For at støtte sportens sociale funktion skal man ved transmission af sportsbegivenheder sikre public service-kanalernes adgangsret og sørge for relevante og konsekvente bestemmelser for betalingskanalerne, som i kraft af eneret på transmission af visse sportsbegivenheder kan undergrave borgernes ret til at se sportsbegivenheder i tv.
So as to safeguard the aforementioned social role of sport, it is necessary to ensure that public channels retain broadcasting rights to sports events and consequently to regulate in an appropriate manner the world of pay-TV which, because of its exclusive rights to broadcast certain sports events, is undermining the right of everyone to enjoy sport as a spectator.
3.10.2 I betragtning af deres socialpolitiske ansvar og solidaritetsprincippet bør sportsforbundene tilskyndes til at sige nej til aftaler, som måske nok vil give økonomiske fordele på kort sigt, men som samtidig vil berøve det brede publikum muligheden for at følge de pågældende sportsbegivenheder i tv. En sådan praksis vil skade sportsudviklingen i Europa og i sidste ende ramme forbundene selv.
3.10.2 In view of their socio-political responsibility and the principle of solidarity sports associations should be encouraged to reject agreements that might well bring them short-term financial gains but would prevent the general public from seeing sporting events on television. Such practices would compromise the development of sport in Europe and ultimately rebound on the sports associations themselves.
3.10.3 Hvis tv-kanalerne bliver aktionærer i de største europæiske sportsklubber, vil de få indflydelse på den europæiske sports ledende instansers beslutninger.
3.10.3 If TV channels become shareholders in major European clubs, they will affect the decisions taken by leading European sports bodies.
Med andre ord vil de især få indflydelse på spillets regler som underholdning betragtet og vil især i høj grad påvirke tilrettelæggelsen og programmeringen af konkurrencerne.
In other words, they will influence the rules of the game more, making sports more of a spectacle and above all dictating the organisation and timing of matches.
Offentlige tv-tjenesters rolle (punkt 9.4)
Sports ethics are therefore under threat.
Tv er meningsdannende og opdrager til politisk demokrati, men dets klassiske rolle omfatter desuden en kulturel dimension - kulturel i bred forstand, som også indbefatter sport.
3.11.1 In view of their basic public service role, public broadcasting companies must provide comprehensive and well-publicised coverage of the full range of sporting activities Besides shaping opinions and fostering political awareness, the traditional broadcasting role has a cultural dimension, embracing culture in the broader sense, which naturally includes sport.
3.11.2 For øjeblikket opfylder de offentlige kanaler enten kun delvis eller slet ikke deres forpligtelser på dette felt.
3.11.2 At the moment public broadcasting companies are barely meeting this requirement, if at all.
De bør i højere grad presses til at gøre det.
More pressure must be put on them to respect this obligation.
3.11.3 De offentlige tv-tjenester bør i deres egenskab af leverandører af offentlige tjenesteydelser præsentere "minoritets"-sportsgrene.
3.11.3 Public television should show minority sports as part of its public service role.
I Tyskland skal de offentlige kanaler reservere en passende sendetid til alle sportsgrene, herunder til "minoritets-sportsgrene", i deres programmer.
In Germany, public TV channels are required to give adequate programming time to all sports, including "minority sports".
3.11.4 Hvad spørgsmål 1 angår, er Regionsudvalget ikke enig med Kommissionen i, at sportsprogrammer falder uden for de offentlige tjenesteydelser.
3.11.4 With regard to question 1, the COR challenges the Commission's view that the public service role does not encompass sports programmes.
Der bør under alle omstændigheder opstilles en liste med kriterier, som kan anvendes til at afgøre, om en given sportsbegivenhed er at betragte som ren underholdning og derfor ikke nødvendigvis skal udsendes af de offentlige tv-tjenester, eller som en manifestation, der er centreret om sportens mål og indhold, og derfor hører under tv-stationernes ansvar som offentlige institutioner.
However, a list of criteria should be drawn up that can be used to assess whether a given event falls into the category of pure entertainment, and should therefore not be shown by public TV, or whether it is one where the nature and objectives of sport are central and hence covered by the public service role.
Der fokuseres på sportsudøvelsens sociale funktioner og på de områder, hvor disse manifesterer sig: a) uddannelse, b) miljø, c) sundhed og d) beskæftigelse.
It highlights the social functions of sporting activity and the areas where they operate: (a) education, (b) environment, (c) health and (d) employment.
3.12.2 Man har kunnet konstatere en tendens til, at sociale organisationer som svar på tidens sociale udfordringer "kaprer" sportsbegrebet - en idé, der ofte gentages af de politiske beslutningstagere.
3.12.2 In the face of today's social challenges, clubs and associations have tended to monopolise the concept of sport, an idea often conveyed by political decision-makers.
Samtidig har den private sektor af rent kommercielle grunde bevæget sig ind på sundhedsområdet (fitness-centre).
A similar phenomenon can be observed in the heath and welfare sector, which has been taken over by the private sector for purely commercial purposes (fitness centres).
3.12.3 På uddannelsesområdet mener Regionsudvalget, at EU har en vigtig rolle at spille for anerkendelsen af kvalifikationer, som er knyttet til lederfunktioner i sportsverdenen.
3.12.3 In the education sector, the COR believes the EU has a key role to play in recognition of the qualifications, vital to organisation of the sporting movement.
EU bør desuden gøre det lettere for sportsudøvere og instruktører at praktisere i andre medlemsstater ved at fremme afskaffelsen af hindringer for den frie bevægelighed.
In addition, the EU should make it easier for sportsmen and women and coaches to practise in the various Member States by encouraging the removal of obstacles to free movement.
3.12.4 Regionsudvalget understreger, at sporten som en kulturel del af samfundet er formidler af individuelle og sociale værdier; den fremmer den enkeltes velbefindende og integration i samfundet.
3.12.4 The COR would emphasise that sport is a cultural component of our societies, a vector of individual and social values: it contributes to the well-being of all and to their integration
-1 1 - samfundsproblemer?
- 10- into society.
I bekræftende fald, bør man have en særlig politik for en instrumental logik, som er fremmed for sporten og sportsånden?"
These are important values, flowing naturally from the practice of sport and the structure of the sporting movement.
3.12.6 Sport er en integreret del af samfundet.
3.12.6 The sporting movement is an integral part of our society.
Regionsudvalget understreger, at ingen er bedre stillet end sportsklubberne til at forfølge denne logik, bistå de unge med at udvikle deres personlighed og fysiske velvære og fremme deres integration i samfundet - evt. i sporten selv.
The COR would stress that there is nothing better than the club for promoting this ideal and helping young people to develop their personalities and physical fitness and become socially integrated, possibly via the sport itself.
Et af de grundlæggende elementer i sportens sociale rolle er i øvrigt muligheden for at fremme social integration af personer med fysiske eller mentale handicap.
One of the basic aspects of the social role of sport is also its capacity to further the social integration of the physically or mentally handicapped.
Regionsudvalget understreger, at sportsklubber ikke er virksomheder, og at sportsforbund ikke er industrielle organisationer i økonomisk retlig forstand, men foreninger med en offentlig funktion, der først og fremmest bygger på borgernes frivillige engagement.
The COR would emphasise that sports clubs are not businesses and sports associations are not industrial organisations in the company law sense but associations which fulfil a public function, essentially on the basis of a voluntary commitment by members of the public.
Sportssektoren er ikke desto mindre en betydelig økonomisk sektor, der alt i alt står for 1,5% af bruttonationalproduktet i EU, og en servicesektor, der udbyder en lang række beskæftigelsesmuligheder.
The sports sector is nevertheless an important economic sector, representing more than 1,5% of the EU's GNP, and as a service sector it offers a wide range ofoutlets. outlets.
3.12.7 Regionsudvalget anser det derfor for meget vigtigt, at forholdet mellem sporten og EU hviler på et solidt grundlag og respekterer sportsudøverens individuelle rettigheder, sportssystemets uafhængighed og dermed dets evne til at tilpasse sig og udvikle sig inden for den internationale sportsverdens regler.
3.12.7 The COR therefore believes it essential that the sporting movement's relationship with the EU should be founded on principles which, while respecting the individual rights of sportsmen and women, safeguard the independence of the sporting movement and hence its ability to move with the times and adapt to changes in the rules laid down by the world sporting movement.
På den anden side bør Kommissionen inden for rammerne af sine beføjelser gøre brug af sin mulighed for at gribe ind til fordel for den enkelte sportsudøver og dennes udfoldelsesmuligheder.
The Commission must also intervene, where it has the authority to do so, to further the individual protection of sportsmen and women and their personal fulfilment.
3.12.8 Her er det dog på sin plads med en advarsel.
3.12.8 A warning note nevertheless needs to be sounded.
Det er forkert at tro, at man nemt og smertefrit kan styre sporten gennem lovbestemmelser og cirkulærer.
Managing sport by means of regulations and circulars is no easy matter.
Sport er en yderst sammensat størrelse, såvel sportsligt som politisk.
Sport is an extremely varied activity, both in sporting and in political terms.
3.12.9 Ikke alene har enhver sport sine egne særlige kendetegn, den institutionelle planlægning af sporten varierer også fra det ene EU-land til det andet (se bilag), hvilket komplicerer koordinationen på EU-plan så meget desto mere.
3.12.9 Apart from the fact that each sport has very specific characteristics, the institutional approach to sport varies from one EU country to another (see annex), thus complicating the task of coordination at European level.
3.12.10 Hertil kommer, at de forskellige aspekter af sportsudøvelsen, som kan give anledning til indgriben fra EU's side, spænder over vidt forskellige kompetencer. De kan vedrøre uddannelse, sundhed, sikkerhed, miljø, beskæftigelse, dannelse, infrastruktur m.m. - aspekter, som sjældent hører under sportsministeriets kompetence i medlemsstaterne.
3.12.10 Further, the various aspects of sport which could prompt the EU to intervene, encompass a number of very different fields - education, health, safety, environment, employment, training, infrastructure etc. - which in many Member States do not come within the remit of the minister for sport.
3.12.11 Regionsudvalget understreger, at en samlet EU-politik på området må defineres omhyggeligt, så sporten kan få et regelsæt, der sætter den i stand til at opbygge strukturer, som giver lige adgang til sport på alle niveauer.
3.12.11 The COR would emphasise that the Commission's introduction of an overall policy for sport must give appropriate pointers so that the sporting movement has rules which enable it to set up structures which guarantee that everyone can practice a sport, whatever their level of competence.
Sport og lige muligheder
Sport and equal opportunity
3.13.1 Regionsudvalget understreger, at en politik for "sport for alle" baseret på princippet om lige muligheder er en uadskillelig del af den europæiske sportsmodel, hvorfor den bør støttes og fremmes bl.a. ved at garantere alle borgere (herunder de handicappede) uanset alder, køn, herkomst, social eller økonomisk stilling adgang til enhver sportsaktivitet.
3.13.1 The COR would stress that a "sport for all" policy based on the principle of equal opportunity is an integral part of the European model of sport and must be supported and promoted. This means guaranteeing that all citizens, including those with disabilities and regardless of age, sex, race or social/economic background, are able to practice sport.
Foranstaltninger, der med udgangspunkt i unge pigers og kvinders særlige behov sigter mod at skabe forhold, der tilskynder disse til at deltage i sportsaktiviteter og i ledelsen af beslutningstagende og administrative organer inden for sportsområdet, falder i tråd med en sådan indfaldsvinkel, hvilket også fremhæves i Regionsudvalgets udtalelse "Lige muligheder for piger og drenge i forbindelse med fritidsaktiviteter med særlig henblik på EU's programmer på ungdoms- og idrætsområdet" CdR 182/97 fin (ordfører: Barbro Sundback).
This approach includes measures to create conditions encouraging girls and women to take part in sporting activities and in the management of decisionmaking and administrative bodies, in the light of their own particular needs as highlighted in the COR opinion on equal opportunities for girls and boys in leisure activities and especially in EU youth and sport programmes (CdR 182/97 fin - rapporteur: Ms Sundback).
Denne adgang til sportsaktiviteter forudsætter en udbygning af sportsfaciliteterne.
Promoting such accessibility to sport means that sports facilities must be expanded.
I visse EU-lande drøfter man for øjeblikket en omlægning af skoleforløbet, som vil indebære en mere intensiv brug af infrastrukturer; dette forudsætter igen, at de lokale og regionale myndigheder, som er ansvarlige for de sportsfaciliteter, der benyttes til skolebrug, skal foretage en række investeringer.
Some countries of the European Union are currently discussing changes to the school year, and this will mean rationalizing the use of infrastructure and hence new investment by local authorities, who are responsible for the sports facilities attached to schools.
3.14.1 Regionsudvalget konstaterer med tilfredshed, at Rådet på samlingen i Wien den 11.-12. december 1998 påpegede behovet for at optrappe kampen mod doping, idet det navnlig opfordrede medlemsstaterne, Kommissionen og de internationale sportsorganisationer til at forbedre koordinationen af eksisterende nationale foranstaltninger.
3.14.1 The COR notes with satisfaction that, at its meeting in Vienna on 11 and 12 December 1998, the European Council emphasised the need to intensify the fight against doping and invited the Member States, the Commission and international sports bodies to look in particular at better coordination of existing national measures.
3.14.2 Regionsudvalget insisterer på, at det er nødvendigt at koordinere og harmonisere de nationale foranstaltninger, hvis forebyggelse, forskning og sanktioner skal være effektive, eftersom det drejer sig om et problem, der går på tværs af nationalgrænserne.
3.14.2 The COR would stress that national measures need to be coordinated and harmonised if prevention, investigations and sanctions are to be effective, since this is a problem which goes beyond national frontiers.
Det støtter derfor Europa-Parlamentets opfordring til Kommissionen om at fremlægge forslag til indførelse af en ensartet sundhedspolitik med henblik på at komme doping til livs (beslutning af 17. december 1998).
The COR therefore supports the European Parliament's call for the Commission to submit proposals for a harmonised public health policy to combat doping (Resolution of 17 December 1998).
3.14.3 Regionsudvalget insisterer ikke mindst på, at der må opstilles en fælles EU-liste over ulovlige stoffer for at undgå en absurd situation, hvor visse stoffer er tilladte i nogle medlemsstater og forbudte i andre.
3.14.3 The COR would draw particular attention to the need to compile a common list of substances which are banned in the EU, to avoid an abnormal situation in which substances are permitted in some Member States and banned in others.
3.14.4 Regionsudvalget noterer sig forslaget om at oprette et internationalt antidoping-center, som blev præsenteret på IOC's verdenskonference i Lausanne i februar 1999.
3.14.4 The COR notes the proposal to set up an international anti-doping agency recently tabled by the IOC at its World Conference in Lausanne in February 1999.
Efter Regionsudvalgets mening skal et sådan center være uafhængigt og varetage kontrollen med overholdelsen af minimumsnormer for tilsyn og sanktioner.
The Committee believes such an agency should be independent and should be responsible for verifying compliance with minimum standards for checks and sanctions.
3.14.5 Regionsudvalget noterer sig med tilfredshed konklusionerne fra EU-spcrtsministrenes uformelle møde i Paderborn den 31. maj - 2. juni 1999, hvori det hedder, at forløbet af IOC's internationale konference om doping i Lausanne viste, hvor vigtigt det var for Den
3.14.5 The COR notes with satisfaction the conclusions of the informal meeting of Sports Ministers of the EU in Paderborn, on 31 May-2 June 1999, which stressed that the course of the IOC World Conference on Doping in Lausanne demonstrated the importance and interest for Europe to speak with one voice on the establishment of an Anti-Doping Agency and endorsed coordination with the Council of Europe on this matter.
3.14.6 Regionsudvalget konstaterer, at doping også forekommer blandt helt unge (nogle gange ned til 12 år), og det tilskynder til en særlig indsats for at beskytte de unge mod en sådan praksis.
3.14.6 The COR notes that very young athletes can be involved in doping (sometimes as young as 12) and advocates paying particular attention to protecting young people against this practice.
Det kan derfor fuldt ud tilslutte sig Europa-Parlamentets henstilling om, at EU skal støtte oplysnings- og uddannelseskampagner i skolemiljøer, klubber og ungdomsorganisationer.
It also backs the European Parliament's call for EU support for education and awareness campaigns, particularly in schools, youth clubs and youth organisations.
3.14.7 Regionsudvalget mener i den forbindelse, at man må modsætte sig tendenserne i retning af en hæmningsløs kommercialisering af sporten såvel som det fordrejede billede, som offentligheden får af sporten gennem medierne. Falske præstationer udført under indtagelse af doping kan føre til, at ægte sportslige værdier går tabt.
3.14.7 In this context the Committee notes the need to oppose the trend towards the unbridled commercialisation of sport and distortion of the public image of sport in the media, which can lead to the destruction of purely sporting values as a result of drug-enhanced performance.
4.1 Sport er en del af europæernes hverdag.
4.1 Sport is an everyday fact of life for Europeans.
Over 100 mio. europæiske borgere dyrker en eller anden form for sport i en af de mange tusinde sportsklubber, foreninger og forbund.
More than 100 million Europeans practice a sport and there are thousands of sports clubs as well as many associations and federations.
Sport er desuden et instrument for "borgernes Europa", som mere end noget andet er med til at skabe identitet, og som takket være sit potentiale, hvad angår formidling, sundhed og integration, er en social og kulturel faktor, hvis betydning for borgernes liv i de europæiske kommuner og regioner og for hele den europæiske integrationsproces stadig flere får øjnene op for og anerkender.
From the point of view of a citizens' Europe, sport has more to contribute than any other measure to the formation of personal identity; because of what it can achieve in terms of education, health and social integration it represents a cultural and social phenomenon which is increasingly coming to be recognised as an important factor both in the lives of people in Europe's regional and local authority areas and for the whole process of European integration.
4.2 En EU-politik på sportsområdet bør have til formål gennem EU-lovgivning at indføre og udvikle rammebetingelser for sporten, som sætter denne i stand til at varetage sine vigtige sociale funktioner i regioner og kommuner og til at udvikle sig under fuld hensyntagen til subsidiaritetsprincippet, de nationale, regionale og kommunale myndigheders beføjelser og sportsorganisationernes uafhængighed.
4.2 The aim of a European Union sports policy should therefore be to introduce and develop, by suitable changes to European legislation, a framework of conditions which will enable sport in European regional and local authority areas to fulfil its socially valuable tasks and which will promote its development, with due regard to the principle of subsidiarity and the responsibilities of national, regional and local authorities, as well as the independence of sports organisations.
Regionsudvalget glæder sig over, at EU's sportsministre på deres uformelle møde i Paderborn den 31. maj-2. juni 1999 opfordrede Kommissionen til at nedsætte en arbejdsgruppe, der skal udarbejde forslag til, hvordan der kan tages hensyn til sporten i EU-traktaten.
The COR welcomes the invitation put forward at the informal meeting of sports ministers of the European Union in Paderborn on 31 May - 2 June 1999, which called on the European Commission to set up a working group to work out how the concerns of sport can be taken into account in the EU Treaty.
Det er således altafgørende, at subsidiaritetsprincippet respekteres, idet de lokale og regionale myndigheder spiller en vigtig rolle, når det gælder den sociale integration.
The subsidiarity principle is in fact vital here since local and regional authorities play a key role in social integration.
Sporten er et af de midler, de i denne forbindelse kan gøre brug af.
Against this background, these authorities are in a position to use sport as a means of promoting integration.
Det er derfor nødvendigt at give dem et bredt spillerum, samtidig med at der på EU-plan fastlægges en overordnet sportspolitik.
They should therefore be allowed sufficient freedom of action to achieve this, in addition to the establishment of a global European Union sports policy.
4.3 Regionsudvalget noterer sig med tilfredshed konklusionerne fra den første EU-konference om sport, der afholdtes den 20.-23. maj 1999 i Olympia.
4.3 The COR notes with satisfaction the conclusions of the 1st EU Conference on Sport, on 20-23 May 1999 in Olympia, which highlighted the conviction that European Sport as diverse as it may be, has common characteristics that need to be preserved from possible commercial distortions.
Heri hedder det bl.a., at man er overbevist om, at sportsudøvelse i Europa på trods af dens uensartede karakter også har mange fællestræk, som bør beskyttes mod kommercielle fordrejninger.
It was stressed that democracy and solidarity, the two principles defining European sport, need to be preserved and that sport should be able to fit into the new commercial framework in which it has to evolve without losing its identity or autonomy, upon which its social dimension rests.
Man betonede endvidere, at demokrati og solidaritet fortsat skal være de to principper, som kendetegner europæisk sport.
The COR considers that a European policy for sport should be developed with greater emphasis on the vital cultural and socio-economic role of sport in Europe.
