"Mr President, the profession of sports agent is one with no safeguards and little or no supervision, let alone penalties for misconduct, for example, human trafficking. The EU has carried out a study and identified abuses but, as yet, has failed to do anything about the situation. Yet something must be done. I am very concerned about the vulnerability of underage players, particularly those from developing countries, who are often victims of human trafficking. The EU has to clamp down on this. The resolution presents specific proposals: putting a stop to remuneration for agents of underage players, enforcing more transparency in financial transactions during transfers, and more regulation by Member States given that the sports federations do not have the situation under control at present. Specific measures are required in order to tackle Wild West conditions. The Commission must ensure that enforcement and the penalising of malpractice – which, after all, is often cross-border in nature – are improved. In addition, the rights of underage players must be safeguarded effectively at all times."@en1
