      Directive 2002/20/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on the authorisation of electronic communications networks and services (Authorisation Directive), must be interpreted as meaning that an annual financial contribution, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, imposed on telecommunications companies operating in Spain that operate in an area greater than that of an Autonomous Community, for the purpose of participating in the financing of public broadcasting, does not fall within the scope of that directive.
