The statement of objections also makes clear that under EU law the FIA and FOA can be required not only to terminate their restrictive agreements or their abusive conduct, but also the lasting effects on competition of their infringements. The Commission takes the view that as the FIA abusively acquired the broadcasting rights to international motor sports events it could not validly assign these rights to FOA and ISC.
Au cours de son enquête, la Commission a réuni des preuves indiquant que la FOA, l'ISC et la FIA pourraient avoir enfreint les règles de concurrence de l'UE de plusieurs autres manières. Toutefois, la Commission a décidé de ne pas poursuivre pour l'instant ces infractions éventuelles afin de concentrer toute son attention sur les questions essentielles.
