	3rd EUROPEAN CONFERENCE OF WOMEN ON SPORT
		Sport is not in itself Community policy, such as agricultural policy or social policy etc. However, the European Union supports activities that are directly or indirectly related to sports.
		Sport in the European Union is both a major activity in our leisure time, and a significant economic activity which creates jobs.
		The Union needs to be aware of the concerns and opinions of people in sports as it drafts community laws; while sports authorities must be kept well informed of developments in the Union that will affect their activities.

		The key issue is whether sport in general should be allowed almost a separate existence in which clubs and national associations are not subject to the same laws as the rest of commerce, or whether organisations like Uefa should be brought into line with the principles of the Treaty of Rome.
		It is calling for political interference by the European Union to be magnified a thousand-fold, and it would give the European Commission the powers to change football utterly.
		Uefa has seized upon the recent Independent European Sport Review as a major weapon in the fight against Manders and Co. Led by former Portuguese deputy prime minister José Lois Arnaut, the authors of the 178-page review say they are "totally against a blind and insensitive application of EU law to sport".

		Social capital is a key component of understanding the relationship between European sport governing bodies and civil society.
		However, researching social capital in the context of sport governance today requires bringing together two categories of academic literature since, in practice, social capital is often revealed in the field of sport management in complex ways that are both local and universal yet are rarely named or acknowledged as ‘social capital’.
