[01] State aid: Commission launches public consultation on the future
framework for State funding of public service broadcasting
The European Commission has published a consultation paper on the future
framework which will apply to State funding of public service broadcasting.
This consultation gives Member States and stakeholders the opportunity to
submit their views at an early stage, before any Commission proposal, on
the possible revision of the Broadcasting Communication – first adopted
in 2001 (see <a href="http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/01/1429&format=HTML&aged=1&language=EN&guiLanguage=en">IP/01/1429).
Comments should be submitted by 10 March 2008. The consultation documents
include a questionnaire as well as an explanatory memorandum which gives an
overview of the current rules, the relevant Commission decision-making
practice and the possible scope for amendments. Key issues for discussion
are the public service remit in the new media environment and control of
overcompensation. Having reviewed the comments, the Commission may come
forward later this year with a proposal for a revised Broadcasting
Communication, with a view to its adoption in the first half of 2009.
