First sentence: In all cases relating to sports matters, which have been brought before it up until today, the Court of Justice has conspicuously ruled that having regard to the objectives of the Community, sport falls within the ambit of Community law insofar as it constitutes an economic activity within the meaning of Article 2 EC.
Description: "This important book presents an in-depth analysis of the viability under Community law of traditional sports regulations such as transfer rules and nationality, clauses - both sets of rules seriously compromised by the Bosman case of 1995. The author asks in particular whether certain rules elaborated by sporting associations can withstand the test of compatibility with the free movement provisions of the EC Treaty."--Jacket.
