2014/C 183/03

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE MEMBER STATES,

I.   INTRODUCTION

1.

RECALL the competence assigned to the European Union, in particular by Article 6 and Article 165 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, according to which sport is an area where action at EU level should support, coordinate and supplement the actions of Member States.

2.

RECALL the Resolution of the Council and of the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, on a European Work Plan for Sport for 2011–2014 (1).

3.

WELCOME the Report from the Commission on the implementation of the European Union Work Plan for Sport 2011–2014 (2).

4.

ACKNOWLEDGE that sport can contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.

5.

RECALL the Council Resolution of 18 November 2010 where the Council agreed to convene, on a regular basis, generally in the margins of the Council meeting, an informal meeting of leading representatives of the EU public authorities and the sport movement with the aim of exchanging views on sporting issues in the EU (3).

6.

AGREE to further develop a framework of European cooperation in the field of sport by establishing a second three year EU Work Plan on Sport for Member State and Commission action.

7.

AGREE that activities at EU level in the field of sport should focus on the priority themes, key topics, outputs and working methods and structures listed in this Work Plan, and as set out in Annex I.

8.

TAKE NOTE of the 2013 Eurobarometer on Sport and Physical Activity and acknowledge the great differences among Member States, including results on voluntary work and sedentary behaviour.

II.   DEVELOPING FURTHER THE EUROPEAN DIMENSION IN SPORT BY ESTABLISHING AN EU WORK PLAN

9.

CONSIDER that a three year EU Work Plan on Sport should be governed by the following guiding principles:

—

to promote a cooperative and concerted approach among Member States and the Commission to delivering added value in the field of sport at EU level over the longer term;

—

to address transnational challenges using a coordinated EU approach;

—

to take into account the specific nature of sport;

—

to reflect the need for mainstreaming sport into other EU policies;

—

to work towards evidence based sport policy;

—

to contribute to the overarching priorities of the EU economic and social policy agenda, in particular the Europe 2020 Strategy;

—

to build on the achievements of the first EU Work Plan for Sport;

—

to complement and reinforce the impact of activities launched under the Erasmus+ programme in the field of sport.

10.

UNDERLINE that this EU Work Plan should be a flexible framework which is capable of responding when appropriate to developments in the field of sport.

11.

AGREE that the following themes and key topics should be given priority by Member States and the Commission for the period covered by the present Work Plan. They could be complemented by each Presidency in the light of any possible new developments:

1)

Integrity of sport, in particular anti-doping, the fight against match-fixing, protection of minors, good governance and gender equality;

2)

The economic dimension of sport, in particular sustainable financing of sport, the legacy of major sport events, economic benefits of sport and innovation;

3)

Sport and society, in particular HEPA, volunteering, employment in sport as well as education and training in sport.

12.

AGREE that the Work Plan may be revised by the Council and the Representatives of Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council in the light of results achieved and policy developments at EU level.

III.   WORKING METHODS AND STRUCTURES

13.

RECOGNISE that:

There is a need to continue the cooperation on sport in the EU context established after the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, based on the guiding principles listed in Section II of this Work Plan;

There is also a need for the EU to work closely with the sport movement and relevant competent organisations at national, European and international levels such as the Council of Europe and WADA, in particular through the structured dialogue.

14.

AGREE that

Different working structures and methods should be established for the follow‐up of achievements from the first EU Work Plan and for developing new outputs in line with the priority themes and key topics, as set out in Section II above;

Therefore, five „Expert Groups“, with experts appointed by the Member States, will be set up covering the following topics: match-fixing, good governance, economic dimension, HEPA and human resources development in sport . The principles relating to membership and functioning of these groups are set out in the Annex II;

In addition to expert groups, other structures and working methods may include e.g. Presidency conferences, meetings of Sport Ministers and Directors, Commission studies and conferences, as well as pledge boards (4).

In the first half of 2017, the implementation of the present Work Plan will be evaluated by the Council on the basis of a report prepared by the Commission by November 2016.

IV.   FURTHER STEPS

15.

INVITE THE MEMBER STATES TO:

—

regularly inform, and where appropriate consult, sport stakeholders on progress made in implementing the EU Work Plan, in order to ensure the relevance and visibility of the activities.

16.

—

at the end of the three years covered by the present Resolution, and on the basis of a Report prepared by the Commission, propose a new Work Plan for the next period, if appropriate.

17.

INVITE THE COMMISSION TO:

—

work with the Member States in implementing this Work Plan, in particular regarding the outputs outlined in Annex I;

—

inform the Member States on ongoing or planned initiatives in other EU policy areas impacting on sport and respective developments in the Commission;

—

support the Member States and other relevant actors in cooperating within the framework set out in the present Resolution, in particular by:

examining means to facilitate the widest possible participation of Member States and experts, as well as invite representatives from the sport movement and other stakeholders in the working structures referred to in Annex I, assuring a high and coherent level of representativeness;

—

establishing, as appropriate, groups of experts providing a high level of relevant expertise, as well as other forms of support for promoting exchange of views and peer learning as well as for building knowledge (e.g. studies);

—

facilitate the structured dialogue on sport, including the organisation on an annual basis of the EU Sport Forum, bringing together all the key stakeholders at different levels of sport;

—

use the financial resources of the Erasmus+ programme and other relevant EU programmes to support the priority themes and corresponding key topics established by this Work Plan;

—

adopt, by November 2016 and on the basis of voluntary contributions from Member States, a Report on the implementation and relevance of the Work Plan. This Report will be the basis for the preparation of a possible EU Work Plan during the first half of 2017;

—

where appropriate, make the outputs achieved in the working structures publicly available.

18.

—

continue close cooperation in accordance with Annexes I and II of this Resolution;

—

take sport into account when formulating, implementing and evaluating policies and actions in other policy fields, with particular attention to ensuring early and effective inclusion in the policy development process;

—

promote better recognition of the contribution of sport to the overall goals of the Europe 2020 Strategy given the sector's strong potential to contribute to smart, sustainable and inclusive growth and new jobs and considering its positive effects on social inclusion, education and training as well as public health and active ageing;

—

foster cooperation with third countries, in particular candidate countries and potential candidates to the EU, and the competent international organisations in the field of sport including the Council of Europe.
