lpv:translated text	". I must clarify my words, Madam President. I never said that I will not act when sport becomes commercial, in fact I said the contrary. I said that when sport is a purely economic and business activity, this is when the rules on competition will fully apply to prevent any deviations in sport. I will indeed act when sport, as a social activity, is threatened by the rules on competition. This is when the Commission will be ready to introduce corrective measures. We know full well that sport is being blown off course on account of its business aspect. This is why we must help sport at the level which is of interest to all the people of Europe, not just as entertainment, but also as an educational activity, promoting solidarity between people, both young and old, and also between the various nations. At this point we can do something. When sport is a business, it must be regarded like any other business in Europe."@en1
