The manipulation of sports competitions with regard to matters not related to substantive criminal law and judicial cooperation in criminal matters

This procedure concerns the EU's involvement with a Council of Europe convention aimed at preventing and combating the manipulation of sports competitions. It focuses on non-criminal measures, such as establishing regulatory frameworks and monitoring systems to ensure the integrity and fairness of sporting events.
