"Few question the importance of children receiving physical education at school. The negative trend of unhealthy lifestyles among young people appears to be increasing from year to year. Mr Schmitt’s report therefore touches on a pressing and important subject. The problem with the report, not least with regard to the paragraphs voted on individually, is that Mr Schmitt goes a very long way. It is difficult to see why the EU in particular should regulate in detail the number of hours of physical education at school, not only for primary school pupils but also for secondary school pupils. Nor can I see any reason for Brussels to micromanage physical education, with demands for mixed gender groups and special sex education. The last paragraph, which aims to set up a special system of commendation for various types of voluntary work, looks particularly strange, not because dedicated Europeans do not deserve appreciation, but because it is difficult to see how such a thing would be structured, administered and financed.
There is no doubt that the aim of the report is good. However, the current formulation has turned out very dubious. That is why I voted no."@en1
