European Sport Ministers will meet on Tuesday 29 November in Budapest (Hungary) at a conference organised by the Council of Europe under its Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (EPAS), aimed at more effectively combating doping, promoting implementation of the Convention on match-fixing and fostering good governance in sport.
How should the transparency of anti-doping procedures be improved and the fundamental rights of sports practitioners be protected? How is the independence of the World Anti-Doping Agency to be safeguarded? How can the obstacles encountered by governments in implementing the Convention on the Manipulation of Sports Competitions be overcome? How can governments fight corruption in sport? How can the international sports movement effectively improve its governance and make its efforts more visible?
The Ministers will debate these issues, among others, at the conference which will conclude with a signing ceremony for the Convention on the Manipulation of Sports Competitions and the Convention on an integrated safety, security and service approach at football matches and other sports events, as well as a protocol of agreement between the Council of Europe and the World Anti-Doping Agency.
