Paul MacInnes at The Guardian:
Uefa has been found to be “abusing a dominant position” in the way it applies its rules, leaving the potential for a revival of the European Super League project. In a long-awaited ruling by the European court of justice, Uefa and football’s international governing body, Fifa, were found to have rules relating to the establishment of new competitions that were not “transparent, objective, non-discriminatory and proportionate”. These rules have been declared “unlawful” by the court. The judgment also found, however, that its decision “does not mean that a competition such as the Super League project must necessarily be approved”. The ruling has been awaited by football’s stakeholders as potentially offering sign as to the future of the European game and whether a project such a Super League could happen again.
Bernd Reichart, the chief executive of A22, a consultancy hired by the Super League Company, said on X: “We have won the right to compete. The Uefa monopoly is over. Football is free. Clubs are now free from the threat of sanction and free to determine their own futures.” A22 swiftly revealed its plan for men’s and women’s Super Leagues, with 64 teams in the men’s competition, 32 in the women’s and promotion and relegation across the divisions in each. It said the initial selection of clubs would be based on merit, there would be no permanent members and clubs would continue to play in their domestic leagues, with Super League matches scheduled midweek. Ejection from either competition, however, would happen only for clubs that finish at the bottom of the last tier. Clubs would be placed in groups of eight, guaranteeing them 14 matches a season. Reichart said of the project’s plans, which would in effect replace Uefa’s Champions League. “For fans: We propose free viewing of all Super League matches. For clubs: Revenues and solidarity spending will be guaranteed.”
Javier Tebas, the president of La Liga and a staunch critic of the Super League, which continues to be backed by Real Madrid and Barcelona, accused Reichart of behaving as if he had been drinking “until 5 in the morning”. He said the ruling had not stated that Uefa and Fifa must admit the Super League. “On the contrary,” he said, “it points out that the criteria for admission to competitions must be transparent, objective and non-discriminatory. Principles precisely incompatible with the Super League.” Uefa said the ruling did not “signify an endorsement or validation of the so-called ‘super league’” but addressed a “pre-existing shortfall” in Uefa’s framework which it said it had subsequently corrected in June 2022. It outlined its continued opposition to the Super League project. “Uefa is confident in the robustness of its new rules, and specifically that they comply with all relevant European laws and regulations,” it said. “Uefa remains resolute in its commitment to uphold the European football pyramid … We trust that the solidarity-based European football pyramid that the fans and all stakeholders have declared as their irreplaceable model will be safeguarded against the threat of breakaways by European and national laws.”
In 2021, immediately after the announcement of the breakaway tournament, Uefa took disciplinary action against the 12 Super League clubs, with each sanctioned and banned from European qualification for joining a competition unauthorised by the governing body. The Super League company brought legal action in response, its arguments focusing on whether Uefa should have the power to decide what is authorised. Uefa’s disciplinary processes were suspended as part of these proceedings, with nine of the 12 clubs also walking away from the Super League. An opinion published last year by an advocate general at the ECJ found Uefa had not acted against European competition law by sanctioning its clubs. Real Madrid’s president, Florentino Pérez, said after the ruling: “Today will mark a before and after; it is a great day for the history of football and the history of sport.” Pérez said clubs could now be “the masters of their destiny” and the Super League would give football “the new impetus it so badly needs”.
The European Court of Justice rules that neither FIFA nor UEFA can legally block the formation of the Super League.

Amazon has to disclose info on ads: European Court of Justice
The European Court of Justice (CJEU), through its dismissal of Amazon’s application for an interim measure, has ruled that Amazon is a ‘Very Large Online Platform’ and as such will be required to display a repository of all its data on ads in the EU, as mandated by the Digital Services Act (DSA). “The interests defended by the EU legislature prevail, in the present case, over Amazon’s material…

Ireland sues UK in European Court over “Troubles” amnesty law
On 20 December, Ireland sued the UK at the European Court of Human Rights over a law granting immunity to combatants in the Northern Ireland conflict.
The UK Parliament passed a law in September that established the Truth and Recovery Commission, offering amnesty to British security and paramilitary personnel if they co-operate with its investigations.
All political parties in Northern Ireland and the Irish government in Dublin oppose the law, with the Council of Europe voicing “serious concerns.” Deputy Prime Minister Micheál Martin stated that the law was “not compatible” with the UK’s obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).

2023 / 46
Aperçu of the Week:
"How do you get revenge for killing a child? By killing other people's children? Certainly not."
(Palestinian Bassam Aramin and Israeli Rami Elhanan. Both have lost a daughter in the Middle East conflict. And still strive for reconciliation).
Bad News of the Week:
I won't be alive in the year 2100. Maybe my children will. If they have children, they certainly will. And they will look back on their grandparents' generation. And probably curse them. Because they will have us to thank for the world they (have to) live in. It will be in a miserable state. And that is our fault.
My grandparents and parents created the German "economic miracle". Primarily with sweat, coal and steel. An industrialized nation like all developed (if you can call it that way) western countries. The environment was a resource and not a living habitat worth protecting. But these generations didn't know any better. At least not in society as a whole. That no longer applies to people my age. We know better. So we have no excuse for doing nothing.
In 2100, it will be almost 3 degrees warmer than it is today. That is the result of the so-called Emissions Gap Report presented by the UN Environment Program (UNEP). The world will look fundamentally different. Apart from a remnant of continental ice in the Antarctic, there can no longer be any glaciers at these temperatures. Ocean currents will be completely different due to the warming of the upper water layers. Or won't be at all. But with significantly less oxygen, i.e. with fewer sea creatures. Which will then not only be missing from the species balance, but also from the food chain. Etcetera.
The current German government with green participation has suffered a severe setback in its already modest plan to convert the economy to sustainability. This is because the Federal Constitutional Court has ruled that 60 billion from the "Transformation Fund" may not be used for this purpose. Because it is a reallocated budget that was actually intended to deal with the effects of the pandemic. Let's not misunderstand each other: the money is there, not some nebulous air booking in the future. It just unfortunately has the wrong label.
This frustrates me in many ways. Not that I want to question our supreme jurisdiction. But I do want to question the standards by which it is measured. Just as electric cars are given preference over petrol cars when it comes to parking spaces in the city, priority should be given to ecological and sustainable measures in budget planning. Quite simply because it must undoubtedly be the top priority. It is bad enough that the urgently needed reorientation of our society is being held back by laziness, convenience and ignorance. Then please don't add bureaucracy to the mix.
Good News of the Week:
The EU is finally getting serious about prosecuting environmental offenders. In future, serious crimes against the environment will be punishable by heavy prison sentences and fines. Representatives of the governments of the member states and the European Parliament agreed in Brussels on new rules to improve the prosecution of environmental crimes.
This includes a wide range of offenses, from illegal timber trading to violations of chemicals regulations. Environmental crime is one of the world's most profitable organized crime activities and has a considerable impact on the environment and human health, the Council of Member States said in response to the planned new directive.
The proposed penalties are severe. Individuals face up to 10 years in prison, companies at least 5% of their global turnover. Equally worth mentioning: offenders will be obliged to restore the environment to its previous state or provide compensation. A clear victory for the environment. Which ultimately belongs to all of us. Or actually to no one, because it is a greater good.
Personal happy moment of the week:
My work-life balance is currently very uneven. Because I'm extremely busy at work: several problematic and time-consuming projects are stupidly overlapping at the same time. That's why I'm almost exclusively in the office at the moment and not with my family. They are kind enough to understand that daddy and hubby have very little time - and are in a bad mood. Thank you very much for your understanding and patience!
I couldn't care less...
...that Vladimir Putin wants to take part in a virtual G20 summit. Sure, he can't be arrested there either - the International Criminal Court had issued an arrest warrant for war crimes against Ukraine. The worst joke, however, is his topic. According to Moscow's announcement, he wants to present "his view of a deeply unstable world situation". Suggestion: resign. That would make the world much more stable in one fell swoop.
As I write this...
...I discover the work of Karl Jenkins. The Welsh composer is responsible for countless contemporary hits in classical music, such as Adiamus and Palladio. I know his music - from advertising and from movies and television. But I never knew that it was one and the same mastermind who created it.
Post Scriptum
Anarchy reigns in Argentina. At least Javier Milei, the winner of Sunday's presidential election, calls himself an "anarcho-capitalist". The people's longing for change was extremely strong. After all, the record of the center-left alliances that have been in power for decades is anything but brilliant: over a third of the population officially falls below the poverty line, inflation recently reached 147% and any innovation is suffocating in an over-regulating state.
Many of Milei's plans sound very radical - at least by European standards: the introduction of the US dollar as the official national currency, the closure of public institutions such as the national broadcaster or the privatization of state-owned companies. However, the political novice has neither a majority in parliament, nor a functioning party apparatus or a solid network in the regions of his country. What he can actually implement is therefore more than questionable. But he is challenging the status quo and at least bringing a breath of fresh air. And that has never done any harm.

MEPs call on EU to support South Africa’s ICJ case against Israel
At a plenary session of the European Parliament (EP), EP members called for the European Union’s support for South Africa’s lawsuit at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against Israel. They accused the country of committing “genocide” in the Gaza Strip.
Claire Daly, EP member for Ireland, said in her speech that Israel has lost the support of the international community because of its actions, including the killing of tens of thousands of civilians and the continued bombing of Gaza.
Daly criticised Israel for what she called “provocative” actions aimed at fuelling regional conflict. She also accused Israel of seeking help from the US in an attempt to evade responsibility.
In her remarks, Daly also lashed out at European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and the US, drawing parallels with the situation in Yemen. She said:
As we saw in Yemen, butcher Biden is preparing for office with Madame Genocide (von der Leyen) by his side. They are the ones who ensure the continuation of Israeli terrorism. If it weren’t for them, it would have ended long ago.

Disregard of Wolf Deterrence: Reckless Wolf Hunting Endangers Young Animals
In a series of regrettable incidents, seven wolves were shot in Burgdorf. However, these hasty shootings have revealed an alarming issue: hunters are displaying their incompetence and are unable to identify the correct wolf. The victims were innocent young animals, although their parents should have been the primary focus. The core problem, however, lies in the fact that 90 percent of livestock were inadequately protected against wolves, often lacking even the minimum protection. This concerning situation in Burgdorf, with seven attacks in 2023, six of them without any protection, urgently needs to be addressed.
Lack of Wolf-Resistant Fencing: Of particular concern is the fact that 90 percent of livestock in Burgdorf were not fenced with wolf-resistant measures, not even with the minimum protection. The minimum protection stands at 90 cm, while the basic protection should be 120 cm, and wolf-resistant protection should be 140/150 cm. Additionally, adequate electrification with high shock power and proper grounding is of great importance. According to the Federal Office for Nature Conservation, the fence should be at least 120 cm high, or ideally even higher.
Legal Framework and Responsibility: On the European level, the legal framework was clearly established by the European Court of Justice in three wolf-related judgments. On 10th October 2019, it was decided that livestock owners must fence their livestock according to the best scientific and technical knowledge. Failing to protect one's livestock appropriately constitutes an administrative offense. Despite the knowledge of these regulations, the Hannover region, represented by the Lower Nature Conservation Authority/Nature Conservation Team, continues to permit wolf hunting in the Burgdorf area. This approach is unlawful and contradicts Article 16 of the Habitats Directive, which permits the killing of only the "problem wolf" in cases of damage.
Lack of Reporting and Illegal Killing: What's particularly alarming is that the main edition of the HAZ conceals the fact that on February 6, 2023, a child was illegally killed by two wolves in the Burgdorf forest. It is now time to file criminal charges against the hunter, the regional president Steffen Krach (SPD), and the official in the Hannover region. Krach, who is considered the new responsible politician for wolf killings in Lower Saxony, fails to understand that in the entire Hannover region, there are only two adult wolves in Burgdorf and two in Wedemark, spanning an area of over 2,000 square kilometers.
Conclusion: Wolves have been present in the Burgdorf area for over seven years, with four documented instances of offspring. In Wedemark, there were even three instances of offspring. Nevertheless, a significant number of livestock owners have still not implemented the legally mandated protection measures (Paragraph 3, Section 2, No. 3 of the Animal Welfare Livestock Husbandry Ordinance). It is imperative to take action in this regard. Those who fail to provide wolf-resistant protection of at least 120 cm should be fined, and in case of further violations, may even face a ban on livestock keeping. It is also crucial to emphasize that THE GREENS, in their 2022 election program, called for comprehensive herd protection in Lower Saxony. Currently, there are only 35 wolf populations with offspring, approximately totaling 280 wolves, and not 500, as often claimed, considering a total of two million wild animals.
