EU Sport Forum, 26-27 November 2008 in Biarritz, France

As foreseen in the White Paper on Sport, the EU Sport Forum is a key annual event in the framework of the structured dialogue on sport at EU level.

This year's event was organised in several thematic sessions linked to the implementation of the White Paper on Sport, of which two sessions took the form of high-level panel debates. The choice of the topics – the financing of sport, the specificity of sport, social dialogue in sport and education & training – corresponded with the political agenda as well as preferences expressed by European sport stakeholders within the EU structured dialogue on sport.

An active exchange of views with representatives from a variety of sport and sport-related organisations during these two days contributed to ensuring the success of the event and has helped the Commission to identify future priorities for EU-level debates on sport.
