2.

The compensation may not exceed an amount corresponding to the net financial effect equivalent to the total of the effects, positive or negative, of compliance with the public service obligation on the costs and revenue of the public service operator. The effects shall be assessed by comparing the situation where the public service obligation is met with the situation which would have existed if the obligation had not been met. In order to calculate the net financial effect, the competent authority shall be guided by the following scheme: costs incurred in relation to a public service obligation or a bundle of public service obligations imposed by the competent authority/authorities, contained in a public service contract and/or in a general rule, minus any positive financial effects generated within the network operated under the public service obligation(s) in question, minus receipts from tariff or any other revenue generated while fulfilling the public service obligation(s) in question, plus a reasonable profit, equals net financial effect.
