Voorbeeldzinnen

1. The final of the Football Champions League;
2. The final of any European football club competition (Champions League, UEFA Cup) involving a German club.
3. The other listed football events, including the official matches of the French national football team in the FIFA calendar, the final of the UEFA Cup, where a French club involved in one of the French championships is playing, the French football Cup final and the final of the football Champions’ League, have a special general resonance in France, as football is the most popular sport in that country.
4. During the period under investigation the NOS RTV obtained broadcasting rights for several important football events. The commercial broadcaster Canal+ (pay-TV) obtained the rights for the live matches of the Dutch premier league.
5. For example, in the UK, in the investigation into BskyB quoted above, the Office of Fair Trading came to the conclusion that live Football Association Premier League games were a single relevant market across television platforms.
6. The rights for the Champions League were also partly sublicensed to Canal+ by the NOS RTV. The commercial broadcaster SBS obtained the broadcasting rights of two national football cups.
7. The particular attention given, even in the non-specialised press, to the remaining events listed, including the semi-finals and final of the German FA Cup, the German national football team’s home and away matches, and the final of any European football club competition (Champions League, UEFA Cup) involving a German club, testifies to their special general resonance in Germany.
8. CLT-UFA submitted calculation models to show how they calculate the prices for football rights and concluded on this basis that the bid made by the NOS RTV for the rights for the Champions League matches of 2002 was significantly higher than that made by CLT-UFA.
9. The finals and semi-finals of the Champions League and the UEFA Cup have a special general resonance in Belgium given the popularity of football in Belgium and the prestige of those matches, which are followed by the general public, and not only by those who usually follow sport events.
10. This is confirmed by developments in other Member States. For example, in the UK, in the investigation into BskyB quoted above, the Office of Fair Trading came to the conclusion that live Football Association Premier League games were a single relevant market across television platforms.
11. CLT-UFA submitted calculation models to show how they calculate the prices for football rights and concluded on this basis that the bid made by the NOS RTV for the rights for the Champions League matches of 2002 was significantly higher than that made by CLT-UFA. ACT and CLT-UFA considered, moreover, that the Commission should not reach the conclusion that there is insufficient evidence of overpayment of football rights on the basis of one example where a commercial operator may have overbid.
