53Leaving aside the fact that that article only indirectly reports the remarks made by the Commissioner and the fact that the formal letter of notice to which he refers can be construed only as being, in reality, the Commission decision adopted at the end of the procedure which it had initiated, the remarks in question cannot be regarded as attributable to the Commission and the ‘promise’ made to the Flemish Media Minister by the Commissioner could consequently be interpreted only as meaning that there was a possibility that a decision declaring certain provisions of the Flemish rules on radio and television broadcasting incompatible with Article 90(1), read in conjunction with Article 52, of the Treaty, would finally be adopted in May 1997.
