UEFA warning ahead of financial fair play rules

[dom9]

How does the Belgian legal system have jurisdiction across the EU? Unless the interim order only applies within Belgium?

[Buzzo]

Perhaps as the rules set by UEFA affect the Belgian FA then any block by any member country within the EU would hold up. It's an interim order so I'd imagine there is a bigger case to come on the back of it?

Piss off Belgium.

UEFA can surely impose whatever entry requirements it wants to enter its sanctioned competitions?

If they want to breach FFP in their domestic division that is fine but EUFA does not have to allow them entry to UCL / EUROPA

You would of assumed so.

[baitman]

so a club could just ignore ffp and smash their domestic league but would just be blocked from europe.

[ChesterDave]

If UEFA really want to impose FFP then it would be the logical step. They probably can not by law interfere with what are essentially companies registered in whatever jurisdiction but they can set the entry criteria to the UEFA Champions League!

Of course if clubs want to they could then threaten to pull away from domestic competition altogether and it would be a who blinks first battle then!

Isn't Brussels the de facto capital of the European Union?

Yes, it is indeed...hence any cases with regards to European issue of any nature will be referred to Brussels.

[Kenneth]

That's an entirely different court system and jurisdiction.

Yep.

The European Parliament may be situated in Brussels but it is not the capital of Europe, which does not have a capital.

[BillobShaisley]

The Capital of Europe is ....."E"

I've only really just even vaguely read into this specific judgement after debating it with a mate via Twitter

It seems that this ruling has only been made to prevent implementation of lower amounts being permissible losses while there is an ongoing challenge to the existing framework.

So its not really ruling on FFP itself but sounds more of a procedural thing.
