English: Undertakings receiving compensation for the performance of a public service task may, in general, enjoy a reasonable profit. This profit consists of a rate of return on own capital that takes account of the risk, or absence of risk, incurred by the undertaking.
French: Les entreprises percevant une compensation pour l'accomplissement d'une mission de service public perçoivent en général un bénéfice raisonnable, qui consiste en un taux de rémunération du capital propre qui tient compte du risque supporté par l'entreprise ou de l'absence de risque.
Italian: In genere, le imprese che ricevono una compensazione per effettuare l'attività di servizio pubblico possono ottenere un profitto ragionevole, che consiste nel tasso di rendimento sul capitale proprio tenuto conto del rischio, o dell'assenza di rischio, sostenuto dall'impresa.
English: In recent years, audiovisual markets have undergone important changes, which have led to the ongoing development and diversification of the broadcasting offer. This has raised new questions concerning the application of the State aid rules to audiovisual services which go beyond broadcasting activities in the traditional sense.
French: Ces dernières années, les marchés de l'audiovisuel ont connu d'importants changements, qui sont à l'origine de l'évolution et de la diversification actuelles de l'offre de radiodiffusion et soulèvent de nouvelles questions sur l'application des règles en matière d'aides d'État aux services audiovisuels sortant du cadre des activités de radiodiffusion au sens traditionnel du terme.
Portuguese: Em anos recentes, os mercados do audiovisual sofreram importantes transformações que conduziram ao desenvolvimento e diversificação atuais da oferta de radiodifusão, o que tem suscitado novas questões relativas à aplicação das regras em matéria de auxílios estatais aos serviços audiovisuais, que vão para além das atividades de radiodifusão na aceção tradicional.

English: New technologies have enabled improved consumer participation. The traditional passive consumption model has been gradually turning into active participation and control over content by consumers.
Italian: Le nuove tecnologie hanno consentito maggiore partecipazione dei consumatori: il modello tradizionale di consumo passivo si è gradualmente trasformato in partecipazione e controllo attivi sui contenuti da parte dei consumatori.
English: These values of public broadcasting are equally important in the rapidly changing new media environment. This has also been highlighted in the recommendations of the Council of Europe concerning media pluralism and diversity of media content [17], and the remit of public service media in the information society [18].
Italian: Questi valori del servizio pubblico di emittenza radiotelevisiva conservano la loro importanza anche nel rapido evolversi del mondo dei nuovi media, come ha sottolineato anche il Consiglio d'Europa nelle raccomandazioni riguardanti il pluralismo mediatico e la diversità dei contenuti dei media [17] e il mandato dei media di servizio pubblico nella società dell'informazione [18].
English: As a first step, therefore, the Authority must determine whether these schemes may be regarded as ‘existing aid’ within the meaning of Article 1(1) of Part I of Protocol 3. In line with this provision, ‘the EFTA Surveillance Authority shall, in cooperation with the EFTA States, keep under constant review all systems of aid existing in those States. It shall propose to the latter any appropriate measures required by the progressive development or by the functioning of the EEA Agreement’.
Italian: L'Autorità deve quindi valutare, in primo luogo, se tali regimi possano essere considerati come «aiuti esistenti» ai sensi dell'articolo 1, paragrafo 1, della parte I del protocollo 3, a norma del quale «l'Autorità di vigilanza EFTA procede con gli Stati EFTA all'esame permanente dei regimi di aiuti esistenti in questi Stati. Essa propone a questi ultimi le opportune misure richieste dal graduale sviluppo o dal funzionamento dell'accordo SEE».
English: The definition of the public service mandate by the EFTA States should be as precise as possible. It should leave no doubt as to whether a certain activity performed by the entrusted operator is intended by the EFTA State to be included in the public service remit or not.
Italian: La definizione, da parte degli Stati EFTA, del mandato di servizio pubblico deve essere quanto più precisa possibile, senza lasciare dubbi sull'intenzione dello Stato EFTA di includere o no nel mandato di servizio pubblico una determinata attività esercitata dall'operatore incaricato.
English: As regards the definition of the public service in the broadcasting sector, the role of the Authority is limited to checking for manifest error. It is not for the Authority to decide which programmes are to be provided and financed as a service of general economic interest, nor to question the nature or the quality of a certain product.
Italian: Per quanto riguarda la definizione del servizio pubblico nel settore radiotelevisivo, il ruolo dell'Autorità si limita a constatare errori evidenti: non spetta all'Autorità decidere quali programmi debbano essere offerti e finanziati come servizio d'interesse economico generale, né mettere in discussione la natura o la qualità di un determinato prodotto.
English: It is not sufficient, however, that the public service broadcaster be formally entrusted with the provision of a well-defined public service. It is also necessary that the public service be actually supplied as provided for in the formal agreement between the State and the entrusted undertaking.
Italian: Tuttavia, non è sufficiente che l'emittente di servizio pubblico sia stata formalmente incaricata della prestazione di un servizio pubblico ben definito, ma è anche necessario che il servizio pubblico venga effettivamente prestato come previsto nell'accordo formale tra lo Stato e l'emittente incaricata.
Swedish: Det räcker dock inte att public service-företaget formellt har tilldelats uppdraget att tillhandahålla en välavgränsad tjänst av allmänt intresse, utan det krävs också att denna tjänst verkligen tillhandahålls på det sätt som förutses i de formella bestämmelserna mellan staten och det aktuella företaget.
English: The Authority recognises that, in the public broadcasting sector, separation of accounts may be more difficult on the cost side. This is because, in particular in the field of traditional broadcasting, EFTA States may consider the whole programming of a broadcaster covered by the public service remit, while at the same time allowing for its commercial exploitation.
Italian: L'Autorità riconosce che, nel settore dell'emittenza radiotelevisiva pubblica, la separazione contabile può essere più difficile per quanto riguarda i costi dato che, in particolare nel campo della radiotelevisione tradizionale, gli Stati EFTA possono considerare come facente parte del mandato di servizio pubblico l'intera programmazione di un'emittente, consentendone tuttavia al tempo stesso lo sfruttamento commerciale.
English: EFTA States shall provide for appropriate mechanisms to ensure that there is no overcompensation, subject to the provisions of paragraphs 72 to 76 above. They shall ensure regular and effective control of the use of public funding, to prevent overcompensation and cross-subsidisation, and to scrutinise the level and the use of ‘public service reserves’.
Italian: Ciascuno Stato EFTA dovrà predisporre meccanismi adeguati per evitare che vi sia un eccesso di compensazione, fatte salve le disposizioni di cui ai precedenti punti 72-76, e dovrà provvedere al controllo regolare ed effettivo dell'utilizzo del finanziamento pubblico, nell'intento di prevenire eccessi di compensazione e sovvenzioni incrociate e per verificare l'entità e l'utilizzo delle «riserve per il servizio pubblico».
English: In parallel with the rapid evolution of the broadcasting markets, the business models of broadcasters are also undergoing changes. In fulfilling their public service remit, broadcasters are increasingly turning to new sources of financing, such as online advertising or the provision of services against payment (so-called pay-services, like access to archives for a fee, special interest TV channels on a pay-per-view basis, access to mobile services for a lump sum payment, deferred access to TV programmes for a fee, paid online content downloads, etc.).
Italian: Parallelamente al rapido sviluppo dei mercati di emittenza radiotelevisiva, stanno subendo cambiamenti anche i modelli commerciali delle emittenti, le quali nell'adempiere al loro mandato di servizio pubblico si rivolgono sempre più verso nuove fonti di finanziamento, quali la pubblicità in rete o l'offerta di servizi a pagamento (come l'accesso ad archivi previo versamento di un canone, canali televisivi tematici a tariffa unitaria al consumo, l'accesso a servizi mobili previo pagamento di una somma forfetaria, l'accesso differito ai programmi televisivi previo versamento di un canone, scaricamento a pagamento di contenuti in rete ecc.).
English: As the Court of Justice has observed, ‘when aid granted by the State or through State resources 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’ [25]. This is clearly the position as regards the acquisition and sale of programme rights, which often takes place at an international level.
Latvian: Tiesa ir secinājusi: “Ja atbalsts, ko piešķir valsts vai ar valsts resursu palīdzību, stiprina uzņēmuma stāvokli salīdzinājumā ar citiem uzņēmumiem, kas konkurē Kopienas iekšējā tirdzniecībā, tad šis uzņēmums uzskatāms par tādu, kuru ir ietekmējis atbalsts.” [25] Tas nepārprotami attiecas uz programmu tiesību pārņemšanu un pārdošanu, kas bieži vien notiek starptautiskā līmenī.
Lithuanian: Teisingumo Teismas yra pažymėjęs: „kai valstybės arba iš valstybės išteklių suteikta pagalba sustiprina įmonės padėtį, palyginti su kitomis Bendrijos vidaus prekyboje konkuruojančiomis įmonėmis, turi būti tariama, kad ši pagalba joms padarė įtaką.“ [25] Būtent tokios pozicijos laikomasi programų transliavimo teisių įsigijimo ir pardavimo, kuris dažnai vykdomas tarptautiniu lygmeniu, srityse.
English: As stated in the Resolution concerning public service broadcasting: ‘[T]he provisions of the Treaty establishing the European Community shall be without prejudice to the competence of Member States to provide for the funding of public service broadcasting (…)’. The Authority has therefore no objection in principle to the choice of a dual financing scheme rather than a single funding scheme.
Romanian: După cum prevede Rezoluția privind serviciul public de radiodifuziune: „[D]ispozițiile Tratatului de instituire a Comunității Europene nu aduc atingere competenței statelor membre de a participa la finanțarea serviciului public de radiodifuziune […].” Prin urmare, autoritatea nu emite nicio obiecție de principiu privind alegerea unei scheme de finanțare mixte față de o schemă de finanțare unică.
Lithuanian: Kaip nustatyta Rezoliucijoje dėl visuomeninio transliavimo, „Europos bendrijos steigimo sutarties nuostatos nepažeidžia valstybių narių kompetencijos finansuoti visuomeninę transliaciją <…>.“ Todėl Institucija iš principo neprieštarauja dėl dvigubos, o ne viengubos finansavimo schemos pasirinkimo.
English: The importance of public service broadcasting for social, democratic and cultural life was reaffirmed in the Act referred to at point 33 of Annex XI to the EEA Agreement (Resolution of the Council and of the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council of 25 January 1999 concerning public service broadcasting) [13], as adapted by Protocol 1 thereto (hereinafter referred to as the Resolution concerning public service broadcasting) [14]. As underlined by the Resolution concerning public service broadcasting ‘broad public access, without discrimination and on the basis of equal opportunities, to various channels and services is a necessary precondition for fulfilling the special obligation of public service broadcasting’.
Latvian: Sabiedriskās apraides nozīme sociālajā, demokrātiskajā un kultūras dzīvē tika atkārtoti apstiprināta EEZ līguma XI pielikuma 33. panta minētajā tiesību aktā (Padomes un dalībvalstu valdību pārstāvju 1999. gada 25. janvāra Padomes sanāksmē pieņemtajā Rezolūcijā par sabiedrisko apraidi) [13], kas pieņemts ar 1. protokolu (turpmāk tekstā“Rezolūcija par sabiedrisko apraidi”) [14].
English: Moreover, public service broadcasting needs to ‘benefit from technological progress’, bring ‘the public the benefits of the new audiovisual and information services and the new technologies’ and to undertake ‘the development and diversification of activities in the digital age’. Finally, ‘public service broadcasting must be able to continue to provide a wide range of programming in accordance with its remit as defined by the Member States in order to address society as a whole; in this context it is legitimate for public service broadcasting to seek to reach wide audiences’.
Latvian: Kā norādīts rezolūcijā par sabiedrisko apraidi, “dažādiem kanāliem un pakalpojumiem plaša sabiedriska piekļuve, kas ir brīva no diskriminācijas un pamatojas uz vienlīdzīgām iespējām, ir nepieciešams priekšnoteikums, lai izpildītu sabiedriskās apraides īpašo pienākumu.” Turklāt sabiedriskajai apraidei “jābūt tehnoloģiskā procesa ieguvējai”, jāsniedz “sabiedrībai jauno audiovizuālo un informācijas pakalpojumu un jauno tehnoloģiju labumi un jāveicina “profila attīstība un paplašināšana digitālajā laikmetā”. Arī “sabiedriskajai apraidei jābūt spējīgai turpmāk nodrošināt plašu programmu klāstu saskaņā ar tās uzdevumu, kā to nosaka dalībvalstis, lai uzrunātu sabiedrību kā veselumu; šajā sakarā sabiedriskā apraide drīkst censties sasniegt plašu auditoriju”.
English: In fulfilling their public service remit, broadcasters are increasingly turning to new sources of financing, such as online advertising or the provision of services against payment (so-called pay-services, like access to archives for a fee, special interest TV channels on a pay-per-view basis, access to mobile services for a lump sum payment, deferred access to TV programmes for a fee, paid online content downloads, etc.). The remuneration element in pay services can be related, for example, to the payment of network distribution fees or copyrights by broadcasters (for example if services over mobile platforms are provided against payment of a mobile distribution fee).
Dutch: Bij het vervullen van hun publieke taak doen omroeporganisaties in toenemende mate een beroep op nieuwe financieringsbronnen, zoals onlinereclame of het aanbieden van diensten tegen betaling (de zogenoemde betaaldiensten, zoals toegang tot archieven tegen een vergoeding, themakanalen op televisie op pay-per-view-basis, toegang tot mobiele diensten tegen een vast bedrag, uitgestelde toegang tot televisie-programma's tegen een vergoeding, betalen voor het downloaden van onlinecontent enz.) Het vergoedingselement bij betaaldiensten kan bijvoorbeeld afhankelijk worden gemaakt van de betaling door omroepen van vergoedingen voor netwerkdistributie of auteursrechten (wanneer bijvoorbeeld diensten via mobiele platforms worden aangeboden tegen betaling van een vergoeding voor mobiele doorgifte).
English: In particular, in 2005, the Authority adopted the Chapter on State aid in the form of public service compensation and in 2006, Decision 2005/842/EC was incorporated into the EEA Agreement, clarifying the requirements of Article 59(2) of the EEA Agreement. The latter is also applicable in the field of broadcasting, to the extent that the conditions provided in Article 2(1)(a) of Decision 2005/842/EC are met [22].
Slovak: Konkrétne v roku 2005 dozorný úrad prijal kapitolu o štátnej pomoci vo forme náhrady za verejnoprávnu službu a v roku 2006 bolo rozhodnutie 2005/842/ES zahrnuté do Dohody o EHP a objasňuje požiadavky článku 59 ods. 2 Dohody o EHP, ktorý sa uplatňuje aj v oblasti vysielania v rozsahu, v akom sú splnené podmienky stanovené v článku 2 ods. 1 písm. a) rozhodnutia 2005/842/ES [22].
Polish: W szczególności Urząd przyjął w 2005 r. rozdział dotyczący pomocy państwa w formie rekompensaty z tytułu świadczenia usług publicznych, a decyzja 2005/842/WE wyjaśniająca wymogi art. 59 ust. 2 Porozumienia EOG została włączona do Porozumienia EOG w 2006 r. Decyzja obowiązuje również w odniesieniu do radiofonii i telewizji w zakresie, w jakim spełnione są warunki zawarte w art. 2 ust. 1 lit. a) decyzji 2005/842/WE [22].
