Football World Cup 2010: No higher charges for restaurateurs than for Euro 08
Restaurant and bar owners who set up televisions for their guests in their establishments during the 2010 World Cup do not have to pay Suisa any more fees than they did during Euro 2008.
According to Gastro Suisse, this was decided by the Federal Arbitration Commission. The Arbitration Commission has extended the current tariff of the copyright company Suisa until the end of 2013, Gastro Suisse wrote in a statement on Friday evening, according to SDA. According to the industry association, it was defending itself against the massive increases demanded by the collecting societies.
The screens in the restaurants may not be larger than three meters diagonally. According to Gastro Suisse, the arbitration committee's decision was only available in verbal form on Friday. The 2010 FIFA World Cup will take place in South Africa from June 11 to July 11.
