d., o Portugalijai perdavė 2009 m. liepos 28 d. Į abu pastabų rinkinius Portugalija atsakė 2009 m. rugsėjo 7 ir 8 d. raštais.
English: That external audit for the year 1998 was carried out by BDO Binder, an external auditor the ‘BDO Binder report’) [39]. (58) The mandate of the audits 1992-97 was, for each year in question, to assess whether RTP fulfilled its mandate as stipulated in the public service contracts in force at the time and whether there was a correspondence between the public service costs and the compensation payments.
Latvian: Ārējo revīziju par 1998. gadu veica ārējs revidents BDO Binder (“BDO Binder ziņojums”) [39].(58) 1992.–1997. gada revīziju uzdevums katru gadu bija izvērtēt, vai RTP ir izpildījusi saistības, kas noteiktas tajā laikā spēkā esošajos sabiedrisko pakalpojumu līgumos, un vai pastāv atbilstība starp sabiedrisko pakalpojumu izmaksām un kompensācijas maksājumiem.
Lithuanian: Jį atliko išorės audito įmonė BDO Binder (toliau – BDO Binder ataskaita) [39].(58) Atliekant 1992–1997 m. auditus reikėjo patikrinti, ar kiekvienais atitinkamais metais RTP įvykdė tuo metu galiojusiose viešosios paslaugos sutartyse nurodytus įpareigojimus ir ar viešosios paslaugos sąnaudos atitinka kompensacines išmokas.
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: Pierwszym operatorem prywatnym była spółka SIC, która rozpoczęła emisję w dniu 6 października 1992 r. Środki na rzecz spółki RTP mogły spowodować zakłócenie konkurencji na rynku telewizyjnym.
Lithuanian: SIC buvo pirmasis privatus operatorius, pradėjęs transliavimo veiklą 1992 m. spalio 6 d. RTP televizijai skirtomis priemonėmis galėjo būti iškraipyta konkurencija Portugalijos televizijos rinkoje.
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. No more detailed public service reports which led to these findings could however be accessed.
Lithuanian: prie 1995–1998 m. ataskaitų pridėti nuo RTP nepriklausomų išorės auditorių ir jų atstovų pareiškimai; šiuose pareiškimuose patvirtinta, kad RTP viešosios paslaugos įpareigojimus įvykdė; vis dėlto nebuvo galima įvertinti išsamesnių viešosios paslaugos ataskaitų.
English: In the Commission Decision of 4 July 2006, in State aid Case NN 31/06 (ex-CP 164/01, CP 60/03 and CP114/04) — Portugal Financial support to restructure the accumulated debt of the Portuguese public service broadcaster RTP, in footnote 25, the Commission clarified that the compensation amount in the original decision in case C 85/2001 should be EUR 26,9 million rather than EUR 30,9 million as stipulated originally in decision C 85/2001. As the figure of EUR 26,9 million was considered the correct amount in Decision NN 31/06, it is also be used in this Decision.
Lithuanian: 2006 m. liepos 4 d. Komisijos sprendimo valstybės pagalbos byloje NN 31/06 (ex CP 164/01, CP 60/03 ir CP 114/04) Finansinė parama susidariusiai Portugalijos visuomeninio transliuotojo RTP skolai restruktūrizuoti 25 išnašoje Komisija paaiškino, kad kompensacinė išmoka pirminiame sprendime byloje C 85/01 turėtų būti ne 30,9 mln. EUR, kaip pirmiau nurodyta sprendime C 85/2001, bet 26,9 mln. EUR. Sprendime NN 31/06 26,9 mln. EUR suma laikyta tikslia, todėl ji nurodoma ir šiame sprendime
English: A meeting took with Portugal on 29 March 2011 and further information was supplied by Portugal to the Commission on 17 June 2011, 25 August 2011 and 26 October 2011. By letter registered on 15 December 2011, Portugal exceptionally agreed that this Decision be adopted in English as its authentic language.
Latvian: Ar vēstuli, kas reģistrēta 2011. gada 15. decembrī, Portugāle izņēmuma kārtā piekrita, ka šis lēmums tiks pieņemts ar autentisku tekstu angļu valodā.
English: In line with the Amsterdam Protocol and the Broadcasting Communication, Member States are, in principle, free to decide on the organisation of their public service broadcaster, which does not only apply to the broadcaster’s organisation of which content will be distributed, but also under which legal form the public service broadcaster will carry out its operations. The Commission’s role is limited to control of whether this freedom by the Member State was used in an abusive manner.
Latvian: Saskaņā ar Amsterdamas protokolu un Apraides paziņojumu dalībvalstis principā var brīvi lemt par savu sabiedrisko raidorganizāciju darba organizēšanu, un tas attiecas ne tikai uz raidorganizācijas lēmumu par to, kāds saturs tiek izplatīts, bet arī par to, kādā juridiskā formā sabiedriskā raidorganizācija veiks savu darbību Komisijas uzdevums ir tikai pārbaudīt, vai šī dalībvalsts brīvība nav izmantota ļaunprātīgā veidā.
English: Article 115(5) of the Portuguese Constitution in its form in force at the time of RTP’s transformation provided that no law should: ‘create other forms of legislation or grant other types of act the power to interpret, integrate, modify, suspend or revoke any of its provisions in such a way to produce effects in relation to third parties’. As RTP was nationalised in 1975 by an act of legislation, namely by Decree-Law No D 674-D/75, its transformation into another legal form could again only be achieved by way of a decree-law, or by a law which has an equivalent or even higher rank than that of a decree-law.
Slovenian: Člen 115(5) portugalske ustave, kot je veljala v času preoblikovanja javne televizije RTP, je določal, da: „noben zakon ne more ustanoviti drugih oblik zakonodaje ali dati pristojnosti drugim vrstam aktom, da katero koli njegovo določbo razlagajo, vključijo, spremenijo, začasno prekličejo ali razveljavijo tako, da ima učinek na tretje stranke.“ Ker je bila javna televizija RTP leta 1975 nacionalizirana z zakonodajo, tj. Uredbo z zakonsko močjo št. D 674-D/75, je bilo njeno preoblikovanje v drugo pravno obliko mogoče izvesti samo z uredbo z zakonsko močjo ali z zakonom, ki je uredbi z zakonsko močjo enakovreden oziroma hierarhično nadrejen.
Maltese: L-Artikolu 115(5) tal-Kostituzzjoni Portugiża fil-forma tiegħu fis-seħħ fi żmien it-trasformazzjoni ta’ RTP stipula li l-ebda liġi m’għandha: “toħloq forom oħra ta’ leġiżlazzjoni jew tagħti l-poter lil tipi oħra ta’ atti li jinterpretaw, jintegraw, jimmodifikaw, jissospendu jew jirrevokaw kwalunkwe dispożizzjoni tiegħu b’tali mod li jista’ jkun hemm effetti fuq partijiet terzi.” Peress li RTP ġiet nazzjonalizzata fl-1975 minn att ta’ leġiżlazzjoni, jiġifieri bid-Digriet Liġi Nru D 674-D/75, it-trasformazzjoni tagħha f’forma legali oħra setgħet biss isseħħ permezz ta’ Digriet Liġi, jew permezz ta’ liġi li għandha grad ekwivalenti jew anki ogħla minn dak ta’ Digriet Liġi.
English: The new audits for the years 1992 to 1997 have been organised by the national media regulator, namely the Entidade Reguladora para a Comunicação Social, ERC. The ERC is an independent administrative body which, in accordance with the Portuguese Constitution, is responsible for ensuring, among other things, the respect for the statutes and rules governing mass media activity.
Maltese: L-awditjar il-ġdid mis-snin 1992 sal-1997 ġie organizzat mir-regolatur tal-midja nazzjonali, jiġifieri l-Entidade Reguladora para a Comunicação Social, ERC L-ERC hija korp amministrattiv indipendenti li, konformi mal-Kostituzzjoni Portugiża, hija responsabbli biex tiżgura, fost affarijiet oħra, li jiġu rrispettati l-istatuti u r-regoli li jirregolaw l-attività tal-mezzi tal-kommunikazzjoini tal-massa.
English: However, that period was extended to 1993. Summarising the findings of the report, SIC underlines that there was a lack of strategy for defining RTP’s programmes and internal board directives concerning cost limits were not observed and annual budget drawn up were not complied with.
Dutch: De conclusies van het verslag samenvattend onderstreept SIC dat een strategie ontbrak om de programma’s van RTP te definiëren en dat de richtsnoeren van het interne accountantscomité betreffende de kostenbeperkingen niet werden nageleefd en de jaarlijkse begrotingen niet in acht werden genomen.

English: The Commission received comments from the complainant on 10 March 2009, which were forwarded to Portugal on 8 April 2009. Further comments from the complainant were received on 17 June 2009, which were forwarded to Portugal on 28 July 2009. 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. The Commission sent an information request to Portugal on 10 May 2010, requesting in particular that independent external audits of the public service reports for the period from 1992 to 1997 be conducted.
Polish: W dniu 10 marca 2009 r. Komisja otrzymała od skarżącego uwagi, które przekazano Portugalii w dniu 8 kwietnia 2009 r. Dalsze uwagi od skarżącego wpłynęły w dniu 17 czerwca 2009 r. i zostały przekazane Portugalii w dniu 28 lipca 2009 r. Portugalia udzieliła odpowiedzi na oba zestawy uwag pismami z dnia 7 i 8 września 2009 r. Portugalia przekazała Komisji dodatkowe informacje w dniach 23 lutego, 4 marca i 15 kwietnia 2010 r. W dniu 10 maja 2010 r. Komisja przesłała Portugalii wezwanie do udzielenia informacji, w którym zwróciła się w szczególności z prośbą o przeprowadzenie niezależnych audytów zewnętrznych sprawozdań z wykonania usługi publicznej za lata 1992–1997.
English: This principle was introduced into the Portuguese Constitution in 1982, that is to say, long before the transformation of RTP in 1992 took place. Article 115(5) of the Portuguese Constitution in its form in force at the time of RTP’s transformation provided that no law should: ‘create other forms of legislation or grant other types of act the power to interpret, integrate, modify, suspend or revoke any of its provisions in such a way to produce effects in relation to third parties’.
Polish: Zasada ta została wprowadzona do portugalskiej konstytucji w 1982 r., tj. na długo przed przekształceniem przedsiębiorstwa RTP, które miało miejsce w 1992 r. Artykuł 115 ust. 5 portugalskiej konstytucji, w brzmieniu obowiązującym w czasie przekształcenia przedsiębiorstwa RTP, stanowił, że żadna ustawa nie może „tworzyć innych kategorii aktów ustawodawczych ani nadawać innego rodzaju aktom prawnym kompetencji interpretowania, przejmowania, nowelizowania, zawieszania lub uchylania któregokolwiek z zawartych w niej przepisów, tak aby spowodować skutki dla osób trzecich”.
English: However, the wide scope of Article 11(2) of Law No 21/92 does not preclude that exemptions from notarial requirements (and costs) would be possible for other situations than the 1992 transformation of RTP into a public limited company. It is sufficient to state that a permanent exemption in favour of one company (or one group of companies such as public limited companies) from various registration charges can never be within the nature and logic of a legal system [68].
Polish: Szeroki zakres art. 11 ust. 2 ustawy nr 21/92 nie wyklucza jednak, że zwolnienia z obowiązków sporządzenia aktu notarialnego (i powiązanych kosztów) byłyby możliwe w odniesieniu do sytuacji innych niż przekształcenie przedsiębiorstwa RTP w spółkę akcyjną w 1992 r. Wystarczy stwierdzić, że stałe zwolnienie jednej spółki (lub jednej grupy spółek, takich spółki akcyjne) z różnych opłat rejestracyjnych nigdy nie może być zgodne z charakterem i logiką systemu prawnego [68].
English: A number of audit reports mention that RTP could have requested a higher amount of compensation but was prevented from doing so due to the terms of the public service contracts, due to Article 15(4) of the old public service contract and Article 19(3) of the 1996 new public service contract. The individual external audits for the years 1994, 1996 and 1997 contain statements regarding the difference between the high costs actually incurred by RTP for providing the public service and the compensation received by it which was less than the costs incurred [92].
Polish: W kilku sprawozdaniach z audytu wspomina się o tym, że spółka RTP mogła wystąpić o wyższą rekompensatę, ale nie uczyniła tego ze względu na warunki zamówień publicznych na usługi, wynikające z art. 15 ust. 4 starego zamówienia publicznego na usługi oraz art. 19 ust. 3 nowego zamówienia publicznego na usługi z 1996 r. Poszczególne sprawozdania z audytów zewnętrznych za lata 1994, 1996 i 1997 zawierają stwierdzenia dotyczące różnicy pomiędzy wysokimi kosztami faktycznie poniesionymi przez RTP w związku ze świadczeniem usługi publicznej a uzyskaną przez tę spółkę rekompensatą, która była niższa niż poniesione koszty [92].
English: However, the concept of RTP’s public service remit was investigated by the Commission in the decision of 15 November 2003. In Case T-442/03, the Court upheld that the wide definition of RTP’s remit was acceptable [97].
Polish: Komisja zbadała jednak pojęcie misji publicznej spółki RTP w decyzji z dnia 15 listopada 2003 r. W sprawie T-442/03 Sąd podtrzymał stwierdzenie, że ogólna definicja misji spółki RTP jest możliwa do zaakceptowania [97].
English: Therefore, Portugal should abolish that law. Portugal should also ensure that any aid paid to RTP under that Law should be recovered from it.
Polish: Dlatego też Portugalia powinna uchylić tę ustawę i zapewnić odzyskanie wszelkiej pomocy wypłaconej na rzecz spółki RTP na jej podstawie.
English: In order to prove that the rescheduling is indispensable to ensure the viability of the company, Decree-Law No 411/91 requires a financial/economic study to be carried out. RTP never carried out such a study of its viability pursuant to Article 2(3) of Decree-Law No 411/91.
Portuguese: A fim de comprovar que o reescalonamento é indispensável para assegurar a viabilidade da empresa, o Decreto-Lei n.o 411/91 exige a elaboração de um estudo económico-financeiro.
English: The PWC audit report expressly confirmed that the amounts received by RTP as public service compensation corresponded to the amounts indicated in the resolutions from the Council of Ministers (see recital 41 and table 39 of Decision NN 31/06). The PWC audit report remarked on the global under-financing of RTP.
Portuguese: O relatório de auditoria da PWC confirmou expressamente que os montantes recebidos pela RTP como compensação de serviço público correspondem aos montantes indicados nas Resoluções do Conselho de Ministros (considerando 41 e quadro 39 da Decisão NN 31/06), tendo o relatório sublinhado o subfinanciamento global da RTP.
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 body responsible for 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 [61].
Romanian: În ceea ce privește reeșalonarea datoriilor către sistemul de securitate socială și anularea dobânzilor de întârziere, Comisia consideră că organismul responsabil de sistemul de securitate socială nu poate fi considerat ca fiind o întreprindere, dat fiind că nu desfășoară o activitate economică, ci este un organism public însărcinat cu administrarea sistemului de securitate socială [61].
English: The PWC audit report validated the data without any significant remark (recital 52 of Decision NN 31/06). The PWC audit report expressly confirmed that the amounts received by RTP as public service compensation corresponded to the amounts indicated in the resolutions from the Council of Ministers (see recital 41 and table 39 of Decision NN 31/06).
Romanian: Raportul de audit al PWC a validat datele fără nicio observație semnificativă (considerentul 52 din Decizia NN 31/06) și a confirmat în mod expres faptul că sumele primite de RTP cu titlu de compensații pentru prestarea unui serviciu public corespundeau sumelor indicate în rezoluțiile Consiliului de Miniștri (a se vedea considerentul 41 și tabelul 39 din Decizia NN 31/06).
