Script:
SOUNDBITE: (French) Michel Platini, UEFA President (on political relations affecting the European Championship qualifiers):
"There were certain political issues that were addressed by the Executive Committee. Armenia and Azerbaijan will not be in the same group, Spain and Gibraltar will not be in the same group either because of geo-political considerations. However, we have received letters from the Russian Federation and the Georgian Federation. Certain doubts were cast over whether they could play together in the same group if drawn together but both of those countries are happy to play against each other so that problem has been settled."
