"Faced with worrying figures showing that young people in Europe are becoming increasingly obese, leading some countries, such as France and Denmark, to bring in a tax on sweet fizzy drinks, sport is the best response that we can give. Our young people do not need to be taxed to understand that what they consume is detrimental to their health. Our young people know how to make their own choices, provided that there is an alternative. I voted for this report today, which puts sport forward as a guide to an experience that brings people together and to a healthy lifestyle, because that is the alternative. However, more structures are needed for young people, and qualified coaches are needed, with qualifications that are certified and recognised in every country. Instructors, agents and players should be encouraged to practise mobility within Europe in order to facilitate an exchange of good practices. Healthy sport is sport in which people participate in order to act as a team and in order to win. In other words, it is the antithesis of the message given by doping and easy money, and by voting for this report, I voted against these."@en1
