"Developing a shared European dimension in sport is dear to the heart of the European Union. The Treaty of Lisbon gave the EU a mandate to support, coordinate and supplement sport policy measures taken by Member States. Sport itself is an important social phenomenon and a public good. For many, it is one of the most important forms of recreation, whether they take part themselves or if they are a spectator. European policies on sport must, in sporting terms, support the fight against doping, while from a cultural point of view, we need to take action to reduce spectator violence and disorder. We must not forget the importance of sport for public health. Indeed, this vote underlines the fact that sport is a major public health tool and a powerful factor for reducing public health expenditure, while also stressing that the positive effects of regular physical activity include the prevention of health problems such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and osteoporosis."@en1
