The transfer of the right to exploit a sporting event or competition to an electronic public communication service does not prevent the partial or full broadcast of this event or competition by another electronic public communication service when the service transferring the right to exploit does not broadcast live significant extracts of the sporting event or competition.
A decree in the Conseil d’Etat, issued after consultation with the Autorité de Régulation de la Communication Audiovisuelle et Numérique (Audiovisual and Digital Communications Regulatory Authority), lays down, where necessary, the conditions for application of this article, taking particular account of the nature and duration of the event or competition. This decree also specifies the conditions under which a broadcast postponed to prime time or delayed for serious reasons is treated as a live broadcast.
