In 1991 E C launched its first European Sport Forum.

EAS calls for help Commissioner Viviane Reding and DG 10, but even with declaration of Amsterdam Treaty and Nice Treaty Commission didn’t the right power.
MLA WG succeeded to have FAI definition as the official definition, recognises by the JAA and the Commission
The project of the “Constitution for Europe” included in its article III-182 : “Union shall contribute to the European sporting issues, while taking account of the specific nature of sport, its structure based on voluntary activity and making its social and educational function …” But France and Netherlands rejected the European Constitution. This was considered as a real check by the sport world

7. The EU & Sport
