"Madam President, as I have just explained, we established the European Year of Education through Sport because we could not establish a European Year of Sport without a legal basis for financing it. I therefore had to sidestep the problem by using education as the legal basis, in order to be able to take specific action relating to sport and to protecting young sportsmen and sportswomen.
What shall we be able to do once the Treaty is in force? We shall be able to take direct action in the field of sport. Firstly, there is to be a Council of Sports Ministers, which will be empowered to make joint proposals with the Commission. The Commission itself will be able to propose action programmes, funded, of course, by the European Union, to help sports federations, governments, educators and clubs to move in the right direction. This will, therefore, change everything. For the time being, I feel that all that we have done has been in preparation for this new treaty, yet we really must have a legal basis to be able to produce a more solid and higher profile policy. In view of the options, we have so far done the most that we can, and even more than that."@en1
