• “Implementing measures on equality, diversity and inclusion, particularly to address underrepresentation in leadership positions at gender balance. These issues align well with the Commission's commitment, illustrated by the ongoing cooperation with Member States, for example, on the Open Method of Coordination Group addressing athletes rights and working conditions, as well as with recent discussions held at the Sport Council debate last week. So overall, the Commission warmly welcomes and thanks the Parliament for this draft report. This report will prove to be very useful in the context of commission work to promote and strengthen the European sport model in the next months, giving also possible indications to define the way forward that the Commission will will propose. So in the overall, as regards the recommendations suggested in this report that require action at commission level, we thank the report, the Parliament, for putting forward interesting proposals. And we also would like to inform that there is already ongoing some technical assessments to analyse the possibilities for implementation. Thank you.”
