44If the national regulatory authority finds that one or more undertakings designated as providers of universal service are subject to an unfair burden or if one or more of them requests compensation, it then falls to the Member State to establish the necessary mechanisms to that end, in accordance with Article 13(1)(a) of Directive 2002/22, from which it is also clear that that compensation must coincide with the net costs, as calculated under Article 12 of the directive.
