Canal + has decided to lodge a complaint with the French courts for competitive sports channel Sport bein accusing him of "unfair competition". French Canal + can not compare with Qatar investor who has huge financial resources.

Bein Sport offers its channel in France for 11 euros monthly fee compared to about 40 euros / month for the offer French Canal +. French station condemns Bein Sport claiming that the channel is being undervalued, undercutting price.

In an interview with French daily Les Echos, sports director of Canal + said about bein SPORT, it was "the competitor with deep pockets, which includes economic model, which we believe is unfair and driven by interests, financed by state funds of Qatar. Their resources are vast and our ability to resist them, there are endless. "

President of Canal +, Bertrand said that "loss Bein Sport will be less than 300 million euros in the first week. Their goal is not to achieve profits. It's sad when you see these endless spending, of which there is no income."

The case will determine the Commercial Court of Paris.
