"Mr President, I hope there will be a great football match on 17 June between England and Germany. Most people are looking forward to a good match and hope that it will be safe. But, unfortunately, that is not the view of everybody. The German police anti-hooligan task force has said that it is pretty confident there will be hooligans there. I cannot say anything about German hooligans but I can talk about English football hooligans – I cannot say ‘fans’ and even the word ‘hooligan’ is not strong enough for them. There is a group of people who very definitely are planning to be there. If you doubt me, just look at the press photographs of the problems that occurred in Copenhagen last night.
As well as the problems my colleague referred to that could occur inside the stadium at Charleroi, there is a serious problem that may occur in the streets around that stadium. The head of the Belgian Police Federation has said that he is concerned. We are saying now to the Belgian authorities and the European football authorities that they should choose the option of a safer ground that is available elsewhere in Belgium, and the stadium in Brussels has been cited."@en1
