WRITTEN QUESTION P-0071/01

by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission

(18 January 2001)

Subject: TV rights relating to football

With regard to the sale of TV rights, relating to football, can the Commission confirm that it intends to commence an investigation into the lawfulness, under competition law, of the block sale of TV rights by UEFA and other football authorities?

Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission

(15 February 2001)

The Commission can confirm that it has a number of open cases which concern the joint selling of television rights to football matches. The Commission has not yet reached any firm conclusions as to the likely outcome of these cases but it will be guided, inter alia, by the practices of the Member States in this regard and by the specific characteristics of sport.
