Platini tells French daily Ouest-France that UEFA is having an "ongoing debate" about possible changes to its competitions for the 2015-18 cycle of broadcasting contracts.[break]
Platini says "we´re discussing it. We will make a decision in 2014."
The Europa League earns one-sixth of the Champions League´s €1.34 billion ($1.73 billion) annual revenue, which is mostly shared by 32 clubs which reach the group stage.
The Europa League´s longer and more complicated format has also proved unpopular with some clubs and fans.
However, scrapping it in favor of a 64-team Champions League would likely be opposed by European Club Association members whom UEFA is obliged to consult on competition changes.
