Sport is recreational, social, educational, healthful, and
cultural. It has always been all of these things. Perhaps also it
has always been political. In recent years, however, it has become
something else besides: economic. Nowadays a lot of money is
invested in sport, and sporting competitions often generate
enormous amounts of revenue. This has entailed serious
repercussions, especially for the relations between individual
sportsmen/sportswomen and the sporting clubs and federations that
act as brokers for their careers. Into this protected area-for
decades a closed shop-now come the European institutions,
especially the European Court of Justice and the European
Commission, with the declared intention of ensuring respect for the
exigencies of Community law while at the same time protecting the
specificity and the integrity of sport. 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.
In the light of Bosman, he also rigorously investigates: whether
valuable arguments exist for keeping certain sporting rules and
practices entirely outside the scope of the EC Treaty; and, whether
the private nature of sporting clubs constitutes a stumbling block
for the application of the relevant free movement rules. Practical
Regulation of the Mobility of Sportsmen in the EU Post Bosman comes
at a moment when clarification of where this complex and
contentious matter currently lies is essential if we are to gauge
where it is going. The topic is of special and increasing interest,
as official declarations on sport were attached to the Treaties of
both Amsterdam and Nice. And, if the draft Constitution for Europe
actually enters into force, sport will even become an official area
of Union policy. This trend confirms the value and significance of
this ground-breaking book for practitioners, policymakers, and
regulators in the burgeoning field of sports law.
