But in the end, it looks more to the point of step to a final arbitration. After three years of instruction, the elders of the scale Street gave no sanction against the audio-visual subsidiary of Vivendi. EC which Canal "took note with satisfaction". "This is a great victory because the decision closing a series of procedures whose purpose was to show abuse of dominant position of Canal Plus that the authority was not recognized," says Mr. Pascal Wilhelm, counsel for the group. Authority nevertheless chose to continue processing the folder holding that they lacked the necessary elements, including channel practices on the market of optical fiber and catch-up TV. "It is a decision more substantive method, she explains." First, the objective was to clarify the scope of the statement. Where it would urge remedies to correct potential competition problems, a discussion could be organized with all the actors of the market to ensure the relevance. 
Early 2008, taking advantage of a complaint filed by Group AB, Constable of competition it was auto-saisi, including on contracts concluded by Canal with TF1, M6 and Lagardère - or the four shareholders affected by the merger of CanalSat and GST - for the exclusive distribution of their chains. A few months later, France Telecom was attached to this auto-saisine.
In its decision, the Authority finally felt that she could not return to the exclusivity and non-competition clauses validated by Bercy at the reconciliation of CanalSat and GST, on the marketing of TF1 (e.g. LCI, Eurosport), M6 and Lagardère channels on cable, satellite and ADSL. She also dismissed the complaint of AB on the business practices of Canal and removed some of the complaints filed by the telecom operator. The latter alleged that potential pay-TV group practices of disparagement and practices of coupling between Canal and CanalSat. The two arguments have been excluded.
"Foreclosure"
On the other hand, the wise men of the street of the scale were planned to concentrate, in their supplementary training, other practices of Canal exclusives that did not fall within the scope of this authorization. The objective is clear: it is to check if, ultimately, the addition of these exclusive does not result in a "foreclosure" by Canal . Thus with Constable, M6 and "for esteem right distribution" to consider the extension of contracts TF1 M6 TF1 M6 competition "feels entitled" of fiber-optic and catch-up television. It will also consider marketing exclusivities enjoyed by the Vivendi subsidiary on the channels it publishes itself (planet, GST Star etc.) or those deployed by independent publishers (TCM, Disney Channel, Fox Kids, MTV, etc.).
In France Telecom, it considers that the decision of the authority could Herald "an opening of alternative distributors pay television market" that the operator calls its wishes.
The continuance of the trial should last for months. In the meantime, the Constable of the competition should make another highly anticipated decision on the approximation of CanalSat and GST. In the first half, he said that if Vivendi subsidiary well respected fifty commitments made at the time of the merger of the two bouquets for the green light from Bercy.
