This 9 months contract follows the publication of a prior information notice on 26 March 2008 (OJ/S 2008/S 59-079210) and of the contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union on 26 July 2008. Further information such as the official Terms of References can be found here.

The general objectives of that project is to chart the situation regarding sport agents in the European Union, to identify, analyse and describe the problems posed by their activities and to identify and analyse the solutions provided by public and/or private stakeholders, so that the European Commission can assess whether intervention is required, and if so, at what level and in what form. The study shall cover the 27 Member States and all the sports.

We can summarise the key specific objectives of the contract are as follows:

To chart the current situation regarding sports agents in the European Union.
  1. To identify, analyse and describe the problems posed by sports agents' activities.
     
  2. To identify the public and private stakeholders involved in regulating the activities of sports agents in the European Union.
     
  3. To identify the laws and regulations, whether public or private, applying to sports agents in the European Union.
     
  4. To assess the degree to which these laws and regulations, whether public or private, offer an adequate response to the problems posed by the activities of sports agents.

    The main results to be delivered through the study are:
  • Result 1: A detailed document charting the situation at EU level regarding sports agents, in terms of the sports they are involved in, their legal situation (and the legal situation of other professions engaged in these activities), the volume of their economic activity, and their numbers.
     
  • Result 2: A detailed and analytical description of the problems identified in connection with sports agents' activities.
