I have supported this report and I fully agree with the recommendation made by the Committee on Culture, Youth, the Media and Sport to amend the Commission proposal in order, firstly, to eliminate the budget lines for surveys and studies and then to add these savings – totalling around EUR 420 000 – to the sums available for local, national and transnational actions and for initiatives by sports and educational bodies whose task is to disseminate information about this Year. As you all know, I have always supported these initiatives, ever since 2004 was designated as ‘European Year of Education through Sport’ – and I stated this in the earliest debates on the matter in this House. I wish to reaffirm that this will give an important boost to better use being made of the educational values of sport in order to improve curricula and especially, parallel education, by establishing broader partnerships between educational and sports bodies. Furthermore, I would say that, in this context, it is worth emphasising the connections between sport and education and thereby increase the visibility of the ‘European Year of Education through Sport’, by holding and funding, for example, athletics meetings at school level in each participating country. Schools sports must, in fact, be a priority within sports policy and must, at the same time, occupy a prime position in schools and educational policy."@en1
