Baltakos on Poles: “The WTO has no jurisdiction over definitions” – What he said about Bennett

Beyond the theme of the Greek Cup finalbut also what he said about the toxicity in Greek football, the president of the EPO, Takis Baltakosspoke, of course, on the show “World of Sports” on ERT3 and about the arbitration in Greece, while he was placed also for the ridiculous things that happened with the Polish referees of Ares-AEK.

“I still haven’t settled on what happened. But, in any case, it concerns KED! The KED is administratively subordinate to the EPO, that is, we pay their salaries, we serve them administratively, but, as the statute and the Holistic Study say, we have no jurisdiction. They don’t ask our approval for anything. They just tell us “he is, take him”“, initially said Mr. Baltakos and continued: “About the matter with the Poles I was informed by reports around 12-1 in the afternoon. This is a myth, said by various factors. I don’t interfere at all! If they want to update something from KED, they do so, but they are under no obligation».

Regarding Steve Bennett and whether he will remain in the position of head referee and the time, he answered: “Bennett has a two-year contract. Greece, I must say here, has been out of UEFA surveillance since September. EPO has no obligation to consult and ask UEFA, unless we go voluntarily. So, the issue of Bennett depends on what the EPO president will propose and what the Executive will decide».

When asked if he has decided what he will do, he noted: “Again, Bennett has a two-year contract. If he leaves, we will have to pay two referees a year: The current head referee and the former one, which seems to me…extreme»!
