Europe must act to ensure that the 'essence' of football is not hijacked by 'fraudulent practices and obscure investors' according to a report Members of the European Parliament considered in their March 2007 Plenary session. It says that football cannot operate under the usual rules of market competition as football clubs need rivals of a similar level to offer fans exciting games. The role that sport in general can play in education was discussed at a Hearing in the European Parliament's Culture Committee on 28 February 2007.
