lpv:translated text	". Madam President, I must also say in this connection that the Commission is the guardian of the Treaties, and that it has always done what is necessary to ensure compliance with the competition rules, in particular the provisions concerning State aid in the field of broadcasting. Still on this question, I would like to add that the 2001 communication on State aid to public service broadcasting clarifies the way in which the relevant rules must be applied. It explains clearly, should there still be any need to do so, that Member States are responsible for financing this public service and for defining its remit, and that it is not for the Commission to decide whether a programme should be broadcast as a service of general economic interest or what the definition of the remit should be. The Commission looks only at whether the definition of the remit and the financing correspond to the reality on the ground. The important thing in the eyes of the Commission is therefore that the remit be defined as clearly and precisely as possible, and that if a public service goes beyond its public remit it should keep separate accounts for commercial activities such as the sale of advertising space, for example."@en1
