However it appears that this will not be the case and it is uncertain what level of information and detail will be made publicly available from the Report by the Chairman of the Adjudicatory Chamber, Mr Hans-Joachim Eckert. Indeed, on 17 October 2014, Mr Eckert gave a short interview  to FIFA’s own website to clarify queries and counter some of the pressure he has been coming under from a variety of stakeholders utfifas within football.

In response to the question, “Why will Michael Garcia’s report not be published in full?”, his response was, “Publishing the report in full would actually put the FIFA Ethics Committee and FIFA itself in a very difficult situation, legally. What is more, we have to respect the personal rights of the people mentioned in the report, which in the case of full publication of the report would in likelihood not be possible."

The organisation and procedure of the FEC is governed by the FIFA Code of Ethics 2012 Edition (‘COE’).  For completeness, it is worth noting that any substantive charges brought as result of the Report would principally be brought under the COE 2009 Editionprincipally Article 11 (bribery), www.utfifas.co because the report covers behaviour up to and including the voting for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups on 2 December 2010.
The COE is a document which is issued by the FIFA Executive Committee (‘ExCo’) , the executive body of FIFA , pursuant to Article 63(3) of the FIFA Statutes (Ethics Committee).
