25Furthermore, it is apparent from Paragraphs 1(1) and 2(1) of the StDrG that the ÖS was established for the specific purpose of meeting those needs in the general interest. In that respect, it is immaterial that such an entity is free to carry out other activities in addition to that task, such as the production of other printed matter and the publication and distribution of books. The fact, raised by the Austrian Government in its written observations, that meeting needs in the general interest constitutes only a relatively small proportion of the activities actually pursued by the ÖS is also irrelevant, provided that it continues to attend to the needs which it is specifically required to meet.
