The Council of Europe's Work on Sport in 1994.
Council of Europe, Strasbourg (France).
This publication contains documents from the official work of the Council on Europe and some of its committees on issues in sport, particularly spectator violence at sporting events, drug use among athletes, and sport and education policy. The first main section contains documents on the establishment of sporting event policies. The first of two parts concerns work on spectator violence, particularly at football (soccer) matches, which contain formal recommendations for measures to be taken by organizers and public authorities for high-risk indoor sports events. The second concerns anti-doping and includes a list of issues discussed at a 1994 meeting, recommendations on standard urine sampling procedures, and measures to restrict the availability of anabolic steroids. The next main section contains the press release from an informal meeting held April 27-29, 1994, of European ministers responsible for sport. The final section provides conclusions from work undertaken and texts approved by the Committee for the Development of Sport at meetings in 1994. These include statements and descriptions from a seminar on sports facilities and efforts to make sports available to all; texts from consultative meetings on sport for Albania and Hungary and a seminar on sports legislation in Malta; position papers on the social significance of sport; and results from a working party on voluntary work.
