CONTACT YOUR MP AND MEPs NOW!!! The British government (along with all
other member governments of the European Union) is currently
considering the recommendations of a Review of European law as it
effects football. The review was commissioned by the European
Council of Minsters under the last British presidency led by UK sports
minister Richard Caborn MP. It has been undertaken by a panel
of experts led by former Portuguese sports minister Jose Luis Arnaut.

The Review concentrates on the impact of EU competition and employment
law on the game. The collective sale of broadcasting rights
and rules governing the number of foreign players are heavily affected
by European law.

The recommendations of the Review would recognise the right of
football to govern itself and the vital role of redistribution of
income in strengthening the game at all levels.

The FSF welcomes the findings of the Review. Whilst we believe the
Review could have gone further in certain areas, it forms the
basis for action by EU governments to strengthen the game and is
hostile to the big club money and power grab.

Money talks. The big clubs aren't happy about the Review. They'll do
what they can to stop it being implemented. It's time for fans
to speak up.

Write, email or phone your Member of Parliament and Members of the
European Parliament NOW. Tell them you support the Review and
want it implemented.
