23/06/2022 | 19:47:00 Thank you, Madam President. Dear Colleagues, Politics is dependent on communication. Today this is mainly, as we know, online. Moreover democracy is dependent on free access to quality, reliable, unbiased information. Therefore, as has been frequently said today, we have to control the threat from a number of internet participants who seek to unwind the flow of information online. As the report by Mr Frédéric REISS correctly highlights, the key issue here is not the huge economic and... 15/03/2022 | 11:37:16 Madam President, I will briefly connect three points.

Dear colleagues, This excellent report by Mr Carlos Alberto GONÇALVES emphasises how important sport and physical activity are to the good health of people of all ages, as well as for bringing them together in their local and national communities, as the rapporteur in his reference to solidarity has just emphasised. Clearly sports and being physically active benefit everyone. Both should be encouraged by all those in a position to do so, whether they be... 26/01/2022 | 11:43:22 Well, thank you, Mr President. Dear colleagues, when in 2011 the Committee on Culture, Science, Education and Media first discussed good governance and ethics in sport, many considered that to be a waste of time. However, majority opinion is now completely different, for over the last ten years dealing with sport in this context has proved to be very necessary.
