Madam President, I have not yet seen the letter from the Irish authorities. I assume that it relates to a normal request from the Commission regarding the completely acceptable State aid allocated to public sector broadcasting.
This State aid needs to be notified and there needs to be an exchange of questions and answers between the Commission and the Member State concerned. In the light of the responses given by the Member State, the Commission assesses whether the situation in the Member States complies with the Treaty, the Amsterdam protocol and the Commission communication of 2001. If it does, the green light is given; if it does not, there are discussions between the Member State and the Commission.
This is a normal procedure that occurs regularly. Usually, there are no problems and the Member States are given the green light fairly rapidly. Problems have arisen in some cases, in particular with the German authorities. With regard to public sector broadcasting, however, the exchange of information between the Member States and the Commission takes place without difficulty."@en1
