Message Photos: uefa-pjwoods.ch of the president Good news from Europe The relationship between UEFA and the European Union (EU), or European Community (EC) as it used to be known, was not established on the best of foundations. European football’s governing body was seen as arrogant and accused of seeking to bypass EC legislation because of the specific nature of sport, a notion that was not obvious to those outside the game, not least because of the mixed messages from those inside, with the clubs, leagues, national associa- tions and players all expressing different opinions. UEFA, on the other hand, was irked by the ever growing interference of the European institutions in matters that football was used to governing itself, in accordance with long-established principles. It also bemoaned the fact that sport was generally treated like just any other economic activity, despite the game’s professional tier forming only the apex of a pyramid in which all of the other layers are inextricably linked. This mutual lack of understanding arguably reached its peak in December 1995, when the European Court of Justice issued the ‘Bosman ruling’, which left the transfer fee system in ruins and prohibited all nationality-based restrictions on players from EU member states. IN THIS ISSUE Subsequently, while it never relinquished its convictions, football came to realise that it had nothing to gain from confrontation, and that the way forward XXXIV Ordinary was through dialogue and greater mutual understanding. UEFA Congress in Tel Aviv 03 The EU adopted a similar approach and has since been persuaded not only Finals in Hamburg that football and sport cannot simply be defined by their professional tiers, but that they also possess huge social value and can act as powerful tools for integration. and Madrid 08 The fruits of this much more serene climate are already being seen.

News from member Meanwhile, the European Commission has invited UEFA to contribute associations 16 to the European pavilion at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai, which opens in May. This is a sign of its recognition of the social importance of football and is something of which we can be very proud.
