2.5 Sportsforbundene konfronteres stadig oftere med økonomiske spørgsmål.
2.5 Sports federations are increasingly faced with commercial issues; they have evolved into enterprises providing services in the sports sector or have even become, in certain areas of toplevel competitive sport, businesses subject to the laws of the market.
De har udviklet sig i retning af virksomheder med en servicefunktion og er - inden for visse sportsgrene på højt niveau og på konkurrenceplan - underlagt markedskræfterne.
2.6 Consequently the COR stresses that the European sporting movement must show pragmatism and consistency in tackling the economic constraints which have arisen because of the way it has developed.
De varetager stadig oftere rollen som arbejdsgivere i fuldt omfang.
In this connection, the promotion/relegation system, which the Commission quite rightly points to as the main feature of the European model of sport, would seem to be an important factor.
Dette indebærer også en forpligtelse til i højere grad end tidligere at gå ind i uddannelsen og videreuddannelsen af sportsudøverne.
Although this system may well satisfy sporting requirements, it is no longer adequate for a professional sector seeking the financial investment required for its development.
2.6 Regionsudvalget vil derfor gerne pointere, at den europæiske sportsverden bør søge at finde pragmatiske og sammenhængende løsninger på de økonomiske problemer, som knytter sig til udviklingen inden for sporten.
2.7 It is a considerable challenge to preserve the cultural, educational and social values of the European model while integrating it into a coherent business framework which reconciles sporting interests with the economic stakes of the sporting world.
I den forbindelse synes systemet med op- og nedrykning, som Kommissionen gør ret i at trække frem som et karakteristisk træk ved den europæiske sportsmodel, at
To this end, proposals should be drawn up for harmonising the general conditions governing professional sportsmen and women. This
Der bør derfor udarbejdes forslag til harmonisering af rammebetingelserne for professionelle sportsudøvere, herunder foranstaltninger mod illoyal konkurrence mellem økonomisk stærke og økonomisk svage sportsforeninger.
-3- would include initiatives to combat unfair competition between financially strong and financially weak associations.
Kapitel 1: Den europæiske sportsmodel
Chapter 1: The European Model of Sport
3.1.1 I kapitel 1 søger Kommissionen at vise, hvilke problemer det giver at anvende økonomiske kriterier på sportsområdet, de forskellige interessegrupper (foreninger, klubber, arrangører, medier etc.) identificeres, og der gives et overblik over de vigtigste problemer.
3.1.1 In its analysis in Chapter 1, the Commission tries to demonstrate the problems it has encountered in applying economic criteria to sport, and identifies the various interest groups (associations, clubs, organisers, the media, etc.) and main problems.
3.1.2 Regionsudvalget vil gerne insistere på den ikke ubetydelige rolle, som sportsklubberne spiller for det europæiske samfunds kulturelle og sociale udvikling.
3.1.2 The COR would emphasise that sports clubs play a fairly considerable part in the cultural and social development of our society.
Det finder, at Kommissionen er alt for tavs om den store betydning af de økonomiske midler og den infrastruktur, som de lokale og regionale myndigheder støtter det lokale sportsmiljø med. Efter Regionsudvalgets opfattelse bør Kommissionen tillægge dette aspekt mere vægt og tilkendegive, at det vil søge at bevare og støtte det.
It feels that the Commission has ignored the essential role of local authorities in providing support for local sporting activities, in terms both of funding and infrastructure. The COR feels that the Commission should highlight this aspect and state its readiness to preserve and support it.
3.1.3 Kommissionen sammenligner det europæiske system med det nordamerikanske.
3.1.3 The Commission contrasts the European system with the one in North America.
Efter Regionsudvalgets mening er sidstnævnte i for høj grad centreret om iværksætterånden og det marked, som omgiver sporten, idet man i USA klart skelner mellem professionel sport og amatørsport ved at give dem to vidt forskellige strukturer.
In the COR's view, the latter is centred too much on a business and market-oriented approach to sport, making a clear distinction between professional and amateur sport and giving them totally separate structures.
Regionsudvalget nærer fortsat tillid til og foretrækker den europæiske sociokulturelle model.
The COR therefore retains its faith in and asserts its preference for the European sociocultural model.
3.1.4 Regionsudvalget lægger, som Kommissionen, vægt på den europæiske models særlige kendetegn og ønsker ikke, at medtænkningen af det økonomiske element skal ske på bekostning af de traditionelle værdier.
3.1.4 The COR, like the Commission, would emphasise the special characteristics of the European model and does not want the inclusion of an economic factor to jeopardise traditional values.
Det opfordrer Kommissionen til at være særlig opmærksom på uddannelsens betydning for sporten både inden for sport generelt og hvad angår sportsuddannelsen på professionelt og højt niveau.
It asks the Commission to pay particular attention to the role of schools in sport in general, and to their role in the academic education of top amateur and professional sportsmen and women
3.1.5 Regionsudvalget erkender, at sportens popularitet og mediebevågenhed har konsekvenser og stiller krav af politisk, økonomisk, social og individuel art. Men hvad samfundet
3.1.5 The COR realises that the high profile and media impact of sport may also lead to manipulation action in political, economic, social and individual terms.
Parallellen mellem den europæiske integration og de europæiske sportskonkurrencer virker lidt søgt, når man ved, at de første europamesterskaber blev afholdt i 1886.
between the financial resources of federations administering high-profile sports and those promoting activities which do not meet media and in particular ratings criteria.
Regionsudvalget opfordrer Kommissionen til i sin analyse af sportens finansiering ikke at bagatellisere sportsudøverens, dennes families og tusinde af frivilliges bidrag.
The COR feels that the Commission should not play down the contribution which sportsmen and women, their families and thousands of volunteers make to sports funding.
Regionsudvalget understreger, at det er vigtigt at bevare dette princip gennem politiske og administrative foranstaltninger.
The COR considers it important to preserve this rule for European sport by means of political and administrative measures.
EU's handelslovgivning skal underbygge denne struktur.
This should be backed up by the EU's business legislation.
3.2.2 I den højtudviklede europæiske sportsmodel udfylder hvert niveau i forbundssystemet (pyramidestrukturen) sin særlige plads.
3.2.2 In the developed European world of sport (the European model of sport), each level of the federation system (pyramid model) has its own specific role.
På pyramidens top har de europæiske forbund som deres vigtigste opgave at udarbejde tekniske regler og regler for konkurrencer og at stå for afholdelsen af disse på europæisk niveau samt at koordinere samarbejdet mellem de nationale forbund med henblik på fremme og udvikling af de forskellige sportsgrene.
At the top of the pyramid, the European federations are primarily responsible for technical rules, competition provisions, organisation of competitions at European level and cooperation between national federations to promote and develop sports.
En af forbundenes vigtigste opgaver er i øvrigt i at stå for udformning og løbende videreudvikling af de rammer, som er nødvendige for de forskellige sportsgrenes evolution på et hvilket som helst udøvelsesniveau.
Furthermore, one of the federations' key roles is to train and permanently monitor the officials needed for the development of athletes at all levels.
Spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt en europæisk liga kan administreres på en fornuftig og effektiv måde, bør overlades til de berørte forbund selv.
The question of whether a European league can be properly and effectively managed must be decided by the relevant federations themselves.
3.2.3 Regionsudvalget understreger, at de kommercielle muligheder kun er til stede for ganske få forbund (fodbold, tennis, motorsport). De nationale forbund er som regel i stand til at udføre deres kommercielle rolle.
3.2.3 The COR would point out that real market opportunities exist for only a very few federations (football, tennis, motor sports).
3.3.1 Regionsudvalget vil gerne pointere, at dette grundlæggende er et spørgsmål af teknisk, administrativ art. De nødvendige beslutninger bør tages af de forbund, der har ansvaret på området.
3.3.1 The COR would point out that this is primarily a technical issue. The necessary decisions will have to be taken by the federations concerned as a matter of their own responsibility.
Staten bør ikke blande sig.
It is not appropriate for the state to intervene here.
Men hvis forbundene ikke er tilstrækkelig stærke til at løse problemerne selv i en solidarisk ånd, så bør man til enhver tid anvende principper, der sikrer en sund økonomi.
However, if federations are not strong enough to resolve the issue themselves in a spirit of solidarity, then sound economic principles should always be applied.
3.4.1 For Regionsudvalget er solidaritet en del af selve sportens væsen.
3.4.1 The COR would emphasise that solidarity is a principle intrinsic to sport.
Sportens uddannelsesmæssige og sociale funktion er langt hen ad vejen styret af solidaritet.
The educational and social role of sport is to a large extent determined by the concept of solidarity.
Dette sociale aspekt er et grundlæggende element i de europæiske forhold, som Det Europæiske Råd i Wien (december 1998) specielt lagde vægt på at få opretholdt inden for en EU-ramme.
This social function is a fundamental part of the European system, and the Vienna European Council in December 1998 specifically asked that it be maintained within the Community framework.
Sport bør kun kunne nyde godt af en "særbehandling", så længe solidaritet praktiseres på alle niveauer af sportsudøvelsen, dvs. såvel i klubberne, som giver deres bidrag til sportsforbundene på nationalt og overregionalt niveau, som i forbundene, som på deres side skal opfylde deres forpligtelser over for klubberne og deres medlemmer.
Sport can only be entitled to "special treatment" if solidarity is practised at every level of sporting activity. This applies both to clubs, which must make their contributions to sports associations at regional and supraregional level, and to associations, which must fulfil their duties towards clubs and their members.
3.4.2 Et af målene med EU's sportspolitik bør være at bekæmpe adskillelsen mellem de privilegerede sportsgrene og sport for unge og amatører.
3.4.2 One of the objectives of EU sports policy should be to fight against the distinction between toplevel sport and youth and amateur sport.
Det er ikke passende at opbygge et ræsonnement med udgangspunkt i en adskillelse af professionel sport og sport for alle, idet disse to sportsformer indgår i et permanent samspil og påvirker hinanden gensidigt.
A large part (as much as possible) of this revenue should in future be passed on to the youth and amateur sectors, so as to take pressure off the sports promotion budgets of local and regional public bodies.
Hvis de sættes under de europæiske forbunds kontrol, kan solidaritet godt praktiseres.
Promotion of sport (point 4.4)
Men hvis der indføres "lukkede konkurrencer" uden for forbundene, skal man til enhver tid anvende principper, der sikrer en sund økonomi.
The problem of how to attain the objective of promoting sport is dealt with in
3.4.4 Efter Regionsudvalgets mening skal de få forbund, der er i stand til at skaffe sig betydelige indtægter fra kommercielle aktiviteter og fra tv- og radiotransmissioner, kunne nyde godt af undtagelsesbestemmelser, f.eks. fra begrænsninger med hensyn til konkurrencedeltagelse.
3.5.2 Public funding for sports is based on the principle of subsidiarity and can only become relevant where clubs and associations are unable adequately to fulfil their social role using their own resources. The contribution to be made by clubs and associations themselves should therefore be topped up by revenue from commercial activities.
3.4.5 De nationale og europæiske sportsforbund har hidtil ikke været tilstrækkeligt gode til at anvende solidaritetsprincippet.
3.5.3 The COR considers that use of public funding is only justified for areas of sport that are in the public interest (welfare-oriented) or non-profit making.
Næsten alle indtægter fra salg af tv-transmissionsrettigheder er forblevet i den professionelle sektor.
Hence public funds may not be drawn on to provide financial support for the promotion of professional sport and commercial activities of sports organisations.
En stor del (så stor som muligt) af disse indtægter bør fremover gå til ungdoms- og amatørafdelinger for at lette presset på de lokale og regionale myndigheders budgetter til fremme af sport.
3.5.4 The COR would stress that, with a few exceptions (football, tennis, motor sports), the national federations are unable to provide funding for youth and amateur sports from their own resources, which means they are dependent on regional authorities (municipalities and Länder) for promotion of these sectors.
3.4.6 Lighedsprincippet er endnu ikke gennemført i praksis - men det kan det blive, hvis undtagelsesbestemmelser på grundlag af kravet om en sund økonomi altid baseres på overholdelsen afpassende betingelser.
3.5.5 The question of whether sport can be adequately promoted with a system of closed competitions is dealt with in point 3.3.
Fremme af sporten (punkt 4.4)
European model of sport (point 4.5)
I punkt 3.4.6 rejses spørgsmålet, hvordan man bedst fremmer sporten.
3.6.1 The COR considers that the sports structure developed in Europe should in principle be supported and maintained.
3.5.2 Offentlig finansiering af sporten er baseret på subsidiaritetsprincippet og bør kun forekomme, når klubber og forbund ikke er i stand til på behørig vis at opfylde deres sociale funktion med egne midler.
It would emphasise that it is not the government's task to oversee sports structures and organisations. That must remain the responsibility of independent sports organisations.
Klubbers og forbunds egne bidrag bør suppleres af indtægter fra kommercielle aktiviteter.
However, the state must regulate so as to create an environment in which sport and sports organisations can fulfil their role.
3.5.3 Efter Regionsudvalgets opfattelse er det kun i orden med offentlig finansiering af sport, som er i offentlighedens interesse (sundhed og velvære), eller som består i almennyttige aktiviteter.
3.7.1 The chapter on sport and television essentially gives an accurate picture of the problems faced, although the analysis is occasionally cursory, inaccurate and on certain points imprecise.
Dette udelukker offentlige tilskud til fremme af professionel sport og sportsorganisationers kommercielle aktiviteter.
For instance, the COR would say that sport and television have been developing in tandem only in respect of the small number of sports that attract media attention, which are more in the public eye than the world of mass sport.
3.5.4 Regionsudvalget insisterer på, at de nationale forbund med få undtagelser (fodbold, tennis, motorsport) ikke er i stand til at finansiere ungdoms- og amatørafdelinger med egne midler.
3.7.2 The media strongly influence the development of sport, but this factor is not adequately illustrated by the examples given.
De er altså afhængige af de lokale og regionale myndigheders fremme af sporten.
It is wrong to say that income from television broadcasts has become the main source of funding for most types of sport.
3.5.5 Spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt fremme af sporten kan ske på behørig vis gennem et system med lukkede konkurrencer behandles under punkt 3.3 ovenfor.
Only a very small number of sports attract the level of media interest required to achieve this.
3.6.1 Regionsudvalget mener principielt, at den sportsstruktur, der har udviklet sig i Europa, bør bevares og støttes. Regionsudvalget understreger, at det ikke er regeringemes opgave at overvåge sportens strukturer og organisationer.
3.7.3 The focus on the narrow sector of media sports is understandable given the role of the broadcasting market, but this should not be allowed to obscure the world of sport as a whole, which represents a much broader sphere in economic terms.
Denne opgave påhviler fortsat de uafhængige sportsorganisationer selv. På den anden side mener det, at staten som regulator skal sørge for et miljø, hvor sporten og sportsorganisationeme kan udvikle sig på en måde, der sætter dem i stand til at varetage deres funktion.
Since media sports have an indirect impact on the whole spectrum of sports in Europe, decisions about the legal framework for this sector have both medium- and long-term implications for the future structure and organisation of sports in Europe, with which the majority of Europeans identify through belonging to clubs and associations -and even in other contexts.
3.7.1 Kapitlet om sport og tv giver først og fremmest et præcist billede af de problemer, der trænger sig på.
3.8.1 Sport in Europe is essentially shaped by the work of sports associations and clubs, which deliver an important and comprehensive public service by providing sports facilities and competition opportunities for everybody, on a voluntary basis and throughout the European Union.
Analysen er dog på sine steder overfladisk, unøjagtig og i visse henseender uklar.
This effort deserves to be supported and encouraged through public funding, especially at regional level, where development has been guided by the principles of subsidiarity and solidarity.
F.eks. vil sport og tv kun udvikle sig parallelt inden for de få sportsgrene, der har mediernes bevågenhed, og som trækker flere tilskuere end folkesporten.
The principle of subsidiarity requires that public funding can only be in the form of top-ups, i.e. to supplement existing resources and means.
Det er forkert at hævde, at indtægter fra tv-transmissioner er blevet den største indtægtskilde for de fleste sportsarter.
The trend towards privatising "commercially viable sports" and promoting youth sports through public money must be resisted.
Dette gælder kun for et lille antal sportsgrene med tilstrækkelig mediebevågenhed.
This can only be achieved by making sport associations better able to provide support.
3.7.3 I betragtning af den betydning, tv-transmissioner har, er det forståeligt, at der lægges stor vægt på en lille gruppe af sportsgrene med medietække, men disse bør ikke få lov til at skygge for resten af sportsverdenen, som i økonomisk henseende er langt større.
3.8.3 An important and appropriate way of ensuring that joint (or association) interests prevail over private interests is through collective selling (i.e. by several associations grouping together) of copyright, retransmission rights or television rights.
Kollektivt salg og eksklusive rettigheders varighed (punkt 9.1)
3.8.4 Only very few associations (football, tennis motor sport) are able to derive substantial income from collective selling.
Denne indsats fortjener støtte og opmuntring i form af offentlige tilskud (navnlig på regionalt niveau) i overensstemmelse med principperne om subsidiaritet og solidaritet.
3.8.5 Institutional coordination is also essential if there is to be effective cooperation between professional sport and sport for young people and the general public.
Subsidiaritetsprincippet indebærer, at den offentlige finansiering kun kan have form af rallonger, dvs. gives som supplement til eksisterende ressourcer og midler.
Such coordination could operate either within a sports association spanning both sectors or on the basis of contractual agreements.
3.8.2 Princippet om solidaritet forudsætter, at det økonomiske udbytte fra et lille antal sportsgrene ikke akkumuleres i privilegerede dele af sportsverdenen, men bidrager til finansieringen
3.8.6 As to whether collective selling should be permitted as a means of guaranteeing fair competition or whether it should be linked to a solidarity fund, the COR considers that, as mentioned in point 3.8.2 as high as possible a proportion of television revenue - which is tax-exempt for the beneficiaries and/or sports associations - should go to the youth and amateur sectors. Here the solidarity fund issue is less important.
3.8.3 En vigtig og egnet metode til at sikre, at de kollektive interesser (dvs. forbundenes interesser) får forrang over for de private, er kollektivt salg (f.eks. af flere forbund i fællesskab) af ophavs-, transmissions- og tv-rettigheder.
3.8.7 Sporting events and competitions of commercial interest to the media are organised by associations at certain times of the year (competitions, tournaments, cups).
3.8.4 Kun ganske få forbund (fodbold, tennis og motorsport) kan skaffe sig store indtægter gennem kollektivt salg.
It would be sufficient if exclusive rights were granted for only one of those occasions.
En sådan koordination kan enten ske i et forbund, der dækker begge afdelinger, eller gennem kontrakter.
Holders of exclusive rights should also be able to authorise their sale to third parties or to effect such sales themselves.
Spørgsmålet om hensigtsmæssigheden af en solidaritetsfond er her af mindre betydning.
Associations should be obliged to call for tenders when exercising their collective
Forbindelser mellem sporten og av-industrien (punkt 9.2)
Interpénétration between sport and the audiovisual industry (point 9.2)
Sportsforbundene bør i deres statutter udstyres med retsmidler, der sætter dem i stand til at undgå sådanne opkøb.
Sports associations should be given the legal means to prevent such takeovers through their articles of association.
3.9.2 Omdannelsen af sportsklubber til kommercielle organisationer muliggør sådanne forbindelser og kontrol med flere af deltagerne i sportskonkurrencer.
3.9.2 The conversion of sports clubs into business organisations would allow interpénétration and make it possible to control several clubs involved in sports competitions.
På den måde bliver det lettere at manipulere med resultaterne, hvilket trækker veksler på sportens fremtid.
It would then become easier to manipulate competition results and compromise the future of sport.
3.9.3 For at værne om sportsetikken bør private virksomheder ikke kunne eje sportsklubber.
3.9.3 To safeguard the sporting ethic, businesses should not be allowed to purchase sports clubs.
Dette strider imod sportens principper og målsætningen om, at sportsorganisationerne skal samarbejde.
That would run counter to the principles underpinning sport as well as the objectives of cooperation between sports organisations.
Retten til information (punkt 93)
The right to information (point 9.3)
3.10.1 Efter Regionsudvalgets mening udgør pay-per-view-tv en trussel mod sporten, hvis betalingskanalerne erhverver eksklusivrettigheder af en så lang varighed, at det principielt er uacceptabelt.
3.10.1 The COR sees pay-TV as posing a risk to sport if pay-TV channels acquire exclusive rights with excessively lengthy, and therefore generally unacceptable, lifespan.
Betalingskanalerne vil være fristet til at betale store beløb for rettighederne for at trænge ind på markedet eller udvide deres markedsandel. Dette vil være en alvorlig hindring for publikums adgang til de store sportsbegivenheder i fjernsynet og skabe uorden i markedet.
They could be tempted to pay large sums of money for such exclusive rights in order to secure a foothold and develop markets.
