"Article 165 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union gives the EU a new competence for sport. Sport contributes to achieving the EU’s strategic objectives, as it highlights fundamental educational and cultural values. It is also a vector of integration, since it is open to all members of the public, regardless of their sex, ethnic origin, religion, age, nationality, social situation or sexual orientation. Sport is an important phenomenon and a social asset. For many, it is even one of the most important forms of recreation, promoting the active participation of the European public in society and helping to develop a feeling of social inclusion, in addition to the undeniable health benefits. This report also highlights the urgent need for a more active approach by the EU in the fight against doping, violence and intolerance
and in the regulation of a broad economic sector that is growing rapidly and employs 15 million people, directly and indirectly. I voted for this report because I think the measures provided for therein contribute to developing sport and to realising the objective of giving it a European dimension."@en1
