Legal Counsels of EU NOCs meet in Split for third Annual Exchange

On 29–30 April, the third meeting of legal counsels from EU National Olympic Committees (ENOCs) was held in Split, Croatia, hosted by the Croatian Olympic Committee. Opening the event, Croatian NOC President and EOC Executive Committee member Zlatko Mateša highlighted the value of peer-to-peer exchange in generating tangible outcomes and facilitating the sharing of expertise to address shared legal challenges. Discussions focused on key topics such as esports, safe sport, arbitration, and public scrutiny. The discussion around esport showed once again, that there are plenty of open questions concerning the structure of events, qualification, nominations, and collaboration with publishers. The EOC EU Office contributed to the meeting with an overview of current legal developments at the EU level and briefly presented the SAFE HARBOUR project as a concrete initiative supporting safe sport.
