". I am quite surprised – pleasantly surprised – that so many Members of this Parliament are interested in the fight against drug taking in sport, and are so knowledgeable about it. I propose then, that we put all this information together and discuss ways in which we can improve the programmes for fighting drug taking in sport. I agree with you, Mr Bautista Ojeda: top sportsmen and women who are not “clean”, who use substances from outside sport in order to win, do set a bad example. I think that the necessary steps have to be taken as quickly as possible. We will be taking these steps at a world-wide level in conjunction with the Olympic Committee; indeed, it is together with this body that we will take our seat within the world-wide agency on drug taking in sport if, as I hope, the decisions go the way we would like them to. In parallel though, we must develop a programme for fighting drug taking in sport across the fifteen Member States which the Member States themselves will have to set in action. With your permission, Mr President, I shall therefore ask all Members of this Parliament who are interested in this matter to come and meet me so that together we can work out the best way of wiping out this plague."@en1
