"Mr President, I should like to thank all the Members who have spoken in this sitting. I am not going to waste a second refuting some of the lies that have been told today. Whoever is able to read should simply read the report.
I would, however, like to finish by stressing the importance of sport for a variety of vital social issues such as the integration of the most vulnerable groups, public health, education, employment and the economy.
We should remember that sport in Europe represents, whether directly or indirectly, 15 million jobs – that is, 5.4% of the active population – and an annual added value of EUR 407 billion, which is 3.65% of European GDP. For this reason, because sport is so important, I welcome the Commission’s initiative and support, and I would also venture to ask the Commissioner whether Structural Funds could be applied specifically to sport.
Above all, I would like to thank the main political groups in this House for their support. Thanks to the support shown by those groups, I hope that this report will be adopted in tomorrow’s vote."@en1
