What is the White Paper on Sport?
As the importance of the sports sector in the European Union continues to increase, a need has arisen for a more coherent approach to sport at the EU level. For that reason, the Commission adopted a White Paper on Sport on 11 July 2007.The White Paper will also serve to prepare the implementation of the provisions on sport in the Lisbon Treaty if the Treaty is ratified by all Member States and enters into force. The White Paper on Sport and the accompanying documents are entirely downloadable here. To order hard copies of the White Paper or other sport related publications go to ‘Library section E Catalogue of Publications’.
