Summary:

The commercialization of sport in Europe raises important questions concerning the most appropriate method of regulating sporting activity. The development of the European Union and the internationalization of sporting competition has added an international dimension to this debate. Yet sport is not only a business, it is a social and cultural activity. Can regulation at the EU level reconcile this tension?
