"Sport is an important phenomenon and a social asset. For many, it is one of the most important forms of recreation, whether they take part themselves or are simply spectators. At its best, sport brings people together, no matter what their origin, background, religious beliefs or economic status. Sport promotes the active contribution of European citizens to society and helps foster a sense of social inclusion. Article 165 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union gives the EU a new competence for sport, calls on the EU to contribute to the promotion of sporting issues, and stipulates that EU action should be aimed at developing the European dimension in sport. The communication from the Commission is the first policy document issued in the field of sport after the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, which gives the EU a mandate to support, coordinate and supplement sport policy measures taken by Member States. That is why I voted in favour."@en1
