What is the purpose of the convention?
■ The convention aims to facilitate national co-ordination and international co-operation against the threat of the manipulation of sports competitions, whether this is linked to criminal activity or to sports betting, or not.
■ To establish a set of standards and measures at international level to be implemented by public authorities, sports organisations and betting operators in order to prevent and combat manipulations of sports competitions.
■ To set up an international framework for the monitoring of these measures.
The Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (EPAS) is an agreement between a number of Council of Europe member states (35 as of 1 January 2014) which have decided to co-operate in the field of sports policy. As an “enlarged” agreement, the EPAS is open to non-member states. It works in co-operation with relevant organisations, in particular with representatives of the sports movement.
