Press Release: State aid: European Commission authorises €7 million aid to support digital switch-over in Slovakia

The European Commission has approved under EU state aid rules a €7 million aid scheme supporting parallel analogue and digital broadcasting during the transition to digital TV in Slovakia. The Commission found that the measure would not give rise to a disproportionate distortion of competition and was in line with EU state aid rules, because it was technologically neutral and limited to the minimum necessary.
