"Madam President, I voted in favour of the report by Mr Mavrommatis. I did so not only because I consider it to be a comprehensive and well-prepared report, but also because I am particularly grateful to the rapporteur and to the Committee on Culture and Education for incorporating the amendments I tabled to the document. These amendments aim to ensure equal treatment for disabled sportspeople in the context of social solutions. Certain national legislative systems provide for financial support of Olympic athletes experiencing financial difficulties after the end of their sporting careers, but the provisions concerned do not apply to Paralympic athletes. Involvement in sport heightens the sense of personal dignity and self-esteem of the disabled."@en1
