  The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union is the EU’s bill of human rights. It contains 50 articles with substantive rights and principles, followed by four articles with general provisions. Member States have a duty to respect the rights and observe the principles of the Charter whenever they are acting within the scope of binding EU law. Where the Charter provisions are sufficiently precise and unconditional, they can have a direct effect at the national level – for instance in national courtrooms. Charter provisions that are ‘principles’ can only be invoked before a court if implemented by legislative or executive acts. Member States have an explicit duty to promote the Charter’s application. This country-sheet supports that effort by giving examples of the Charter’s use and highlighting how it adds value.

  This report presents the results of the Special Eurobarometer public opinion survey on sport and physical activity in the 28 EU Member States. This follows three previous Eurobarometer surveys on sport and physical activity, conducted in 2002, 2009 and 2013. In 2007, the White Paper on Sport was issued by the European Commission as the first policy document addressing sport on behalf of the European Union. The Lisbon Treaty, in force since December 2009, introduced a specific article, namely Article 165 TFEU, which gave the EU a new supporting competence for sport. This article entails provisions for promoting European sporting issues and calls for EU action to develop the European dimension in sport. In 2011, the Commission adopted a Communication entitled "Developing the European Dimension in Sport" providing for specific actions regarding the societal role of sport, the economic dimension of sport and the organisation of sport. Based on this Communication, the Council adopted a Resolution on an EU Work Plan for Sport 2011-2014, which further strengthened European cooperation on sport by setting priorities for EU-level work engaging the EU Member States and the Commission. To implement the Work Plan, work at the expert level inter alia focused on providing input to the questionnaire of the present Special Eurobarometer survey. In 2012, the Council adopted conclusions on promoting health-enhancing physical activity and on strengthening the evidencebase for sport policymaking, both calling on the Commission to issue regular surveys on sport and physical activity. Following a proposal from the Commission, financial support for sport is now included in the form of a specific chapter in Erasmus+, the EU programme for education, training, youth and sport for the period 2014-2020. This Special Eurobarometer survey will contribute to providing some of the data to support the developing policy framework for promoting sport and physical activity, as described above. Moreover, it will allow policymakers, researchers and other interested parties to deliver trend analysis on various matters compared to previous years.
