The Councillor for Culture, Participation and Sport, Fanny Tur, has claimed this Tuesday at the Conference of Sports Ministers of the Council of Europe, held in Brussels, the need to improve the exchange of information in the European Union (EU) for the organization of sporting events.

Tur has expressed itself as a representative of the common position of all autonomous communities in the field of sport and that during this semester the Ministry of Culture, Participation and Sports exerts the coordination of all communities. In her speech, which has made in Catalan, the Councillor has spoken on "how to improve the exchange of information between Member States of the European Union in terms of organizing major sporting events. According to him, "a great sporting event generates great benefits in different fields, however this only happens when the environment is really planned and managed in parallel with the competitions".

"The exchange of knowledge is necessary in order to achieve a common objective, the organisation of sporting events. The experience of other countries is a great contribution for the organizing countries," said the councillor. Tur has advocated "an action plan that would gather the different experiences of the member states and a network to channel the available information. Current technologies make it possible to access information from anywhere". In this sense, Tur proposes "to create a work team for the unification of criteria, concepts, principles and methodology with a sense of innovation and above all taking into account the peculiarities of the states, regions and sporting events to be held". The Councillor concluded her speech by saying that "the celebration of a great sporting event influences multiple sectors such as sports, culture, economics, tourism and urban planning". "For this reason, there must be inter-institutional and intersectoral coordination that allows the creation of support networks at the local, regional, national and international levels", he stressed.
