| dc.description.abstract | Due to its growing economic and social impact, sport has gained an important place in European strategies and programmes. Harmonised and comparable statistics are therefore needed to strengthen evidence-based policies in this field. Under the EU Work Plan for Sport 2014–2017 (Council resolution 2014/C 183/03), Eurostat with the European Commission’s Directorate General for Education and Culture (DG EAC), has initiated the regular dissemination of harmonised statistics on sport. | en_US |
