It is crucial that we continue to use all possible means to ensure that we make better use of sporting values to improve educational programmes, specifically of what is known as ‘parallel education’ and to consolidate and expand, in this framework, a close partnership between educational and sporting organisations, thereby giving full expression to educational values and to the enormous educational potential of sport. We therefore support the initiative of organising a European Year of Education through Sport in 2004 – a year in which the European football championships will take place and in which the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be held in Athens. This is another reason why we voted for the courageous report by Mrs Pack. The aims of the European Year, amongst which we would highlight making education and sports organisations aware of the need for cooperation, highlighting the importance of voluntary activity and providing incentives for including sporting activities in school curricula – and also the financial means to be provided – a financial package of EUR 11.5 million – clearly show the importance of this new line of awareness-raising action. We want to attach the greatest priority, however, to greater efficiency in this field and this is why we support the amendments in favour of substantially increasing the financing of local, national and transnational actions and of the initiatives of European organisations working in the educational and sports sectors. It must be stated, however, that many of the aims pursued with the European Year would not ultimately be achieved if we saw that a significant part of those resources were being spent on more 'surveys and studies'."@en1
