lpv:translated text	"I would like to thank the Members for their extremely pleasant cooperation on this report. I think, however, that it must have taken a great deal of time to achieve this proposal. I find, sadly, that in some matters it does not go far enough. It is very important, in my opinion, to create guidelines to which sporting organisations can commit themselves. When it comes to State support, we should aim for the same treatment throughout Europe, particularly where professional sporting organisations are concerned. I also find that the distinction between the specific characteristics of sport and the economic activities that frequently accompany sport is a little too explicit, because I believe that economic activities – including those that protect sport – cannot have exceptions made for them in the Treaty. That is fortunately also not mentioned in this report. That is also the reason why I wholeheartedly support it. I think it is good that sporting organisations have started talking more than they did formerly about this subject, and that is a significant step forward. Thank you very much."@en1
