Germany’s soccer league (DFL) introduced a proposal on Wednesday to the nation’s impartial competitors authority that goals to tighten possession of golf equipment and rule out main traders taking on management of groups.
Current possession rule blocks main traders from controlling a majority of voting rights in Bundesliga golf equipment beneath its ‘50+1’ rule, aside from VfL Wolfsburg, Hoffenheim and Bayer Leverkusen.
But the proposal submitted to Germany’s impartial competitors authority foresees granting no different such particular exemptions and, in response to the DFL, goals to tighten the authorized certainty and compliance of their present possession framework.
It didn’t say when it anticipated a call on the matter.
“This proposal has now been submitted to the Bundeskartellamt,” the DFL stated in a press release. “Among other things there shall be no exemptions offered in the future from the 50+1 rule.”
According to present DFL guidelines golf equipment can’t compete within the Bundesliga if industrial traders have greater than a 49% stake. Clubs in Germany traditionally have been not-for-profit organisations run by member associations.
While golf equipment in different main leagues in Europe change arms and are taken over by different traders, in Germany this isn’t attainable because of the 50+1 rule.
The DFL stated these golf equipment at the moment with an exemption would proceed taking part in within the prime leagues however must meet some standards to retain their particular standing.
Hoffenheim’s main investor Dietmar Hopp stated on March 1 he can be giving again the exemption of his membership from the rule as he can be handing again nearly all of his voting rights to the membership with none compensation.
