"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as of 2 September 2012, the Hungarian Government introduced daily gym classes for primary school grades one, four and five. This may not seem like a major breakthrough at first, but I must say that I personally spent more than eight years of my political career pointing out the importance of this field. One of the reasons why this had to be taken seriously is that only 9% of the Hungarian population does sport on a regular basis, making us the bottom of the class in the European Union. What is even more startling is that the percentage of children doing sport regularly is only 6%. This means that the future of our children is at stake, as they could suffer serious health issues as adults due to their not being accustomed to regular physical exercise.
To be able to put an end to this trend and set an example for the European Union, we need European Union assistance, as we are missing 300-400 gyms and are counting on the support of the EU and our fellow Members as regards their construction."@en1
