"Well, Mr Špidla has said it all. An important role has been set aside in sport for employment, for social affairs. Sport does indeed have an important social function, for example fighting problems such as racism. Racism in society is reflected by racism in sport.
I am extremely glad of the attention that this White Paper pays to eliminating racism and discrimination, in both professional and amateur sport.
Sport also has many advantages for, to take some examples, social inclusion, integration of migrants or reintegration into the labour market. For this reason I welcome the Commission’s recommendation to direct the Member States to make use of the EU’s existing funds.
Furthermore, sport is becoming more and more professional, and there is a need for good training for sportswomen and sportsmen so that after their careers they can return to society.
I have one final point: it is also important to improve the professional qualities of sports managers and for this reason we support a licensing system at European level."@en1
