Dokument tudi dodaja, enako kot protokol o sistemu javne radiodifuzije v državah članicah (protokol, dodan amsterdamski pogodbi o Evropski uniji, leta 1997 - Protocol on the System of Public Broadcasting in the Member States, 1997, in dokument ebu o javni radiodifuziji - The Public Service Broadcasting Remit: Today and Tomorrow, 1998), da vsaka država članica sama določi način delovanja (organizacijsko strukturo in sistem Financiranja) javnega servisa in njegove dejavnosti, to pomeni, da se bodo javni sistemi v evropskih državah še naprej precej razlikovali, države pa bodo imele pri njihovem oblikovanju dokaj proste roke.
Obviously, the ebu document, just like the Protocol on the System of Public Broadcasting in the Member States, annexed to the Amsterdam Treaty, leaves the decision on the organizational structure and funding regime to individual member states, meaning that pbs systems across the eu will remain different, with legislators in these countries having rather broad authorities to shape them.
