recognises the important contribution that hosting world-class events makes to Scotland’s
international profile; welcomes the opportunity that the new flagship sporting event, the Glasgow
2018 European Championships, brings to Glasgow and Scotland in August; supports the aim that
the championships will drive the ambition for Scotland to become an active nation by helping to
inspire people to lead more active lifestyles; acknowledges that the championships will showcase
all that Scotland has to offer and build on the legacy of the "best ever" Commonwealth Games in
2014; values the opportunity that the championships offer to engage with young people in
Scotland’s Year of Young People, and recognises that the championships will facilitate the
development of strong relationships across Europe, including creating a unique partnership with
Berlin and Germany.
