".
According to the statistics, a quarter of children in the European Union lead a sedentary lifestyle and have an unhealthy diet. This results in an increased risk of having not only high blood pressure and diabetes, but other illnesses too.
InĀ 2007 the European Parliament adopted the report on the role of sport in education. In fact, it made compulsory the introduction of at least three hours of sport a week as part of educational programmes. We know that physical education prepares children for a healthy lifestyle, passing on important social values such as self-discipline, solidarity, team spirit and fair play.
This is precisely why I am calling on the European Commission to monitor more closely the transposition into national legislation of and compliance with the compulsory requirement for a minimum of three hours of physical education a week in schools, as well as the increase in the number of sports halls and improvement in their basic equipment."@en1
