EU: ACT Rejects EC Proposal On Pay-TV

EU: ACT Rejects EC Proposal On Pay-TV

The Association of Commercial Television in Europe (ACT) has said that it firmly opposes the notion of establishing lists of major sporting events in order to prevent pay-TV from exerting exclusive rights over broadcasting such events. This comes in the context of the Commission’s new proposals (the “Oreja Plan”) on sports rights (see AIG-Notices 8).

ACT argues that such a move could severely damage the revenue obtained by sports organisations from the granting of broadcasting rights.
