UEFA have agreed to review their security and crowd control procedures following a meeting with Sports Minister Richard Caborn. UEFA president Michel Platini met the Sports Minister for an hour yesterday and afterwards agreed to a security review for future finals.

"I suggested they set up a working party, which was well received by Mr Platini, and I have offered the expertise of the Football Licensing Authority, who are respected on a worldwide basis," said Caborn.
 
"They will be looking at major European finals and I hope they can start setting some standards for clubs entering the competitions that they have to meet certain criteria."

"I was in close dialogue with Richard Caborn both before and after the meeting and am pleased that he has kept us informed throughout," said Rick Parry.
 
"We obviously welcome Mr Platini's comments regarding our supporters and the fact that a constructive way ahead has been agreed which should benefit fans from all clubs."
