European Equestrian Federation Formed

FEI President HRH Princess Haya hopes the development will "help address the numerous specific needs of European National Federations."
International horse sport has a new European association, which will liaise with the European Union and other decision making bodies on matters of concern to the horse community.

The new body – the European Equestrian Federation (EEF) – was established by 27 European National Federations present at a meeting in Warendorf (Germany). It will represent the interests of European horse sport.

Speaking after the meeting, the newly elected President Dr. Hanfried Haring (Germany) said: “The EEF will help to ensure that European countries have a clear voice within the FEI. Our goal is to contribute positively to the FEI by improving communication, cooperation and understanding. EEF will try to ensure that the needs of all Federations and stakeholders in the European equestrian community are properly taken into account.”
 
Other elected members of the interim Board are Christian Paillot (France) and Ulf Helgstrand (Denmark) as Vice Presidents as well as Manuel Bandeira de Mello (Portugal), Andrew Finding (Great Britain), Michal Wroblewski (Poland) and Armagan Özgörkey (Turkey).
 
"The FEI welcomes this development," said FEI President HRH Princess Haya. "Like the regional associations already established in Asia and the Americas, this reflects the natural evolution of representation of the sport's interests at the regional level. We expect it to help address the numerous specific needs of European National Federations."
