"I welcomed this document because it urges the Commission to propose a dedicated and ambitious budget for sports policy under the future multiannual financial framework (MFF) given the public health, social, cultural and economic benefits of sport. Sport at all ages is an important area with great potential for improving the overall level of health of Europeans and therefore, the EU and Member States are urged to encourage involvement in sport and to promote a healthy lifestyle, fully exploiting the opportunities of sport, because ultimately, this will reduce spending on health care. I am pleased about the focus on disabled people, encouraging them to take up sporting activities and providing adequate funding to develop sport and competitions for people with disabilities, above all, by giving them access to sport and equal opportunities to participate in sport and use sports facilities adapted to the needs of disabled athletes free of charge. Sport plays an important role in ensuring social inclusion, public health and volunteerism across borders. It promotes physical activity and facilitates significant savings in terms of public expenditure on health."@en1
