lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to draw attention to the fact that the Commission already has competence in the area of sport, especially regarding the implementation of legislation on competitions. However, the Commission has been grossly ineffective in this matter. F1 events and, in particular, Mr Ecclestone’s work to preserve the monopoly in the field, have been looked into for years now, but no results have been forthcoming. This is a matter of the most obvious monopoly, that of television rights, which a certain contract has ensured will continue for a hundred years. Instead of the Commission adopting a position on this, many Commission members are mannequins for Mr Ecclestone and the motor race teams and thus contribute to establishing and upholding this monopoly. I wish, before the Commission is granted new powers in this area, it would use those it already has."@en1
