"I endorsed the resolution on players’ agents in sports.
Only five Member States (Bulgaria, France, Greece, Hungary and Portugal) and four international federations (FIBA, FIFA, IAAF and IRB) have separate legal regulations governing the activities of agents in sports. Therefore, it is essential to prepare a joint Union strategy regulating the activity of players’ agents in sports. This strategy will allow us to eliminate legal loopholes in this area and will make it possible to monitor and control the activities of agents. This is extremely important, because – as the European Commission’s research shows – sports agents play an important role in the organisation of non-transparent and illegal corrupt activities. Such practices are particularly dangerous for young sports players, who can become the victims of human trafficking.
The current state of affairs is detrimental to the image of sport and its integrity, credibility and role in society. This is why it is so important to resolve the problem quickly and develop a common strategy which will ensure: 1. transparency in agents’ transactions, 2. a prohibition for remuneration to agents related to the transfer of minors and 3. the introduction of minimum, harmonised standards for contracts and systems of monitoring and discipline.
I would also like to draw attention to closer coordination of the European Union’s activities in the fight against crime in sport: 1. money laundering, 2. match fixing and 3. human trafficking. It is good that this opinion is shared by the bodies and entities which are involved in sport."@en1
