"Mr President, since the 1960s, 14 people have died in Italy in football riots. Last week, a policeman with a family was killed in Sicily when spectators threw a bomb at him. There are problems, however, all over Europe. It is sad and shameful for Europe that football breeds violence both on and off the pitch. All those involved in football need to work together to defend the sport’s tarnished reputation. Zero tolerance on racism and violence would seem to be the only way to combat these problems. Penal measures are not working: we have to come down hard on the clubs in terms of financial penalties, as has now been done. Suspending matches and playing to empty stadiums will hurt the clubs’ pockets. This way, they will not be able to neglect their responsibility to improve security for long. This way, the clubs will also start to show a genuine interest in keeping their supporters under control."@en1
