"Mr President, in voting in favour of the Catania report, I am bearing in mind the fact that the 2008 UEFA European Football Championship is to be held in Austria, for I do believe that a number of regrettable developments are making themselves felt in professional football. Not only are there instances of fraud, dubious financial practices and unfair competition, which we now have to combat in a determined manner at EU level, but readiness to commit acts of violence in connection with football is breaking all bounds, with a few so-called fans keeping hundreds of police officers on tenterhooks – officers who may be needed elsewhere and who cost a great deal of money. The sensible thing to do would be to stop hooligans at the border, and stadiums should have separate entrances and exits for the various groups. Not only do banners and placards inciting violence need to be banned, but considerably stiffer penalties for such disturbances of the peace are also needed."@en1
