The Consejo para las Emisiones y Retransmisiones Deportivas (Plenary Meeting of the Committee for the Broadcasting of Sport Events) has published the Code of Listed Sports Events for the season 1999/2000. The sports affected are football, cycling, basketball, handball, motorcycle racing and tennis. The Code indicates which events in each of these sports must be broadcast on free-to-air TV (provided a free-to-air broadcaster is interested in doing so). In addition, it ought to be noted that art. 5 of the Law 21/1997 states that one match from every league or cup competition game day, for those sports in which such competition systems apply, must be broadcast live, free and throughout the entire national territory.
