The FIM Europe Management Board approved, during its meeting in Belgrade on 6th December 2014, the proposal by Jan Stovicek, the FIM Europe Vice President, to implement the project of FIM Europe legal texts revision.
Basing on this decision, FIM Europe will address all its member FMNs to participate in the revision work of crucial FIM Europe texts, including the Statutes, By-Laws, Disciplinary and Arbitration Code and the Sporting Code. Also the FIM will be invited to participate.
A working group of lawyers will be formed in order to review these legislative texts with the objective to identify eventual inconsistencies that might have occurred with regard to various modifications in past years, and propose rectifications to improve their legal quality.
The objective is also to introduce elementary rules for legislative process for the future so that the risk of reproduction of similar situation is minimized.
The revision works will be led by Mr Jan Stovicek (in the photo), for many years a member of the FIM International Panel of Judges and experienced sporting lawyer.
