We have FIFA’s clear and distinct commitment that this will happen. We have their assurance that the money will be cascaded down, right down to the club who nurtured the player from the age of 12, and we have their assurance that 5% of the transfer fees will be put back into the fund. Naturally, we shall be checking that, in practice, everything is carried out in accordance with these assurances, and if there is a problem, we shall certainly make our views known.
Madam President, I would like, if I may, to extend this line of thinking a little further because there are two very important decisions to mention. The first is solidarity between the richest clubs and the less wealthy clubs and the second is the protection of young people through a code of conduct. In my view – and, furthermore, I intend, during the Belgian Presidency, to present a proposal on this issue to the Ministers for Sport – these measures could be extended to cover other sports, because the protection of young people concerns all other sports as well as football, and the same goes for solidarity between the clubs in the premier division and the small clubs who put in the initial work. We can use these arguments to lobby other sporting authorities and disciplines so that they take steps in the same direction."@en1
