I would say that this reflection is vital

Are you satisfied with the 2007 budget

Entirely. It is a budget to continue to act for the implementation of my priorities. Thus, consolidated appropriations EUR 441 million go to the "sport" program, including 230 million for sport for all, 176 million for the high level, 15 million for prevention through sport and the protection of athletes, and 20 million for the promotion of careers in the sport. 136 million are allocated to the program youth and Associational life, budget maintains additional help for difficult sites. This addition 439 million for the pilot and driving support function that identifies the LOLF and which corresponds to the human resources and logistics functions and is therefore, by definition, cross.

In the 176 million dedicated to the sport of high level, 34 million will be spent on the plan of Refoundation of Insep (national Institute of sport and physical education) who enters an operational phase since it encourages the work of the southern part and that it will sign the contract for the northern part, the private partner to be chosen at the end of November. The State held, moreover, its commitments for the construction of large equipment (Aquatic Center of Aubervilliers, velodrome of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, Versailles shooting and boating base of Vaires-sur-Marne), legacy of the Olympic record.

Note that EUR 54 million will be devoted to the conventions of objective with the sports federations.

The fee for the French of the games is increasing

Entirely. This royalty which abounds with NSDC (national Centre for the development of the sport) and the PNDS (national program of development of the sport) was from 1.80 to 2 and is finally 2.23 of levy on the French of the games, i.e. EUR 196 million, which should add EUR 40 million of 5 on the audiovisual rights. I see that the Government's desire to express a sports policy which does not touch the top level, but also sport for all. Then through the removal of the Française des Jeux, it is revenue stability which is neither freezing nor regulation, which also is a sign of mutual trust which is expressed well through the partnership between the Department and the various federations with the sports movement.

The white paper of the CNOSF you satisfied

It is normal that thinking is involved in the CNOSF (national Olympic and sporting Committee French) from the States General of the sport. I would say that this reflection is vital. I further note that a number of recommendations have been fulfilled, as the 2.23 of samples of the Française des Jeux. I agree with the objective that the Committee is set to increase the number of licensees in the clubs. In General, I must tell you that I do see the sport in terms of transmission of value and when it is framed, although I understand those who want the practice outside any structure. In any case, public action, i.e. the means made available by the State and I also think communities, cannot be done only at the service of a community project. Of course, this leads to a number of constraints, including coaching becoming more professional, so paid, forcing clubs to find sources of funding. But this is the condition for that sport brings all that he is ability to provide benchmarks and values, and on this I agree with the reflection undertaken by the CNOSF.

However, I am not in agreement on the creation of a thematic channel on sport financed with a levy on the NSDC is not the vocation. If the sports movement wants to wear a string like this, it must connect an operator, broadcaster, and see through its licensees million if there may be a source of funding able to create this string. What seems to me also essential today in reflection, this is governance. The CNOSF the place on the ground of greater autonomy. This is the credo of the international Olympic Committee and international federations. Yes, independence is necessary. But do not forget that my Department provides annually 4 million euros to the CNOSF to partnership actions. More than autonomy, it must talk about responsibility. This partnership was successful. It should certainly be evolve more involving the private sector who no longer wishes to be limited to the role of sponsor but a player in the sport. In the Act of August 2003, there is this desire to bring the private sector on the boards of federations. Because of this, we saved the ski Federation. However, on this subject, I find that the white paper did not pursue very far reflection.

You have evolved on the rating of the clubs on the stock market

You will agree that the results of the clubs listed are not exorbitant. And, in the light of what happened recently in Italy, including at the Juventus of Turin, where there was direct pressure of the shareholder on the results of the club, it seems prejudicial. From the moment a complaint was filed in Brussels by some French clubs, I had to find an agreement. I think that we have reached and that the agreement is balanced, to the extent it has linked the fundraising to the acquisition of a number of assets as the stage. Once you set this framework, it will be for the MFA to rule on each of the files.

Sport can help young people in the suburbs

A condition: that the provision is of quality. And it realizes the difficulty of properly supervise sports practices in these neighbourhoods. The PNDS and support for the updated national coordination in place at the CNOSF by Christian Bîmes, will recruit 330 students STAPS, to better structure to these youth sports offer. Work is also the NSDC and census of sports equipment for rebalancing a number of territories in dense urban areas or rural areas, and try to make it coherent and homogeneous our network of sports equipment.

Finally, I am always in the logic of giving-giving: a young sport and youth enthusiast who engages in an association has the opportunity to train, to have a tutor and a first professional experience in coaching contracts. In 2007, 2.500 young will be so recruited. This is the device, route sport animation.
