". The Commission is not aware of the United Kingdom press reports to which the honourable Member refers. As far as any enforced limit on the number of foreign players is concerned, I should like to recall the following. The application of the Community rules on the free movement of workers in sport was decided by the European Court of Justice in the 1974 Walrave case, in which the Court held that sport was subject to Community law when it constitutes an economic activity, whether by professional or amateur athletes. This was confirmed by the Court in its now famous 1995 judgment in the Bosman case. In this case-law the Court also held that nationality clauses could only be justified in relation to specific official matches between teams representing countries - such as the Olympic Games - or certain world or European championships."@en1
