"While I do not have a photographer present like Mr Vallvé, I have a serious point to make about violence at football matches. Could the Commissioner tell me the latest position on the question of organised racist violence at football matches?
My own country, England, will shortly be playing a football match against a candidate country and risks being thrown out of the competition in question as a result of racism from its fans. While I know that this is the preserve of UEFA and not a matter directly for the Commission, I want to ask about the increase in racist violence at national and regional football matches, the fact that it is organised – often from the far right but not exclusively so – and whether the Commission would at least make a statement about this increase because, as the previous speaker said, sport is an expression of the culture and way of life of countries within the European Union. I am particularly worried about that expression from candidate countries where racism in football matches will be on the rise."@en1
