".
Mr Andersson is very aware of the problems inherent in the fight against drug taking in sport. I would like to thank him for his intervention and I would like to discuss this matter with him, as he seems to have information which I would like to make use of.
Let us move on to the specific issue here. As you know, Mr Andersson, the Treaty of Amsterdam clearly specifies that there must be a European body competent in this area, but we must also take subsidiarity into account as well as the autonomy of the world of sport. The measures that I would like to present to the College and to Parliament will therefore be measures which have the assent of Member States and which will guarantee this autonomy.
I am also responsible for youth programmes. I have already discussed this with colleagues who are dealing with these matters in Parliament. I am very aware of the importance of prevention through the work of youth movements. Our studies have shown that in most cases, sporting organisations are the ones that young people value most. I think then that through these young people, and through sport, we can convey many ideas on cooperation, attitudes of fair play and the elimination of racism and xenophobia. Consequently, moving in these directions – fair play, sport and healthy young people – youth programmes will be taking the direction that you would like to see, Mr Andersson."@en1
