"Too often, still, the press reports incidents of violence connected with sporting events. Disturbances caused by supporters are seen throughout the EU, and measures backed by all the Member States must be adopted to combat this. In the text adopted today, we are asking, for example, for a ban to be placed on access to stadiums by fans guilty of violent and discriminatory behaviour. It is through action which is better coordinated and more efficient that we will avoid the occurrence in Europe of tragic violent incidents such as yesterday’s episode in Egypt, where approximately 74 people died in the rioting that followed a football match. I agree that it is also vital to adopt a more active integrated approach in the fight against doping. As well as running counter to the principles of honesty and fairness in competitive sport, doping represents a serious threat to the health of both professional and amateur athletes. I therefore hope that the European Union can succeed in playing a more active role in protecting the integrity of sport, by tackling those challenges which undermine its important social and educational roles."@en1
