Request to the European commission to ask to create a specific European program for the traditional and regional games (following the vote of the parliament in 1994): after written questions sent by deputies, Commissioner Rigel (sport and culture) answered that the Commission doesn't have the authority to create this program. The European parliament and its collaborators from the commission were therefore incompetents or idiots in 1994… For those that this answer doesn't satisfy, the ETSGA president asks that they get in touch with their European deputy to ask them for precisions.
