"Mr President, I welcome the question raised by our President in the middle of the World Cup. The Commission study has worrying aspects, in that it exposes the risk to the ethics and reputation of sport.
If the sporting movement is to remain the main player in regulation, by relying on the thousands of charitable men and women who keep alive the sporting spirit as we love it, because is it a factor in individual development, the States should be at their side to punish attacks on public order and to punish excesses.
These excesses are found in the sports business, in which players are increasingly becoming commodities and their agents simply brokers, placing them just like commodities. Transfers command astronomical sums and the rights of minors are increasingly trampled upon.
These excesses are a cross-border phenomenon, it is money as king, crazy money, and has unfortunately been strengthened by the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities. The leading bodies of certain sports in question, especially football, are looking for aid from European bodies. Yes, Commissioner, we need to act and, for my part, I am sorry that France has just passed legislation to the contrary."@en1
