Furthermore, we ask for huge changes, work without lucre purpose, the recognition of the Sport Arbitral Court in Lausanne (CAS), the immediate endorsement and respect by the FIVB of the Ethical Code, the Olympic Charter and the decision of 23 August 2004 of the International Olympic Committee which sanctioned the FIVB commissions system concerning the sponsorship and TV agreements as contrary to the Olympic fundamental principles.
