Traduction de «Racecourse » (Anglais → Français) :

Whereas, given the existence of equivalent health situations at racecourses and on premises where competitions or cultural events are held, and given the isolation from equidae of lower health status, it seems advisable to establish a single health certificate for re-entry of registered horses for racing, competition and cultural events after temporary export to third countries;

In 1990, Tiercé Ladbroke, the Belgian subsidiary of Ladbroke Group, the largest bookmaker in the United Kingdom, lodged a complaint with the Commission alleging that Articles 85 and 86 of the EEC Treaty had been infringed by: (a) GIE Pari Mutuel Urbain ("PMU"), a body running a totalizator betting system which was set up under French law by the ten racecourse organizers in France, the sociétés de courses; (b) the ten société de courses themselves; (c) Pari Mutuel International SA (PMI), a subsidiary of PMU set up to manage its rights abroad; (d) Deutscher Sportverlag Kurt Stoof GmbH Co ("DSV"), Cologne, which is PMU's sublicensee in G ...[+++]ermany. 1. The ten sociétés de courses hold the intellectual property rights to the races they organize; Ladbroke claimed that they had infringed Article 86 of the EEC Treaty by refusing to supply Tiercé Ladbroke in Belgium with television coverage of French races comprising sound, pictures and commentary.

A decree of 13 September 1985 stipulated that a société de courses could take off-course bets on races run in France only at its own racecourse or through the PMU.

A law of 16 April 1930, and the implementing decree of 11 July 1930, authorized five Paris sociétés de courses and five provincial ones jointly to take bets away from their own racecourses.
