"This resolution concerns a policy area that should fall outside the competence of the EU. The resolution emphasises the social significance of sports organisations and their importance in producing tolerance, cooperation, team spirit and solidarity. It may certainly be the case that they give rise to these qualities, but why should the EU make efforts in this area?
There is no reason for the EU to create a budget heading for sports-based development programmes and projects. Nor is there any cause for it to set up programmes aimed at increasing physical education teachers’ knowledge and experience of development and sport. These are national, or even regional, issues.
The resolution advocates that sports journalists be trained using EU funds so that they might learn to avoid stereotyping, discriminatory phraseology and racist expressions. It is important to combat racism and discrimination, but it is not necessary to take action at EU level in connection with this kind of programme. These are issues on which each country should decide for itself and on which the EU should have absolutely no say. The EU should work on truly cross-border issues that are not being dealt with satisfactorily by existing international organisations."@en1
