I svar af 23.3.2003 henviste Tyskland til, at § 28 i Nordrhein-Westfalens medielov giver mulighed for, at mediemyndighedens mediekommission kan tildele radio- og tv-udbyderne RTL Group og ProSiebenSat.1 et helt Multiplex. I ovennævnte § hedder det, at radio- og tv-selskaber, der udsender programmer analogt, skal have fortrinsstilling.
In their reply of 23 March 2003, the German authorities indicated that the possibility for the Media Commission of LfM to allocate entire multiplexes to the broadcasters RTL Group and ProSiebenSat.1 is based on Section 28 of the Media Law of North Rhine-Westphalia which gives priority to those programme channels already broadcast in analogue.
