Sport is an activity that has many virtues, such as developing team spirit and learning to help one another in team sports, a good way to use leisure time, clear health benefits, and the opportunities it provides for learning the importance of obeying rules and for developing a sense of ethics, for example. All initiatives to promote sport are, therefore, always welcome. In line with the old adage ‘a healthy mind in a healthy body’, sport must start at school and it is extremely important that everyone, both men and women, enjoys identical conditions, which are also appropriate to their level of involvement.
The under-representation of women in decision-making on sporting matters in sports federations and associations is not a problem specific to sport, but is an issue that needs to be duly addressed in this area too. The Union must encourage women’s participation, although we believe that some of the proposals constitute excessive interference, both in the competence of the Member States and in sports associations’ ability to manage their own affairs – in other words, a dual breach of the principle of subsidiarity."@en1
