ECJ RULING REGARDING THE USE OF FOREIGN DECODERS

The European Court of Justice has recently passed an important ruling, stating that it is possible the utilization of foreign decoders to watch football matches. The preliminary ruling has its origin in the fines imposed to several British pubs due to the contracting of decoders with a Greek TV broadcaster. The Court considers that those measures are not in agreement with EU law because they are a non justified restriction of the competence freedom and adding that cannot be alleged any reasons based on intellectual property.
