VIDEO: The Super League predicts another failure of UEFA in justice and already sees “the goal of a free market”

The Super League assured that it sees that the project “is reaching the goal of a free market” far from the monopoly position of UEFA, for which it predicts another failure in justice as already evidenced by the Court’s ruling last December. of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). This was expressed by the lawyer of ‘A22’, the company that manages the project, during the hearing of the ordinary procedure, in matters of defense of competition, known as the ‘Superliga case’, which is being handled by the Commercial Court number 8 of Madrid , which must rule whether UEFA and FIFA abuse their dominant position. For the company, this Thursday was “a day of celebration despite all the impediments, especially from UEFA, with the intense collaboration of LaLiga” because they are “reaching the goal.” “The CJEU has marked the way to reach that goal, which is a free market, free from collusive practices and without monopolies that abuse their dominant position,” he indicated. ‘A22’ highlighted its “indisputable interest” in being part of this procedure and also its “enormous economic interest” because it has been “prevented from being able to carry out its economic activity in the last 3 years” and has seen “the entrance to a market closed.” , victim of anti-competitive conduct”. “The damages and losses are unquantifiable,” said his lawyer. He recalled that UEFA has been “trying to ‘kill’ the Super League and this procedure”, but that “it has already failed in the CJEU and everything indicates that in this ruling.” In addition, he criticized his “media campaign of harassment and demolition” against anyone who supported the Super League and “creating an unbreathable atmosphere for anyone who had the audacity to talk to ‘A22′”, while he showed his surprise at “the obsession” of the EU Member States in this conflict when it believes that there are others of greater European interest. ‘A22’ considers that UEFA was “dreadful of what the CJEU would say” and that is why it put pressure on the clubs promoting the project, accusing the body of “inducing contractual infringement” when it announced that it was reinstating nine of them after their resigns from the Super League. “And that is an offense of unfair competition,” warned the lawyer, who also referred to “the threat of expulsion from the Champions League” against Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Juventus if they continued to lead and that it was “stopped by the measures precautionary measures of this court”. “UEFA and its president do not like competition at all,” he continued, emphasizing that this procedure “is not about the Super League” but rather about determining “if UEFA and FIFA are preventing the entry of ‘A22’ into the market” and defending that it is “unacceptable” to doubt the “active legitimacy” of the company as can be demonstrated with the new format proposal after the CJEU ruling. The ‘A22’ lawyer pointed out that this ruling is “clearly clear” and that “with its reading the path to the goal is clear.” “You will never be able to read in the CJEU ruling that the pyramid of football, the sacrosanct pyramid of football, is a value worthy of protection for the purposes of sport,” he ruled, also describing the 2022 UEFA regulations as “more anti-competitive.” JUVENTUS HAS NOT ABANDONED THE PROJECT For its part, ESL Company, the company that manages the Super League and also a party in this procedure, indicated that the plaintiffs have tried without success to have the sport recognized as being “outside the competition law” of the Treaty of the EU, but that they have come to “proclaim themselves exempt from complying with these rules and being the only ones competent to see who can enter the market.” His lawyer pointed out that UEFA proclaims its model “as the only possible one,” but that “they change it often,” and insisted that they have not asked this court for “authorization” for the Super League to go ahead, whose model is not “closed”. In this sense, he described it as “audacious” to think that Real Madrid and FC Barcelona would stop competing in the League due to their participation. Regarding the lack of active legitimation of the Super League, he explained that it did not exist due to “the own acts” of UEFA and made it clear that Juventus has not abandoned the project but rather that “the only thing it has done is inform the Stock Market authority “Italians who are in dialogue with their shareholders about an eventual exit.” “A letter was sent to UEFA and FIFA to establish a friendly dialogue, but a serious entity does not respond by threatening,” he said. The lawyer emphasized that “the European model of sport does not appear in the EU Treaty but rather the European dimension of sport appears.” “They have invented the European model of football, if they change it there are other options,” he warned. Furthermore, he stressed that “it is not gratuitous” that the CJEU has not told UEFA or FIFA “not once that they are responsible organizations but responsible football associations.” For ESL, UEFA has not denied its “dominant, almost monopolistic position” and that both it and FIFA “exercise total control of the offer and set abusive prices”, and that it does not see the change of 2022 regulations of the governing body of European football. Still, he called for “civilized solutions between healthy competitors in a healthy market” and for defendants to have “a reasonable position.” IMAGES AVAILABLE IN EUROPA PRESS TELEVISION DOWNLOAD URL: https://www.europapress.tv/deportes/852687/1/superliga-augura-otro-fracaso-uefa-justicia-ve-ya-meta-mercado-libre CONTACT PHONE 91 345 44 06
