European Parliament
Nikolaos Salavrakos  (EFD ),
in writing.
(EL)
I voted in favour of the rapporteur’s report because I consider sport to be an important activity with benefits for society, health and the economy. That is why I believe that promoting sport is crucial and that the EU should take action to help attain this objective and to develop its European dimension. Furthermore, I believe that the Commission communication and the actions proposed seek, among other things, to promote sport and the provision of assistance to develop it. Finally, I believe that these proposals will make a positive contribution, resulting in greater attention being paid to issues that constitute a threat to sport, such as doping and violence (as evidenced by various episodes at football grounds).
