Dublin, 23/01/2004 (Agence Europe) - "No sector of activity, including sport, is exempt from extradition rules", said Antonio Vitorino on the sidelines of the informal Council in Dublin? He was reacting to the debate opened by the Fédération Internationale Automobile on the European arrest warrant. FIA President Max Mosley had declared that he feared racing stable directors can be "arrested as soon as proceedings are initiated and imprisoned until the trial". On the BBC, he had told countries applying the mandate that the FIA would boycott the European Grand Prix Formula 1 and announced that a member State had already undertaken not to implement the mandate in the sport sector. "I am not aware of any country that excludes sport from the arrest warrant. It is a shame that this gentleman had not been kind enough to let me have the name of the country. I shall have more work (…) but we are seeking the lost country", Mr Vitorino said ironically when speaking to the press on Thursday evening. Max Mosley protested in a letter to Romano Prodi against the remarks made by Mr Vitorino's spokesperson, a "certain Mr Petrucci", who had stressed that Formula One is not above the law and had woken up a little late. "Such allegations are unacceptable", Mr Mosley writes, considering that it is not the first time "a Commission spokesperson seeks to bring injury upon the FIA", and calling for Mr Vitorino's spokesperson to be dismissed.
