lpv:translated text	"We Swedish Social Democrats chose to abstain in the final vote (). The reason for this is that the report deals with a number of important aspects of sport in education but, at the same time, with matters which are and should remain a national concern. We chose to vote against the statements in paragraphs 10, 24 and 47. We share the view that physical education is important and that voluntary work is an important part of the sports movement in Europe. However, whether you should have two, three or four hours of PE per week is not something the EU should get involved with. Of course, it is also important that the issue of gender equality becomes an integrated part of the curriculum and that PE teachers are trained in the subject. We also share the opinion that it is a good idea to have sports coeducation, but that is not an EU matter either. We would like to emphasise, however, that we share the view of the report that sport is important for several reasons. It can make an important contribution to counteracting negative health trends like obesity. It can also contribute to added social value for society in general through its educational nature."@en1
