"Article 165 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) 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. Current challenges for effective management in sport include the free movement of citizens and nationality of sportspeople, transfers of players, the integrity of sporting competitions and European social dialogue in the sport sector.
The communication entitled ‘Developing the European Dimension in Sport’, which the Commission adopted on 18 January 2011, states that EU action contributes to the overall goals of the Europe 2020 strategy by improving employability and mobility, though actions promoting social inclusion in and through sport, education and training, and European guidelines for physical activity.
The Commission is currently providing support to sporting projects and networks, either through motivational measures specifically aimed at sport, and, in particular, preparatory schemes, or through existing programmes in a number of relevant areas, such as lifelong education, public health, youth programmes, citizenship, research and technical development, social inclusion, combating racism and environmental protection.
I believe that, given its educational and cultural value, sport can make a significant contribution to the achievement of the Union’s strategic goals."@en1
