Following a decision by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on 2 June 2021, the International Federation of Sport Officials (IFSO) has become the 26th member of the Consultative Committee (CC) of the Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (EPAS).

As a pioneer international federation in the field of sports refereeing, IFSO's mission - since its creation in 2019 - has been to improve refereeing in all sports. It offers a platform for sharing knowledge, experience and best practice. As a member of the Consultative Committee, IFSO will be invited to attend CC plenary meetings, webinars and other activities aimed at fostering dialogue between the members of these sports organisations. The next opportunity to meet fellow CC members will be at the plenary on 14 June 2021, followed by a joint Governing Board/Consultative Committee meeting on 15-16 June.

The Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport is composed of three statutory bodies – the Governing Board, the Consultative Committee and the Statutory Committee – all of which strive to implement the programme of activities aimed at making sport more ethical, inclusive and safe. The Consultative Committee is composed of European sport organisations representing the sports movement.

EPAS aims to promote the development of any sport whose benefits are wide-reaching. It develops policies and standards, monitors them and helps with capacity-building and the exchange of good practices. 
Different recommendations initially prepared by EPAS have been adopted by the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers on issues of sports ethics, the autonomy of the sports movement, and the protection of young athletes from dangers associated with migration.
Recommendations such as the European Sports Charter are regularly monitored via consultative visits in member states.
