"Thank you very much for your answer, Commissioner. I would be grateful to learn exactly what action you plan to take and how quickly, because clearly time is not on our side. You may recall that we had similar problems with the sales of tickets by the French football authorities during the World Cup held in France. A number of MEP colleagues, including me, took them to the European Court of Justice; the eventual result of which was that the Commission intervened and they were fined EUR 500 on the basis that they had contravened European Union regulations. I wonder if you can assure us that, allowing for the fact that the German football authorities were aware of what had happened to their French counterparts, any fine in this case will be several orders of magnitude higher? You may even reach the stage of asking them to redo the whole thing. It is plainly ludicrous for one organisation to be able to pre-empt who can buy tickets and at what price."@en1
