Seduta Numru 450 20/04/2021 Mistoqsija Parlamentari 20520 Seduta 450 PUBLIC SERVICE OBLIGATION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") AN AGREEMENT entered into this 1sr day of September 2020 BETWEEN (A) Of the one part THE GOVERNMENT OF MALTA, hereon represented by Mr Mario Cutajar in his capacity as Principal Permanent Secretary (hereinafter referred to as the "Government"); AND (B) Of the other part PUBLIC BROADCASTING SERVICES LIMITED, a duly established broadcast service provider having its registered office at No. 75, St. Luke's Road, G'Mangia, Pieta, Malta, bearing compan)' registration number Cl3140 hereon represented by Dott. Toniu Portughese, in his capacity as Chairman of the said company, (hereinafter referred to as "PBS"). (The Government and PBS are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Parties" or separately as "Party") WHEREBY IT IS BEING PREMISED THAT: i. The Government declares that an independent public broadcasting service is essential to a democracy, and the Government recognizes PBS as the sole company catering for public broadcasting, which guarantees that its programmes are presented in a balanced and impartial manner as provided for by the Constitution of Malta. PBS should, as the national broadcaster, represent and fairly treat different views and values present in society. PBS should also carry programmes that fulfil a public service obligation, and Government shall support PBS in this regard, and for this end is entering into this Public Service Obligation Agreement; ii. Considering that the obligation of PBS to broadcast public service obligation programmes emanates also from the Broadcasting Act, and other rules and regulations currently in force, as well as from applicable European and international covenants; iii. The Parties agree that all the above-mentioned should be institutionally safeguarded by the setting up of and through this Public Service Obligation Agreement; iv. PBS shall not receive any subsidies for its public service obligations, other than these stipulated in this Agreement; v. Since it is unlikely that PBS will be able to provide on a profitable basis its public service obligation, and the Government acknowledges the risk that same might not be provided at all, or might be commenced and then terminated based on normal commercial considerations, Government hereby therefore agrees to secure a stable and efficient provision of such services from a well-established and economically stable provider. Such services must be based upon minimum obligations required to fulfil the social, democratic and cultural needs of Maltese society, but which would not be acceptable to a commercial operator operating on a normal commercial basis; In order for any service provider to undertake the public service obligations as provided for in this Agreement, the Government recognises the need of the service provider to be compensated for any economic loss and a reasonable profit as a result of operating such public service remit under the public service obligations placed upon it by Government; lofl6 r vii. The Govenunent has therefore identified PBS as a well-established and economically stable provider of the public service obligations required, both through its past working relationship with PBS and through business and financial information provided to the Government by PBS; viii. PBS is willing to provide the services, and to accept the public service obligations, as provided for in this Agreement. tx. This Agreement is drawn up in line with the provisions of Commission Decision 2012/21/EU of 20 December 2011 on the Application of Article 106(2) ofthe Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to State aid in the form of Public Service Compensation granted to certain undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest (OJ L 7, 11.1.20 12, page 3 ).
