Hold the cheque book!

"On Wednesday, Le Figaro claimed that the Competition Authority has decided to suspend the agreement between the National Rugby League and Canal + with regard to the allocation of television rights in the Top 14 for the coming five seasons. This decision follows a referral by BeIn Sports in March to challenge the conditions under which these rights were allocated.

A new procedure for the competition on the allocation of rights for the following seasons will be held no later than January 31, 2015"

"Ce mercredi, Le Figaro nous apprend que l'Autorité de la concurrence a décidé de suspendre l'accord conclu entre la Ligue nationale de rugby et Canal + en ce qui concerne l'attribution des droits télé du Top 14 pour les cinq saisons à venir. Une décision qui fait suite à sa saisine par BeIn Sports en mars dernier pour contester les conditions dans lesquelles avaient été attribués ces droits.

Une nouvelle procédure de mise en concurrence portant sur l'attribution des droits des saisons suivantes devra être organisée au plus tard le 31 janvier 2015."

What happens for the coming season? Does the Canal+ deal stand for one year?
