- Telecoms: Commission requests information from Spain on new charge on operators; closes infringement case on universal service
-
(18 March 2010)The European Commission has decided to send a formal request for information to Spain over a new charge imposed on telecoms operators to offset the ending of paid advertising by the Spanish public broadcaster RTVE (Radio Television Espanola). The Commission is concerned that this administrative charge, based on authorised operators' turnover, may be incompatible with EU law because it does not appear to be related to costs arising from regulatory supervision. The Commission has also closed an infringement case on financing the universal service after Spain modified its national law.
