Subject of the Decision On 28 November 1989, the Commission received a complaint from the travel agency Pauwels Travel BVBA (‘Pauwels Travel’) against: — FIFA Local Organizing Committee Italia '90, — 90 Tour Italia SpA, — NV CIT Belgique. The complaint, based on the provisions of Article 3 of Regulation No 17, related to the ticket distribu- tion system applied during the FIFA World Cup held in Italy in 1990. Pauwels Travel wanted to put together and sell in Belgium World Cup package tours comprising transport, accommodation and entrance tickets to the stadia in which the various matches were to be played. However, it found that the ticket distribu- tion system that had been decided on did not allow travel agencies to acquire stadium entrance tickets for the purpose of putting together package tours.
