WRITTEN QUESTION P-1445/00

by Arlene McCarthy (PSE) to the Commission

(3 May 2000)

Subject: Sport and the EU Treaties

In recent years increasing numbers of sports-related cases have been brought to the attention of the
European Commission. This situation is complicated by the fact that the legal framework of the European
Union contains no reference to sport.

Does the Commission believe it is desirable or indeed feasible to include in the IGC a protocol or annex on
sport?

What form or legal weight does the Commission believe such a protocol or annex should have?

Answer given by Mrs Reding on behalf of the Commission

(24 May 2000)

The Commission(cid:146)s opinion on the Intergovernmental Conference called with a view to amending the
Treaties is set out in the document entitled (cid:145)Adapting the Institutions to make a success of enlargement(cid:146) (1).

This document does not contain any references to the possible inclusion of sport in the Treaties.

regards facilities for children, specific benefits relating to forms of care, the reintegration of elderly people
