"Sport is definitely one of the most powerful ways in which we can integrate the most disadvantaged and advance cross-cultural understanding. It is one of the key components of social action to promote personal integration and development worldwide. I therefore voted in favour of this report, which supports the economic dimension and the societal role of sport, urging and encouraging Member States and the Commission to do more to promote, support and foster its development across all sections of the European population, in particular, by enabling grassroots sports to receive support from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF). I also enthusiastically welcomed the inclusion of specific proposals in this resolution such as organising an annual ‘European Day of Sports’, the designation of a ‘European capital of sport’ every year, facilitating and promoting mobility programmes for young athletes and sports coaches, and the suggestion to fly the European flag at major international sports events. Sport can help us promote our values. It is particularly important that we support it in all its dimensions, especially at a time when European values and solidarity have been undermined."@en1
