Toutefois, les contrats de licences ne doivent pas interdire aux radiodiffuseurs toute prestation transfrontalière de services relative aux rencontres sportives concernées, parce qu’un tel contrat permettrait d’accorder à chaque radiodiffuseur une exclusivité territoriale absolue dans la zone couverte par sa licence, éliminerait ainsi toute concurrence entre différents radiodiffuseurs dans le domaine desdits services et cloisonnerait ainsi les marchés nationaux selon les frontières nationales.
However, the licence agreements must not prohibit the broadcasters from effecting any cross-border provision of services that relates to the sporting events concerned, because such an agreement would enable each broadcaster to be granted absolute territorial exclusivity in the area covered by its licence, would therefore eliminate all competition between broadcasters in the field of those services and would thus partition the national markets in accordance with national borders.
