Francos receives Pierre-Yves Jeholet, 'leader' of sports matters in the EU Council in 2024

MADRID, 12 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The president of the Higher Sports Council (CSD), Víctor Francos, received this Tuesday at the organization's headquarters in Madrid the minister president of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, Pierre-Yves Jeholet, and who will lead the matter in the first half of 2024 sports in the Council of the European Union coinciding with the Belgian Presidency, according to a statement.

A responsibility that has fallen to Spain in recent months, which is why Francos, who has just presided over the Council of Sports Ministers in Brussels that unanimously approved a document of conclusions on gender equality, addressed with Jeholet the European future in sports matter.

This issue, together with the creation of safe environments in sport and the fight against hate speech, were received in a “very positive” manner by the member countries of the European Union, according to the CSD. “Pierre-Yves Jeholet, in fact, highlighted this Tuesday the appropriateness of his choice,” celebrated the Spanish organization.

And in the first half of 2024, Belgium will develop work proposals linked to innovation and digitalization in sport, as stated by the minister-president of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation in his meeting with Francos this Tuesday, also with the presence of Belgian ambassador to Spain, Gerard Cockx.

“It has been a true honor to receive Pierre-Yves Jeholet and Gerard Cockx at the CSD headquarters and to talk with them about the main conclusions that we can draw from the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union. We are proud to have been able to share with the member countries three topics of great interest to our citizens,” said Víctor Francos.

According to the president of the CSD, the meeting of general directors of Sports and the conference on safe environments in sports, held on September 21 and 22 in Valencia; the international conference on gender equality in sport, organized on November 14 and 15 in Madrid; and the Council of Sports Ministers of the European Union on November 24 in Brussels allowed “to see progress in all these matters”, although “there is still a lot of progress to be made.”

“What is relevant is that the member countries are willing to continue deepening through dialogue the social function of sport, its economic dimension and the political framework of this sector, which are the three axes on which the actions of the organization pivot. European Union since the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon in 2009,” stated Francos.
