MEPs agree with the Commission that most challenges can be addressed though self regulation 4 provided that EU law is complied with, and believe that a structured partnership and dialogue between the Commission and sports movements is essential for good governance of sport, in order to avoid legal uncertainty and to respect the autonomy of the sports organisations.
Vienlaikus deputāti piekrīt Eiropas Komisijai, ka vairumu jautājumu sportā iespējams atrisināt pašpārvaldes ceļā, ļaujot Komisijai "veicināt un papildināt — bet ne reglamentēt — dalībvalstu un sporta organizāciju darbību".
