Italy’s radio broadcasters’ association Aeranti-Corallo reports that a new parliamentary question has been submitted to the government concerning an ongoing European Commission infringement procedure related to alleged FM interference affecting neighboring countries.
According to Aeranti-Corallo’s TeleRadioFax bulletin, Andrea Casu, vice president of the Transport, Post and Telecommunications Commission in the Italian Chamber of Deputies, submitted a written parliamentary question on Friday, Feb. 27, 2026, to Adolfo Urso, Italy’s Minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy. The request concerns the EU infringement procedure INFR (2025) 2153, which concerns claims that Italy has not taken sufficient administrative measures to address harmful cross-border interference from Italian FM broadcasters operating in the 87.5–108 MHz band.
Aeranti-Corallo says the parliamentary text asks the minister to clarify which Italian FM transmission sites are allegedly involved, where the interference has been reported and what technical and legal assessments the ministry has carried out in response to complaints raised by neighboring EU member states.
The question also asks what steps the government intends to take both to protect Italy’s radio broadcasting sector — which operates under government-issued licenses — and to address the infringement procedure. According to Aeranti-Corallo, Casu asked whether the government plans to identify a structural solution that resolves the interference concerns without penalizing the national radio industry.
Aeranti-Corallo notes that the new parliamentary question follows similar inquiries submitted in recent weeks by Senator Dafne Musolino of Italia Viva, Senator Pietro Patton of the Autonomies group and Democratic Party deputies Stefano Vaccari, Virginio Merola, Andrea De Maria, Ilenia Malavasi and Andrea Rossi, all addressing the same issue.
