As the Chain Ser has published, the Basque Executive had two legal reports mentioning non-compliance with what was agreed with the Euroleague and a third document supplementing the two previous ones.

The most controversial point of the agreement signed between the Basque Government, the Alavesa Council and the City Council of Vitoria-Gasteiz with the Euroleague is related to the legal framework, which sets as a reference the Swiss rather than the state. And that, according to the technicians of the Basque Government, is contrary to the law.

This directly affects the situation that would arise if there were a conflict between the signatories to the convention: the Basque institutions should go to an international tribunal in Lugano.

According to the radio station of the Haste group, the lawyers of the Basque Government have found problems similar to those contained in the legal report of the City of Vitoria-Gasteiz.

The legal framework is not the only infringement that appears in the reports of the Basque Government. The agreement provides for an expenditure of EUR 4 million by the public administrations for the organization of the final, but the total budget of the event is not fixed, even if the law requires it.

Furthermore, the consequences that would arise if the Euroleague and the institutions did not comply with what was agreed are not clear: the responsibility shares of each party are not specified nor the surcharges that would apply in the event of delays in payments – the Euroleague would charge 3% more in the event of institutional delay.

Other shortcomings identified are the lack of foresight of a monitoring commission to monitor compliance with the convention or the lack of a clear definition of who is responsible for the safety of the event.
