24 Sep 2012 - A joint declaration aimed at addressing the scourge of match-fixing was adopted today in Lefkosia (Nicosia) at the EU Sports Forum by the Cyprus Presidency, the European Commission and the participants of the Forum.
The declaration builds on the Conclusions adopted by sports ministers during the November 2011 Council meeting under the Polish Presidency and constitutes the culmination of a cooperation effort between the Cyprus Presidency and the European Commission with the EU Sports Forum delegate.
The result of the deliberations between the Cyprus Presidency, the Commission and the participants of the EU Sports Forum is a five-point declaration on the fight against match-fixing. The declaration stresses that addressing the issue of match-fixing “necessitates effective and sustained action”, outlining the five key areas for which initiatives should be developed. The five areas are:
• Education, Prevention and Good Governance
• Monitoring
• Sanctions
• Cooperation
• International coordination
