Introduction 1.1 Sport and the European Union Sport is an important part of the European legacy. The origins of sport and the Olympic movement lie in Europe. Large proportions of European citizens participate in sport or are physically active. One of the distinctive characteristics of European sport is the fact that it is largely embedded within a network of sport clubs and federations, which organise competitions at all levels and are linked to one another through systems of promotion and relegation. Europe is, moreover, as the European Commission puts it, ‘the powerhouse of world sport’.1 It has been the host of more than half of all of the Olympic Games and World Cup Football Championships. European nations also dominate elite sports. At the end of the Athens Olympics, nine member states of the European Union found themselves in the top 20 of Olympic medal winners. Collectively they won some 286 medals, which is indeed more medals than all those of China, Russia and the United States combined. In the past, the European Union has not involved itself with this sport movement to any great degree. The world of sport has always been seen as an autonomous field in which the EU should, in principle, not exert its direct influence. Sports organisations have had the authority to manage their own affairs within the confines of national legislation and European treaties. Furthermore, no legal basis for the direct intervention of the EU in the area of sport has ever been established.2 However, the increasing commercialisation and professionalisation of sport throughout the past decades has led to greater EU involvement in its development.3 Since sport has developed as an economic activity, it has been subject to the rules of the European Union Treaty, just like any other economic sector. The Bosman ruling is the most well-known example of this influence. In addition, the sport sector has fallen within the realm of EU general regulations with regard to, for instance, the issues of broadcasting rights, access to sporting events on television and a common anti-doping policy.4 When applying such rules, the EU has declared that the specific nature of sport will be taken into account, but sports organisations have no longer been afforded the exceptional status that they have demanded and had been given in this area up until this point. This development raised considerable concerns. On the one hand, sports organisations feared that the expansion of EU involvement and authority in the field of sport might threaten 1 European Commission 1998a. Virtually every branch of sport has a European sport federation and European championship.

  • April 2021 MESSAGE from the EOC ACTING PRESIDENT Dear Colleagues
    EOC NEWSLETTER No. 211 April 2021 MESSAGE FROM THE EOC ACTING PRESIDENT Dear colleagues, With the countdown clock to Tokyo 2020 now at well under 100 days to go, this summer’s Olympic Games are quickly approaching. As the National Olympic Committees of Europe and our athletes put the final touches on preparations, the latest Playbooks from the International Olympic Committee have given us valuable insight into what this special edition of the Olympic Games will be like. They will unquestionably be different from what we have been used to, and it is clear that each Olympic stakeholder will have to exercise a great deal of flexibility and patience to make these a safe and successful Games for everyone involved. But I remain convinced that we will pull it off as long as we remain united in our purpose – to ultimately provide, through sport, a little hope and encouragement to the world after such a trying and tragic period for humanity. Looking slightly further ahead, the European Olympic Committees continues to make real progress with regard to the European Games Krakow-Malopolska 2023. Last week the EOC Coordination Commission for the Games gathered in Antalya, Turkey for meetings with a range of important stakeholders, including potential partners, who will help us deliver the best edition of our continental Games yet. More information will be communicated to you on this subject in due course. Unfortunately, as you will all know, the Vuokatti Winter EYOF was recently postponed to March 2022, but I think everyone will understand that it was the only choice and will provide the local organisers more time to prepare the festival in the best way.

European sports policies of the past decade are characterised by numerous activities and by on-going differentiation. Against this backdrop, the study presents policy options in four key areas: the first covers the need for stronger coordination; the second aims at the setting of thematic priorities; the third addresses the reinforcement of the role of the EP in sport and the fourth stipulates enhanced monitoring.

  • Appendix C – an Historical Background of Falconry (With Assistance from Kim Mauch, California Hawking Club)
    Appendix C – An Historical Background of Falconry (with assistance from Kim Mauch, California Hawking Club) THE ORIGINS OF FALCONRY Although its exact origins remain unknown, it is believed that falconry began in Mongolia, where it was commonly practiced over 3,000 years ago. It achieved a high level of refinement on the military campaigns of the Great Khans who practiced falconry for food and for sport between battles. By the time of Marco Polo there were over 60 officials managing over 5,000 trappers and more than 10,000 falconers and falconry workers. Falconry was later combined with legal and military affairs, diplomacy and land colonization and spread into new lands as a result. FALCONRY IN ASIA Falconry spread throughout Asia, reaching China by 700 B.C. and Korea by 220 B.C. It remained common in China until the early 1900‟s when the imperial family was overthrown. In 1989 the Chinese Wildlife Conservation Act was enacted, which prohibited hunting and trapping and was designed to protect rare species such as the panda and tiger. Falconry was then prohibited because the Act did not take into account falconry heritage and traditions of smaller isolated ethnic groups that still practiced falconry at the time. Japan‟s isolation by the sea meant that the natural advance of falconry did not arrive until 355 A.D. when hawks were imported from Korea. Imperial falconers existed under the Imperial Household Ministry until the Second World War, after which time falconry became open to the public by a system of apprenticeships to retired imperial falconers who opened up “Schools of Falconry”.

This book was created in a close collaboration of 18 European partner universities involved in this international project. I would like to express my special thanks to all the colleagues that have worked very hard in the last 2 years to produce this practical guide on inclusion in physical activity, sport and leisure. I thank all the organisations that have shared their experiences on the implementation of inclusive physical activity with us. With their help, we have created a DVD with illustrations of examples of good practice, that will most certainly motivate our readers to give inclusion a go and set up inclusive physical activity in their personal setting.
