		Basketball is organised at international level by the International Basketball Federation (Fédération Internationale de Basket-ball, FIBA), whose rules must be followed by the national federations.
		The Advocate General rejects justification based on the 'organisational autonomy of sporting federations', since the transfer deadlines interfered too much with the fundamental right of freedom of movement for workers, as the recruitment of sportsmen from other Member States was impossible at certain times.
		Another justification for a staggered transfer deadline could be the aim of 'preventing a transfer movement', that is, the transfer of a large number of players between federations whose championships end early and those whose championships end later.
