(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On the 23 December 2004, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration
pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 by which the Spanish undertaking Repsol
Butano, S.A., part of Repsol Group ((cid:1)Repsol(cid:2)), acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council

of shares.

2.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 19 January 2005

relating to a proceeding pursuant to Article 81 of the EC Treaty and Article 53(1) of the EEA
Agreement
(Case COMP/C.2/37.214 — Joint selling of the media rights to the German Bundesliga)

(notified under document number C(2005) 78)

(Only the German text is authentic)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2005/396/EC)

e.V.

The decision concerns the Liga-Fußballverbands
(League
Association) in Germany. The subject matter of the procedure
is the central marketing of the media exploitation rights in
respect of matches in the first and second national football
divisions for men (Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga). In a preliminary
assessment, the Commission noted that the exclusive selling of
the commercial broadcasting rights by the League Association
could restrict competition between the clubs and companies in
the first and second divisions within the meaning of Article 81
of the EC Treaty.

Without having conducted a full investigation of the case, it is
considered that the League Association’s commitments seem to
introduce competition in the marketing of Bundesliga and 2.
Bundesliga rights between the league and the clubs and allow
for new, in particular club branded products. The commitments
reduce the scope and duration of future marketing deals and

a

transparent

provide
and non-discriminatory marketing
procedure. They improve the accessibility of content for TV,
radio and new media operators, make sure that more rights
are being made available to the market and thereby contribute
to innovation and dampen the concentration tendencies in the
media markets.

in view of

The proposed decision now concludes that,
the
commitments given by the League Association following the
preliminary assessment and the observations
submitted by
interested third parties, there are no grounds for it to take
action within the meaning of Article 9(1) of Council Regulation
(EC) No 1/2003 (1). The commitments shall be binding on the
League Association until 30 June 2009.

The Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Dominant
Positions issued a favourable opinion on 6 December 2004.
