It is Greece’s commitment included in the memorandum to collect revenues through the tender of TV licences, stated European Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas on Thursday.

Asked on the Greek government’s decision to proceed with an international tender for the tender of four TV licences, Schinas replied that the memorandum engages the Greek government to launch an international tender for the selling of TV licences noting that the revenues will be used for the fulfilment of the fiscal targets. “The tender must be conducted with respect to the European law and taking into account that no proposal has been tabled yet, the issue has not been discussed with the instititutions,” he added.

However, Schinas underlined that “the member staes decide on the TV licencing procedure provided that the legislation has not been yet harmonised at European level.
