The European Commission is determined to do "all it can" to help sports bodies and law enforcement agencies to tackle the scourge of match-fixing and corruption in sport, European Commissioner Androulla Vassiliou told the European Parliament in Strasbourg on 14 March. Vassiliou, who is responsible for education, culture, multilingualism, youth and sport, said the Commission is helping to lead a comprehensive response to the challenge in coordination with sports governing bodies, Europol, the EU's law enforcement agency, Eurojust, which is responsible for judicial cooperation between national prosecutors, the Council of Europe and UNESCO. The Commission is also financing five major projects to raise awareness about the problem within both the sports movement and the public. |
