The unlimited exemption accorded to RTP from the payment of any charges and fees in respect of any act of inscription, registration or annotation, as provided for Article 11(2) of the Portuguese Law No 21/92, constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.

The State aid unlawfully granted by Portugal, in breach of Article 108(3) of the Treaty, on the basis of Article 11(2) of Law No 21/92, in favour of RTP, is incompatible with the internal market.
