As a follow-up to the Action 41 in the "Pierre de Coubertin" Action Plan annexed to the White Paper on Sport, the public contract no. DG EAC/13/08 “Study on Sports Agents in the European Union” was awarded by the Commission to provide a clear overview of the activities of players' agents in the EU and an evaluation of whether action at EU level is necessary.
The study has now been completed. The results of the study, which was carried out by a consortium composed of
KEA European Affairs, the
CDES and
EOSE, are
available in French. The English translation of the study will be published during the first quarter of 2010.
Although they do not constitute the Commission's official position, the Commission considers these results as useful input for future discussions with governmental and non-governmental stakeholders in view of addressing the issues raised by activities of sport agents at EU level.
