European Union and Sport

The European Union and Sport: Legal and Policy Documents features in the T.M.C. Asser Institute series of collections of documents on international sports law and contains material on the intergovernmental (interstate) element of international sports law. The legal and policy texts in the book are arranged in thematical, alphabetical order and are chronologically subordered by theme. They cover the period since the Walrave judgement in 1974 when the European Court of Justice established that sport is subject to Community law to the extent that it constitutes an economic activity. The book gives a detailed insight into what could be called the 'EU Sport Acquis' for the present and future (candidate) Member States. This acquis has been developed over the years in numerous decisions and policy documents by the Council, Commission, the European Parliament and the Court of Justice.
