"The Commission communication is the first policy document on sport since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, which gives the EU the mandate to support, coordinate and supplement sport policy measures taken by Member States. Sport itself constitutes an important social activity and a public good. For many, it is one of the most important forms of recreation, whether they take part or are only spectators. One of the biggest benefits of sport is that it brings people together, no matter what their origin, background, religious beliefs, gender or economic status. Doping, spectator violence and disorder remain, unfortunately, a Europe-wide problem, and there is a need for a European approach comprising measures designed to reduce the associated risks. Sport promotes the active contribution of European citizens to society and helps foster a sense of social inclusion, as it is an important and thriving economic sector which makes a significant contribution to growth and employment, exceeding the average growth rates for value added and employment. However, the sustainable funding of sport is an issue which needs to be examined in closer detail."@en1
