and relegation, the solidarity principle, as well as open competitions and opportunity for all. This is what sport – and especially football – is all about. We have to protect this model because sport is not simply a business like any other and we cannot allow it to be treated as such. We will continue to defend the specificity of sport and are convinced that our arguments will prevail for the good of football.</a></div></li><li id="A0001_2" class="hide"><a class="newsThumb" href="/web/20120107110524/http://www.uefa.com/uefa/elevenvalues/index.html"><img src="/web/20120107110524im_/http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Photo/uefa/KeyTopics/84/30/86/843086_w4.jpg" alt="Respect" width="324" height="182"/></a><div class="innerText"><h4 class="nTitle"><a href="/web/20120107110524/http://www.uefa.com/uefa/elevenvalues/index.html">Respect</a></h4></div><div class="newsComment innerText"><a href="/web/20120107110524/http://www.uefa.com/uefa/elevenvalues/index.html">Respect is a key principle of football. Respect for the game, integrity, diversity, dignity, players' health, rules, the referee, opponents and supporters. Our message is clear: zero tolerance against racism, violence and doping. Football unites people and transcends differences. The colour of the skin is invisible under the jersey and, for UEFA, this will always be so. Racism and any other forms of discrimination will never be tolerated. UEFA will not tolerate violence either on the pitch or in the stands. Football must set an example.</a></div></li><li id="A0001_3" class="hide"><a class="newsThumb" href="/web/20120107110524/http://www.uefa.com/uefa/elevenvalues/index.html"><img src="/web/20120107110524im_/http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Photo/uefa/KeyTopics/84/30/84/843084_w4.jpg" alt="National teams and clubs" width="324" height="182"/></a><div class="innerText"><h4 class="nTitle"><a href="/web/20120107110524/http://www.uefa.com/uefa/elevenvalues/index.html">National teams and clubs</a></h4></div><div class="newsComment innerText"><a href="/web/20120107110524/http://www.uefa.com/uefa/elevenvalues/index.html">National team and club football are vital and complementary elements of football.

The top professional level is just the tip of the iceberg. UEFA will continue with, and even strengthen solidarity, both to protect the future of football and to deliver the wider benefits that our sport brings to society as a whole. And it is also because the strength of football lies in its grass roots that we have to preserve the local, regional and national identities of our game, always in accordance with the law.</a></div></li><li id="A0001_8" class="hide"><a class="newsThumb" href="/web/20120107110524/http://www.uefa.com/uefa/elevenvalues/index.html"><img src="/web/20120107110524im_/http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Photo/uefa/KeyTopics/84/30/78/843078_w4.jpg" alt="Good governance and autonomy" width="324" height="182"/></a><div class="innerText"><h4 class="nTitle"><a href="/web/20120107110524/http://www.uefa.com/uefa/elevenvalues/index.html">Good governance and autonomy</a></h4></div><div class="newsComment innerText"><a href="/web/20120107110524/http://www.uefa.com/uefa/elevenvalues/index.html">UEFA and its member associations are committed to good governance.

We will continue to show strong leadership but operate in a spirit of consensus. In addition to the national associations, we will involve all stakeholders (leagues, clubs, players) in the decision-making process in European football, in particular through the Professional Football Strategy Council, so that the Executive Committee can take the right decisions. And we will aim for closer relations with football fans, without whom there would be no professional game.</a></div></li><li id="A0001_10" class="hide"><a class="newsThumb" href="/web/20120107110524/http://www.uefa.com/uefa/elevenvalues/index.html"><img src="/web/20120107110524im_/http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Photo/uefa/KeyTopics/84/30/73/843073_w4.jpg" alt="Pyramid structure and subsidiarity" width="324" height="182"/></a><div class="innerText"><h4 class="nTitle"><a href="/web/20120107110524/http://www.uefa.com/uefa/elevenvalues/index.html">Pyramid structure and subsidiarity</a></h4></div><div class="newsComment innerText"><a href="/web/20120107110524/http://www.uefa.com/uefa/elevenvalues/index.html">At international and European level, the autonomy of sport is reflected by the pyramid structure of football.
