MEPs back Year of Education through Sport

Euro-MPs have backed a move to make 2004 the European Year of Educationthrough Sport. All the speakers in a brief debate urged that the campaign shouldfocus on tangible action, rather than studies and reports. The EuropeanCommission will provide e11.5 million towards the project. But Viviane Reding,the European Commissioner responsible for education and training, said a numberof big European sport federations had already asked to take part and they wouldcontribute much towards organizing the campaign.
