  • Esto Report Development of Rugby and Synthetic Turf in France Introduction
    ESTO REPORT DEVELOPMENT OF RUGBY AND SYNTHETIC TURF IN FRANCE INTRODUCTION The development of “new generation” synthetic pitches is not something new in France; it has been going on since 2001. Today in France there are about 1800 synthetic pitches, which represents only 4% of all pitches in France. Although the development of synthetic pitches is continuously on the rise in France, it has to be recognized that they are more expensive to build than grass pitches, although they require a lot less maintenance. Another advantage is that they offer longer hours of utilization, as grass pitches are difficult to use when the ground is frozen or when they are waterlogged due to heavy rainfall periods. Moreover they also need “resting time”, which decreases even further the length of time during which they can be used. The development of “new generation” synthetic Concept for Football Turf and ensure that there is pitches is not something new in France; it has been continuous improvement as artificial turf develops. going on since 2001.

  • Study on Sports Agents in the European Union
    STUDY ON SPORTS AGENTS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION A study commissioned by the European Commission (Directorate-General for Education and Culture) November 2009 KEA – CDES – EOSE: Study on sports agents in the European Union 2 KEA – CDES – EOSE: Study on sports agents in the European Union EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I. Overview of the study In March 2007, the European Parliament invited the European Commission to assist football bodies and organisations in improving the regulations governing sports agents 1. In July 2007, the European Commission indicated in its White Paper on Sport 2 that it would “ carry out an impact assessment to provide a clear overview of the activities of players’ agents in the EU and an evaluation of whether action at EU level is necessary, which will also analyse the different possible options ”. The European Commission’s terms of reference for this study confirm that the European Commission “ wants to have an analysis of the situation regarding sports agents in all the sports they deal with”. The aim of the study is therefore to examine the situation of sports agents in the European Union and to identify, analyse and describe the questions that their activities give rise to as well as the solutions that have already been provided by public and/or private actors, thus enabling the European Commission to assess – on the basis of the data collected, the problems identified and the analyses carried out – whether intervention is required and, if so, at what level and in what form. The study develops, for the first time, a European outlook on the issue of sports agents.
