The list of forbidden substances in sport and the way of checking the implementation of the UNESCO Agreement were the two main issues at Tuesday's meeting of UNESCO in Paris, which was attended by Greece's Deputy Culture Minister responsible for sport George Orfanos.

"The first issue concerned the list of forbidden substances. WADA's proposal was adopted. We must note that our country is one step ahead, given that by ministerial decision, from last December, we have approved the specific list of forbidden substances," Orfanos said.

Regarding the way of checking the implementation of the UNESCO Agreement, Orfanos underlined:"The final decision which was taken, activates the checking of 45 member-countries, which have approved the specific agreement, with the procedures foreseen by the Constitution of each country."
