For tidsrummet 1983-1989 havde RTP en gæld til Segurança Social til en værdi af 2189 mio. PTE i form af manglende indbetaling af forfaldne bidrag til denne socialsikringsmyndighed.
In the period 1983 to 1989 RTP built up a debt to the social security scheme of PTE 2189 million arising from failure to pay social security contributions.
Gælden var opstået som følge af RTP's og socialsikringsmyndighedernes forskellige fortolkninger af bidragspligten for de ansattes overarbejdstimer og for vederlag til udøvende kunstnere.
The background of the debt was a dispute between RTP and social security on the interpretation on the social security deductions for overtime and artists fees.
Socialsikringsmyndighederne tog udgangspunkt i artikel 2, litra e), i bekendtgørelse nr. 12/83 af 12. februar 1983.
The social security's interpretation was laid down in Article 2(e) of Implementing Decree No 12/83 of 12 February 1983.
For at undgå retssager indgik de to parter et forlig, hvorefter socialsikringsmyndighederne gav afkald på deres krav om morarenter og accepterede en omlægning af gældsafviklingen.
In order to avoid legal proceedings, the two parties reached an agreement under which social security would waive its interest claim for late payment and accept a rescheduled payment of the debt.
Efter indgåelsen af forliget blev bekendtgørelsen aldrig trukket tilbage.
Following the settlement of the legal dispute, the Implementing Decree was never revoked.
Den 6. maj 1993 godkendte Finansministeriet og Socialministeriet i et fælles dekret omlægningen af gælden til 120 månedlige afdrag og eftergivelsen af et rentebeløb på 1206 mio. PTE.
On 6 May 1993 a joint decree of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Social Security formally authorised the rescheduling of the debt into 120 monthly instalments and waived the fines and interest due for the amount of PTE 1206 million.
Reglerne for betaling af gæld til socialsikringsmyndighederne under usædvanlige omstændigheder er fastlagt i lovdekret nr. 411/91. I henhold til artikel 2, stk. 1, i dette lovdekret skal godkendelsen være en forudsætning for debitorvirksomhedens overlevelse.
The conditions for authorising exceptional arrangements for settling debts owed to the social security scheme are laid down in Decree-Law No 411/91, according to Article 2(1) of which the authorisation must be indispensable in order to guarantee the viability of the debtor and the arrangements may be applied inter alia on the ground that, as provided for in (d), the indebted undertaking ‘has been the subject of occupation, worker self-management or state intervention’.
De pågældende undtagelsesbestemmelser kan bringes i anvendelse, hvis, som anført i litra d), debitorvirksomheden »har været besat, medarbejderstyret eller genstand for statslig indgriben«. Obligationsudstedelser
Bond issue
RTP udstedte i 1994 obligationer for en samlet værdi på 5000 mio. PTE.
In 1994 RTP issued bonds totalling PTE 5000 million.
Ifølge det tekniske prospekt i forbindelse med obligationsudstedelsen var det imidlertid RTP selv, der gennem sine indtægter garanterede for gældsbetjeningen i forbindelse med obligationsudstedelsen.
According to the issue prospectus, however, RTP itself guaranteed payment of the debt with its own revenue.

1998-lånet
Loan in 1998
Fonden for afvikling af offentlig gæld (Fundo de Regularização da Dívida Pública) og RTP indgik i december 1998 en aftale om ansvarlig lånekapital. Aftalen fastlægger betingelserne for fondens ydelse af et lån til RTP på 20000 mio. PTE med henblik på en kapitalforhøjelse.
In December 1998 a contract was concluded for a subordinated loan between the Public Debt Stabilisation Fund (Fundo de Regularização da Dívida Pública) and RTP laying down the conditions of a loan of PTE 20000 million to increase RTP's capital.
Denne fond forvaltes af forvaltningsinstituttet for offentlig långivning (Instituto de Gestão do Crédito Público). Sidstnævnte er ansvarlig for forvaltningen af den portugisiske stats gæld og for gennemførelsen af det centrale långivningsprogram i henhold til loven om regulering af statsgælden [18] og de regler, der fastlægges af regeringen.
The Public Debt Stabilisation Fund is managed by the Public Debt Management Institute (Instituto de Gestão de Crédito Público), which is responsible for managing the debt of the Portuguese State and for implementing the central borrowing programme, in accordance with the Public Debt Law [18] and the guidelines laid down by the Government.
Instituttet hører under Finansministeriet [19].
The Institute is subject to the authority and supervision of the Ministry of Finance [19].
Fra tidspunktet for beløbets frigivelse påløb en årlig rente svarende til Libor over 12 måneder RTP's lån, beregnet fra den første dag i hver periode, forhøjet med yderligere 20 basispoint [20].
From the date on which the sums were available to RTP the loan was subject to annual interest payments at the 12-month Lisbor rate, calculated on the first date of each period, plus 20 basis points [20].
I henhold til aftalen skulle lånet tilbagebetales inden den 31. december 2003 med mulighed for en forlængelse i et eller to år efter fælles aftale.
According to the contract, the loan was to be reimbursed on 31 December 2003 but could be extended for one or two years by mutual agreement.
RTP betalte ikke renter på lånet, da det er fastlagt i aftalen, at skyldige renter vedrørende de første fire afdrag skal kapitaliseres [21].
RTP did not pay interest on the loan, as the loan contract stipulates that the interest payable on the first four annual payments should be capitalised [21].
Aftalen mellem fonden for afvikling af offentlig gæld og RTP var udarbejdet i overensstemmelse med retningslinjerne i et fælles dekret udstedt af medie- og finansministeriet den 17. december 1998.
The contract between the Public Debt Stabilisation Fund and RTP was drawn up in accordance with the guidelines set out in a joint resolution of the State Secretaries for the Media, for the Treasury and for Finance on 17 December 1998.
Støttemodtager
The recipient
Det offentlige tv-selskab, RTP, blev stiftet med et charter af 15. december 1955 efter regeringens beslutning om at oprette en offentlig virksomhed, som skulle forestå leveringen af public service-tv [22].
The Portuguese public broadcaster RTP was set up on the Government's initiative by an act of 15 December 1955 following its decision to establish a public company that would be awarded a concession for the provision of public service television broadcasting [22].
Indtil 80'erne havde RTP en monopolstilling på tv-markedet.
RTP had a monopoly position on the broadcasting market until the 1980s.
I 90'erne begyndte selskabet at få konkurrence fra de private tv-selskaber SIC og TVI, som staten havde udstedt driftslicenser til i februar 1992, for at de kunne lancere henholdsvis en tredje og fjerde kanal [23].
In the 1990s it began to face competition from commercial broadcasters after the State had granted licences in February 1992 to SIC and TVI to broadcast on a third and fourth channel respectively [23].
RTP's vedtægter fra 1992 i medfør af lov nr. 21/92 (i det følgende benævnt »lov nr. 21/92«) omdannede virksomheden til et aktieselskab [24].
The 1992 statutes of RTP, which were set out in Law 21/92 converted the entity into a public limited company [24].
RTP udøver sideløbende kommerciel og public service-tv-virksomhed.
RTP performs both public service broadcasting activities and commercial broadcasting.
Selskabet kan efter loven udøve alle andre former for virksomhed, kommercielle eller industrielle, i tilknytning til tv-aktiviteterne [25].
It is legally allowed to pursue commercial or industrial activities related to the activity of television [25].
RTP udøver sine kommercielle aktiviteter gennem økonomisk deltagelse i andre virksomheder, der juridisk er adskilte fra RTP og besidder en selvstændig struktur og udarbejder selvstændige regnskaber.
RTP's commercial activities have been conducted through financial participation in companies that are legally distinct from RTP and have their own structure and accounting system.

Den anden kanal skal især henvende sig til specifikke seergrupper og forestå en mere kulturel, uddannelsesmæssig og videnskabelig programlægning.
The second channel has to aim more at specific audiences and to provide educational, cultural and scientific programmes.
En af de to kanaler skal dække de selvstyrende regioner Azorerne og Madeira.
One of the channels has to cover the Autonomous Regions of the Azores and Madeira.
For det andet opstiller aftalerne specifikke programlægningsforpligtelser for RTP [32].
Secondly, the contracts impose specific programming obligations on RTP [32].
Der fastlægges regler om programkvalitet (pluralisme, upartiskhed i oplysningen osv.) og programindhold (førsteudsendelse af fiktion, sport, børneprogrammer, portugisisk produktion og kultur, nationale nyheder og underholdning).
Standards are set for programme quality (pluralism, impartial information, etc.) and programme content (new fiction, sport, children, Portuguese culture, domestic news, entertainment).

Tilsyn
Control
Der er i public service-aftalerne bestemmelser om et tilsynsråd (Conselho de Opinião) [34], bestående af repræsentanter for forskellige opinionssektorer, som kan efterprøve, om RTP opfylder sine generelle og specifikke forpligtelser til public service-tv.
The public service contracts [34] provide for the setting up of a Public Opinion Council consisting of representatives from the different sections of public opinion that can intervene in order to assess whether the general and specific public service television broadcasting obligations are being complied with.

Artikel 5 lov nr. 21/92 giver RTP ret til at modtage kompensationsbetaling fra staten for udøvelsen af public service-tv.
Article 5 of Law No 21/92 confers on RTP the right to receive state compensation for its public service obligations.
Denne ret bekræftes i public service-aftalen.
This right is confirmed in the public service contracts.
Ud over de årlige kompensationsbetalinger indeholder public service-aftalerne bestemmelser om følgende:
In addition to the system of annual compensation payments, the public service contracts provide for funding for:
betaling for særlige ydelser omfattet af tjenesteydelsesaftaler, der er indgået eller indgås mellem de offentlige myndigheder og RTP [37]
the payment of specific services under agreements to provide services signed or to be signed by the public administration and RTP [37];
statens deltagelse i samtlige investeringer, som RTP skal iværksætte, navnlig i forbindelse med de nødvendige infrastrukturer for drift af produktions- og udsendelsesafdelinger i de selvstyrende regioner Azorerne og Madeira, i forbindelse med audiovisuelle arkiver, RTP's internationale programmer og andre investeringer, som koncessionshaver af teknologiske årsager må gennemføre [38].
state participation in all investments made by RTP, particularly those for the infrastructures required for the operation of the production and broadcasting centres in the Azores and Madeira, the audiovisual archives and RTP's international broadcasts and other technological investments that RTP is required to make [38].
Fastsættelsen af de udgifter og indtægter, der er forbundet med støtteberettiget public service, med henblik på kompensationsbetalingerne sker på grundlag af et analytisk udgiftsbogføringssystem.
In order to determine the costs and revenues of the public service obligations that qualify for compensation payments, RTP applies an analytical accounting system.
Aftalerne præciserer nærmere de kriterier, der skal anvendes i beregningen af udgifter, der kan betragtes som værende knyttet til hver enkelt public service-forpligtelse [39].
The contracts specify the criteria for calculating the eligible costs for compensation of each public service obligation [39].
Inden for rammerne af dette analytiske udgiftsbogføringssystem opstiller RTP udgifter og indtægter (f.eks. udgifter til personale og materialer) med et bestemt aktivitetsnummer (programforvaltning, direkte og indirekte programudgifter, udsendelses- og distributionsudgifter, markedsføringsudgifter og stabsudgifter).
On the basis of analytical accounting system, RTP allocates costs and revenues (e.g. personnel and equipment) to a defined number of activities (management of programming, direct and indirect programme costs, diffusion costs, emission costs, marketing costs and overheads).
De direkte udgifter for de forskellige aktiviteter fordeles efter de forskellige udgiftsansvarlige (f.eks. RTP 1, RTP 2, RTPi og RTP África).
The direct costs of the different activities are divided between the different cost items (e.g. RTP 1, RTP 2, RTPi and RTP África).
De indirekte udgifter fordeles på udgiftsansvarlige på grundlag af sammenhængende analytiske kriterier (f.eks. antal udsendelsestimer) [40].
The indirect costs are allocated to the cost items on the basis of consistent analytical criteria (e.g. number of broadcasting hours) [40].
Systemet for udgiftsfordelingen kan nærmere beskrives som følger:
The cost-allocation system has the following characteristics:
For public service-aftaler kan kun nettodriftsudgifter kompenseres efter den metode, der er beskrevet i aftalerne.
under the public service contracts, only net operating costs can be compensated for in accordance with the method described in the contracts.
Finansieringsomkostninger, ekstraordinære udgifter og reserver, der ikke er direkte tilknyttet en aktivitet, kan ikke kompenseres [41].
The financial cost, the extraordinary expenditure and provisions not directly related to an activity are excluded from compensation [41],
