You are asking when all this will be put into practice. The FIFA world congress takes place in Buenos Aires at the beginning of July, and FIFA will then be aiming to incorporate into its rules all the broad principles that were collectively agreed. These broad principles must be put into practice when applying the new rules of world football.
To deal specifically with the question of transfer fees, I have already answered a question on this subject. We did not receive any complaints about the levels of transfer fees. I have my own view on this, and, no doubt, you do as well. The autonomy of federations should, however, enable this to be settled fairly easily, for example, by setting minimum and maximum levels. There could be rules, for example, to specify that only clubs that do not have a huge deficit would be allowed to make transfers against payment, but it is not up to the Commission to regulate everything, everywhere. There are very distinct responsibilities and national and European federations have a fair share of responsibilities to shoulder in the system.
Furthermore, I would like to reiterate that what we have just decided is not a substitute for national law. The rules in national law, and particularly the rules in employment law, could be changed in Member States to take account of the specific characteristics of sport. We noticed that some Heads of State and Governments were extremely committed to football! Therefore, if this commitment is put into practice on the ground, in the Member States, this will apply to football and to sport as a whole."@en1
