The EU is firmly against FIFA's idea of player limits in teams to encourage more homegrown talent to emerge. The EU's employment law upholds the principle of freedom of movement of workers.
In a paper on EU sports policy, the European Parliament backed the UEFA approach.
"FIFA wants to oblige clubs to invest more in 'homegrown' talent, a goal which we support 100 percent. Unfortunately, however, the 'six plus five' rule is not compatible with the free movement of persons in the EU,'' said Belgian lawmaker Ivo Belet. "We therefore ask FIFA to join forces with the European Parliament and the European Commission and fully back the 'homegrown' rule.''
