In its Communication on the transition from analogue to digital broadcasting the Commission expressed its intent to act in line with ‘the spirit of “new regulatory framework for electronic communications”, which is based on market initiative and technological neutrality’ [100].
Komisjon selgitas, et liikmesriikidel on mitmeid võimalusi eraldada digitaalringhäälingule ülemineku, sealhulgas samaaegse edastamise jaoks avaliku sektori vahendeid, tagamaks, et meetmed ei moonuta ebavajalikul määral tehnoloogiate või ettevõtjate vahelist konkurentsi ja piirduvad vaid hädavajalikuga.
Therefore, any intervention by the Member States should avoid unduly distorting competition between platforms, in order to allow every platform to compete ‘on its own strengths’ in a ‘regulatory level playing field’.
Analoogselt digitaalsele ringhäälingule üleminekuga peaksid samad tingimused kehtima Hispaania ametiasutuste teatatud meetme suhtes.
In the same vein, Article 9(3) of Directive 2002/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council [101] obliges Member States to ensure that all types of technology used for electronic communications may be used in the radio frequency bands, declared available for electronic communications services in their National Frequency Allocation Plan in accordance with Union law.
Käesoleval juhul võib asjaolu tõttu, et on olemas otseseid ja kaudseid toetuse saajaid, toimuda konkurentsi moonutamine eri tasanditel.
It is true that the same provision allows Member States to provide for proportionate and non-discriminatory restrictions to the types of radio network or wireless access technology used for electronic communications services where this is necessary to ensure, inter alia, (c) technical quality of service or (f) the fulfilment of a general interest objective such as the avoidance of inefficient use of radio frequencies or safety of life.
Konkurentsi moonutamine eraõiguslike ringhäälinguorganisatsioonide tasandil
However, in the present case the Spanish authorities did neither claim nor demonstrate that the Measure would justify an exception to the principle of technological neutrality on those grounds.
Nagu juba järeldatud, saavad eelise eraõiguslikud ringhäälinguorganisatsioonid, kes kasutavad maapealse digitaaltelevisiooni platvormi, sest neile hüvitatakse kulud, mida nad tavatingimustel peaksid ise kandma.
On the contrary, the Spanish authorities argued that the Measure is technologically neutral in the sense that the private broadcasters are free to choose any available technological platform for the provision of simulcast.
Meede muudab nende käitumist tavalistes turutingimustes.
This argument was verified by the Commission during the formal investigation, where it found that such a scenario is prevented by the current licences which impose on the private broadcasters the use of the DTT technology to ensure the 96 % geographical coverage in Area I.
Tõele vastab Hispaania ametiasutuste väide, et ilma hüvitiseta ei suudaks mõned kaasatud ringhäälinguorganisatsioonid samaaegset edastamist rahastada ning läheksid pankrotti, mis lõppeks nende litsentside tagastamisega.
The Commission decisions in the field of State aid for the digital transition confirm this approach.
Sellisel juhul võiksid teised ringhäälinguorganisatsioonid taotleda saadaval olevat litsentsi.
In its decisions in the cases DVB-T-Berlin Brandenburg [102] and Digital decoders [103], confirmed by the General Court [104], as well as in its decisions against Spain on the deployment of the DTT in Area II [105], confirmed by the General Court [106], the Commission has indicated that: (1) the DTT technology is not superior to other technologies, (2) if support was given to that platform, this would constitute an unjustified exception to the principle of technological neutrality, and (3) discrimination in breach of the principle of technological neutrality prevents a given measure from being declared compatible with the internal market.
Tänu meetmele säilitavad maapealsed eraõiguslikud ringhäälinguorganisatsioonid siiski oma praeguse olukorra ja ka napid maapealse edastamise litsentsid – seega takistab meede teiste ringhäälinguorganisatsioonide turule sisenemist.
As explained above, private broadcasters pay for the transmission of their contents to DTT platform operators who therefore indirectly benefit from the measure.
Ainus järeldus, mida on võimalik komisjonile esitatud teabe põhjal teha, on see, et meetmega kaitstakse praeguste turul osalejate seisundit.
Hence the respect of the principle of technological neutrality has to be examined in relation to the platform operators.
Seepärast moonutab meede eraõiguslike ringhäälinguorganisatsioonide tasandil konkurentsi määral, mis on üldhuvidega vastuolus.
In Spain, the technological choice was made at the very beginning of the administrative process, when Royal Decree 365/2010 was approved.
Konkurentsi moonutamine platvormioperaatorite tasandil
While the Royal Decree was exclusively based on reallocation to a lower terrestrial frequency band, and, in particular, the transfer of DTT broadcasts to the frequencies below the 800 MHz band by the end of 2014, it was not until the adoption of the Act on Sustainable Economy in 2011 that the release of that band to telecommunication operators was established and that the financial compensation of the costs of the simulcast broadcasting to the exclusive benefit of the DTT platform to the detriment of alternative platforms was enshrined in national law.
Ringhäälinguorganisatsioonide selliste kulude hüvitamisega, mis on tekkinud samaaegsest edastamisest maapealse digitaaltelevisiooni infrastruktuuri kaudu, julgustatakse neid jätkama maapealse platvormi kasutamist, selle asemel, et kaaluda, kas mõnele teisele platvormile üleminek oleks nende huvides.
The Spanish authorities argued that the Measure consists only of compensation for damages due to the reallocation of terrestrial frequencies.
See toob kaasa konkurentsimoonutuse ülekandeplatvormide tasandil.
Other platforms (such as satellite, cable, IPTV, etc.) are not affected as they do not need to make the change in channels necessary to release the Digital Dividend and therefore the compensatory Measure is not necessary for them.
Lisaks toob I piirkonna maapealse digitaaltelevisiooni operaatoritele kasu riikliku tehnilise kava reguleeriv sekkumine, mis kohustab ringhäälinguorganisatsioone katma maapealse digitaaltelevisiooni alusel 96 % rahvastikust.
They have further argued that satellite is not suitable to transmit local and regional programmes in the same manner as the DTT platform and added that some premium contents purchased by the broadcasters can only be broadcasted on the Spanish territory or even only via terrestrial broadcasting.
Samuti ei ole ringhäälinguorganisatsioonidel vastavalt oma litsentsidele volitusi kasutada ühtegi teist alternatiivset platvormi (st satelliit, kaabel või IP-televisioon), et tagada ettenähtud geograafiline kaetus.
The Commission notes with respect to these arguments that on the level of platform operators, there exist different transmission platforms which could provide alternative solutions to remedy the scarcity of frequencies in the relevant Spanish market.
Vastasel juhul nad kaotaksid litsentsi.
In case of satellite transmission, for example, there would be no need to readapt the spectrum on the UHF band.
Järelikult tehakse enamik samaaegse edastamise kulutusi tegelikult Abertise maapealse digitaaltelevisiooni platvormi kasutamiseks, arvestades tema seisundit turul.
Furthermore, as it stems from the information provided by the Spanish authorities, they did not carry out any ex ante investigation (e.g. via a public consultation or a tendered study) inviting stakeholders to comment on these issues, nor did they carry out a cost/benefit study comparing alternative solutions.
Kõnealune eelis kahjustab teisi samal turul konkureerivaid tehnoloogilisi platvorme, nagu satelliittehnoloogia.
In effect, no alternative to reallocation of frequencies was considered.
Seepärast moonutab meede platvormioperaatorite tasandil konkurentsi määral, mis on üldhuvidega vastuolus.
Instead, as also explained in more detail in recitals 179-181, the Measure distorts competition between different platforms (i.e. different technological solutions) if costs inherent to the use of one particular platform are compensated.
Hinnang
Considering that alternative platforms do not produce similar costs related to the repurposing of the spectrum and are not dependent on the scarce radio frequencies on the UHF band, the Measure does not support the most efficient technological solution.
Võttes arvesse ülalpool esitatud kaalutlusi, järeldab komisjon, et nii eraõiguslikele maapealse digitaaltelevisiooni edastajatele kui ka maapealse digitaaltelevisiooni platvormioperaatoritele antud eelis kahjustab teisi eraõiguslikke ringhäälinguorganisatsioone ja tehnoloogiliste platvormide operaatoreid, kes konkureerivad samal turul, ning moonutab konkurentsi eri tasanditel määral, mis on vastuolus ühiste huvidega.
In the light of the above considerations the Commission concludes that the Spanish authorities have failed demonstrating that the Measure would be technologically neutral.
Kokkuvõte
C. Extent of distortion of competition and effect on trade between Member States
On jõutud järeldusele, et meede ei ole asjakohane, vajalik, proportsionaalne ega tehnoloogiliselt neutraalne vahend ning et see moonutab konkurentsi ja mõjutab kahjulikult liikmesriikidevahelist kaubandust määral, mis on vastuolus ühiste huvidega.
The Commission has assessed a number of State measures related to the digital switchover [107].
KOKKUVÕTE
The Commission explained that Member States have several possibilities to grant public funding for the switchover, including the simulcast, provided that the measures do not entail an unnecessary distortion between technologies or companies, are proportionate and limited to the minimum necessary.
Komisjon leiab, et meede, mille eesmärk on hüvitada eraõiguslike ringhäälinguorganisatsioonide samaaegse edastamise kulud, võttes arvesse digitaalse dividendi vabakslaskmist, ei vasta aluslepingu artikli 107 lõike 3 nõuetele ega ole seega siseturuga kokkusobiv,
By analogy with the digital switchover, the same conditions should apply for the Measure notified by the Spanish authorities.
ON VASTU VÕTNUD KÄESOLEVA OTSUSE:
In the case at hand, due to the fact that there are direct and indirect beneficiaries of the support, the distortion of competition may take place at different levels.
Artikkel 1
Distortion of competition at the level of private broadcasters
Hispaania Kuningriigi poolt teatatud riigiabi, mille eesmärk on hüvitada eraõiguslike ringhäälinguorganisatsioonide samaaegse edastamise kulud, võttes arvesse digitaalse dividendi vabakslaskmist, ei vasta aluslepingu artikli 107 lõike 3 nõuetele ega ole seega siseturuga kokkusobiv.
As already concluded, the private broadcasters using the DTT platform receive an advantage as they are compensated for the costs which they would have to normally bear.
Seepärast ei tohi riigiabi anda.
The Measure alters their behaviour under normal market conditions.
Artikkel 2
Indeed, without the compensation, as argued by the Spanish authorities, some of the involved broadcasters would be unable to finance the simulcast and go bankrupt which would result in returning of their licence.
Hispaania Kuningriik teavitab kahe kuu jooksul pärast käesoleva otsuse teatavakstegemist komisjoni meetmetest, mis on võetud otsuse täitmiseks.
In such a case, other broadcasters could apply for the available licence.
Artikkel 3
Thanks to the Measure, however, the terrestrial private broadcasters maintain their present situation and also scarce terrestrial licences, thus the Measure prevents other broadcasters entering the market.
Käesolev otsus on adresseeritud Hispaania Kuningriigile.
The only conclusion that can be drawn on the basis of the information before the Commission is that the measure protects the position of existing market players.
Brüssel, 5. august 2016
Therefore, the Measure distorts competition at the level of private broadcasters to an extent contrary to the common interest.
Komisjoni nimel
Distortion of competition at the level of platform operators
Margrethe Vestager
By compensating broadcasters' costs from simulcasting through the DTT infrastructure, they are encouraged to continue using the terrestrial platform instead of considering whether switching to another platform would be in their interests.
Komisjoni 25. aprilli 2012. aasta otsus 2012/C-213/03 2012 (ELT C 213, 19.7.2012, lk 41).
This leads to distortion of competition at the level of transmission platforms.
Tasuta levitamine kirjeldab tele- ja raadioteenuste edastamist selges (krüpteerimata) vormis, mis võimaldab kõigil inimestel, kellel on asjakohased vastuvõtuseadmed, võtta vastu signaali ning vaadata ja kuulata saateid vajaduseta teenust tellida, maksta muid püsikulusid või ühekordset tasu (nt tasulised teleprogrammid).
In addition, the DTT operators in Area I benefit from the regulatory intervention of the NTP which obliges broadcasters to cover 96 % of the population on the basis of DTT.
Tavapäraselt toimub edastamine maapealsete raadiosignaalidega ja vastuvõtmine antenniga.
Also, according to their licences, broadcasters are not authorised to use any other alternative platform (i.e. satellite, cable or IPTV) to ensure the prescribed minimum geographical coverage.
Vastab 800 MHz ribale.
Otherwise they would lose their licences.

As a result, the majority of the simulcast expenditure will de facto be spent for the use of Abertis's DTT platform given the latter's market position.

This advantage goes to the detriment of other technological platforms which compete on the same market, such as the satellite technology.

In the light of the above considerations the Commission concludes that the advantage granted to both the DTT private broadcasters and the DTT platform operators goes to the detriment of other private broadcasters and alternative technological platform operators which compete on the same market and distorts competition on different levels to an extent contrary to the common interest.
KOM(2010) 2020.
Conclusion
Komisjoni ülesanne on tagada, et protsess toimub sujuvalt ja kooskõlas riigiabi käsitlevate ELi õigusaktidega, eelkõige tehnoloogilise neutraalsuse põhimõttega.
It is concluded that the Measure is not an appropriate, necessary, proportionate and technologically neutral instrument, and that it distorts competition and affects trade between Member States to an extent contrary to the common interest.
Mitmed liikmesriigid on seoses ringhäälingu digiteerimisega (edaspidi „digitaalringhäälingule üleminek“) riigiabi andnud.
CONCLUSION
Eelkõige anti abi selleks, et toetada sotsiaalselt ebasoodsamas olukorras olevaid leibkondi uute dekoodrite ostmisel.
The Commission finds that the Measure aimed at the compensation of the simulcast costs of private broadcasters in the context of the release of the Digital Dividend does not meet the requirements of Article 107(3) of the Treaty and is thus incompatible with the internal market,
Kui oleks järgitud tehnoloogilise neutraalsuse, vajaduse ja proportsionaalsuse põhimõtteid, oleks sellised meetmed võidud heaks kiita.

The Commission's role is to ensure that it runs smoothly and in compliance with EU State aid law, in particular with the principle of technological neutrality.
Kui maapealse digitaaltelevisiooni edastajad kasutavad ultrakõrgsagedusala (UHF), siis satelliidioperaatorid edastavad telesignaale superkõrgsagedusalal (SHF).
Several Member States have granted State aid in the context of digitisation of broadcasting (‘digital switchover’).
93,5 % elanikkonnast kasutab televiisori vaatamiseks maapealset platvormi.
In particular, aid was granted to support socially disadvantaged households for the purchasing of new decoders.
Ülejäänud 5,35 % eelistab juurdepääsu televisiooniteenustele teiste platvormide kaudu.

Nagu märgitud menetluse alustamise otsuse põhjenduses 25, leidis Hispaania konkurentsiamet (Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia, CNMC), et Abertis oli kuritarvitanud oma valitsevat seisundit maapealse digitaaltelevisiooni teenuste levitamise ja sellega seonduvate transporditeenuste jaeturul (CNMC Expediente S/0207/09 Transporte de Televisión).

Abertis on kohustatud võimaldama juurdepääsu oma maapealse digitaaltelevisiooni signaalide edastamise võrgule, sest see kujutab endast vara, mida ei ole võimalik kopeerida ja mis on hädavajalik maapealse digitaaltelevisiooni signaali transportimise ja edastamise teenuse osutamiseks.
