"I voted for this report. Article 165 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) gives competence to the European Union in the sphere of promoting and developing the European dimension in sport. This actively contributes to the EU’s strategic objectives through its cultural and educational value and, above all, as a vector of integration. Although many issues are strictly for individual Member States, the EU should focus its attention on big issues such as doping, the mobility of athletes, and racism and violence in sport. In addition, every effort should be made to determinedly combat all types of unlawful activity, such as money laundering, match fixing and exploitation of minors, which are a real threat to sport and the values it stands for. I agree with the rapporteur on the call to the Commission to organise a European Day of Sports every year to raise the public’s awareness of the benefits of sporting activity. Sport is a public good that should be preserved and cultivated."@en1
