".
I wish to congratulate Mrs Pack on her excellent report, which I fully support. By adopting the Council common position, it aims to conclude an issue that I feel is of considerable importance: designating 2004 as the European Year of Education through Sport.
Sport is acknowledged to be a major social phenomenon in Europe, and constitutes an extremely important educational tool. Like the rapporteur, I feel that the importance of the effect that the Olympic ideals can have on education should be emphasised. Sport contributes, in particular, to increasing the social skills of young people, such as team spirit, solidarity and fair play.
I therefore welcome the decision to hold the European Year of Education through Sport 2004, which will make a positive contribution to reversing what has almost been the norm to date, and by this I mean Community action on sport which is restricted to pilot schemes and preparatory measures.
I also agree with the rapporteur with regard to the need to adopt the Council common position as it stands, since it takes on board most of the amendments tabled by the European Parliament."@en1
