1) May the requirement in Article 7(1) of the directive (1) for
a link between the investment and the making of the
database be interpreted in the sense that the ‘obtaining’
referred to in Article 7(1) and the investment directed at
it refers,
in the present case, to investment which is
directed at the determination of the dates of the matches
and the match pairings themselves and, when the criteria
for granting protection are appraised, does the drawing
up of the fixture list include investment which is not
relevant?
