lpv:translated text	"In paragraph 4, the report calls upon the Convention ‘to provide a legal basis for sport in the future Treaty of the Union, recognising its cultural, educational and social functions and including a reference to equal access for women and men to participation in sports and related responsibilities’. I am able to concur with everything that is being said in this House about sport – but not that the EU should be given the right to legislate in respect of this area too. That is why I have voted against the report. A Swedish proverb says that ‘if you are too greedy, you easily lose the lot’. The EU neither can nor should take upon itself the right to legislate in respect of sport. That would be extending the EU’s jurisdiction too far, and without the EU having the ability to comply with this responsibility. The principles of subsidiarity and proportionality are unambiguous in indicating that centralised legislation at European level far away from the sports associations, clubs and practitioners would not add any value to sport but, on the contrary, afford it significant disadvantages."@en1
