<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"The Spanish television channel that has won the rights to broadcast the matches played at the World Cup in Germany has admitted that it is unable to broadcast in analogue and free-to-air right across Spain, as is required by law under the ‘Television without Frontiers’ Directive.   Since there are series of matches — the opening match, the final and the games involving the Spanish national team — which, in accordance with the Spanish law on sports broadcasts deriving from that directive, must be broadcast in analogue and free-to-air to all members of the public, that television channel sold the rights to these to another television station which is able to cover the whole of Spain.  By coincidence, the television channel in question belongs to the same company that has the digital pay-TV broadcasting rights for Spain, and the agreement between the two was reached without the sale by public auction stipulated in Article4 of the abovementioned law.   Does the European Commission consider that this procedure conformed to the rules on freedom of competition and the Spanish law deriving from the obligations under the ‘Television without Frontiers’ Directive?  Will it consider taking action on this matter if it is found that the applicable rules and freedom of competition have indeed been infringed?"
