Abstract
In the Simba/CLT-UFA case the Luxembourg Competition Authority (LCA) dealt with the question whether a dominant TV operator that by a joint sale agreement purchased TV rights to sporting events on an exclusive basis abused its dominant position. The LCA seems to believe that the entering of a dominant buyer into an agreement conferring on it wide exclusive TV rights amounts to an abusive conduct as it might foreclose competitors. That said, the evidence collected by the LCA indicated two cases in which competitors of the dominant undertaking were denied access to media rights to sporting events due to the pressure exerted on the organizers of such events by the dominant TV operator.
