Billag: No squandering of taxpayers' money
Billag is defending itself against accusations that it is squandering taxpayer money. The company says it won its contract through competitive bidding, in which cost-effectiveness and quality were key criteria.
Billag is defending itself against accusations of squandering taxpayers' money. The company won its mandate twice in a competitive procedure in 1999 and 2006, Billag spokesperson Jonny Kopp told SDA. Cost-effectiveness and quality were the two key criteria.
It is up to politicians and legislators to determine the type of fee collection. The accusation that Billag spends expensive money on the placement of TV spots Kopp does not accept this. Billag is contractually obliged to provide regular information about the legal obligation to register and pay fees. In addition, the SRG makes its own channels available for broadcasting.
