Sažetak
The European Union does not have the power to directly intervene in labour legislation of a Member state. It is upon every EU Member state to work on its legal framework in its labour law. On the other hand, EU institutions by its secondary law - its "soft law" and the European Court of Justice have an immense role in putting national labour legislation on a right way.Some labour standards, like the recognition of the legislator to the legal relationship between a professional team player (as worker) and his sports club (as employer) as a labour relationship is mostly accepted in the EU and worldwide. Taking football as a model for all professional team sports, because of its most developed "legal corpus", we could reach such legal standards. The April 2012 Agreement setting minimum contract requirement for football players could be of great help. This Agreement is a "cornerstone" of the new European sports (labour) law because of lot of reasons. After years and years of fight between the FA and clubs representatives on the one hand and players trade unions on the other, with the participation of European Commission and UEFA, a new begging has started.
