"The report on sport contained a lot of interesting and sensible things. No one can reasonably be opposed to EU Member States taking strong action against doping and xenophobia within sport. It was more controversial, but in my opinion sensible, to support the Commission’s idea of a common European police force to cover sporting events. To that extent I was prepared to support the report. Unfortunately, the really big issue, the one concerning the liberalisation of gambling monopolies in Europe, missed the target. Personally, I believe that liberalisation, under controlled forms and with licensed gambling and lottery companies, would be able to satisfy both the interest of consumers in a range of gambling options and the sports movement’s need for resources. I therefore abstained from voting."@en1
