3 According to the Revised version document on the Single Points of Contact issued by the Group of Copenhagen on 21 February 2020 Mr Costas V. Salomou is nominated as part of fully official National Platforms under Article 13 of the Convention or National National Platforms having a specific legal status defined by law, by decision of the national institutions, or by formal agreement between national stakeholders before the ratification of the Macolin Convention. However, there is no updated information on the national fact sheets, as the last version was issued in September 207.

4 The IntegriSport Erasums + is an EU project which was conceived as a response to limited in-depth knowledge about sports manipulations of national law enforcement authorities and judicial sectors. In that way, IntegriSport Erasmus+ has served as a vehicle to raise awareness, increase cooperation, and provide support to law enforcement and judicial authorities in their fight against, not only sport manipulation, but also other related criminal activities which negatively impact sport, such as corruption, fraud, money laundering and conspiracy, among others. It ended in March 2021. More information here.

5 This second version of the project also has the full support of the European Commission, consolidating itself as an important platform for raising awareness about the damages of sports manipulation (#matchfixing). This is achieved through the consolidation of a comprehensive awareness raising program and operational support to law enforcement agencies (LEA) and judicial authorities (JA) in Europe to face this phenomenon under the same collective.
