Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport

General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Dr. Roderick Flynn:

On the Deputy’s second question about additionality, I can tell him where additionality does not come from because it is usually pointed this way. It is not the European Commission and not state aid rules. It is being presented as such. My understanding is it comes from the Department of public enterprise. Finally, this has to be approved by the European Commission. That is what got sent to the European Commission by us, with additionality baked into it. You would have to go back to the European Commission and ask it to do it again.
