FIM Europe
The FIM Europe is the European umbrella organization for motorcycles and motorcycle racing and as such responsible held for all European motorcycle racing events that do not belong to a world championship. The association was founded in 1995 as UEM ( Union Européenne de Motocyclisme , English: European Motorcycle Union ). In 2010 the world association FIM decided to reorganize the continental associations and accordingly the UEM was renamed FIM Europe in 2013 .
history
On September 5, 1995, a meeting of representatives from seven national European associations took place in Munich with the aim of creating an umbrella organization for motorcycle racing based on the example of other continental organizations. There were representatives from France, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, Slovakia, Portugal and Germany. A declaration of intent was passed, according to which the association to be founded should become part of the FIM and its task should be to promote, develop and spread motorcycle racing. At a further meeting on November 27, 1995 in Bratislava , the national associations of Belarus, Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania and the Czech Republic joined.
At the constituent meeting in Paris on February 17, 1996, the “Union Européenne de Motocyclisme” was finally founded as an umbrella organization of 21 national associations. Two committees were set up whose areas of responsibility were sport or promotion, tourism, security and transport. In 1997 the UEM was officially recognized by the FIM as a continental association, and in 2013 it was renamed FIM Europe accordingly.
