He then gave the floor to the Mayor of Andorra la Vella.
Address of the Mayor of Andorra la Vella
Mrs Conxita MARSOL Cònsol, Mayor of Andorra la Vella was delighted to be welcoming the FIM family in Andorra la Vella for the second time in a row. Andorra was a small
country but with a great spirit. They received 8 million visitors a year. In 2019 it would be the 600th anniversary of the Andorran constitution.
On behalf of the Andorran authorities she wished to congratulate Mr Vito Ippolito on all the work done over 12 years as FIM President and thank him for honouring Andorra
with the privilege of hosting the FIM two years running.
She noted that the FIM General Assembly and the FIM Awards were very important for them in helping to promote the country. Andorra hosted many important events and
would host the FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup Finals in 2019.
The President thanked Mrs Marsol and gave the floor to Mr Gilbert SABOYA, Minister for the Economy, Competitiveness and Innovation of the Principality of Andorra.
Mr Saboya thanked the President and Members of the Board, stating that the Principality of Andorra was very happy and honoured to welcome the FIM General Assembly
and FIM Awards in 2017 and 2018. He thanked the FIM for their confidence and hoped that the FIM family members would return to Andorra another time.
In addition to speaking Catalan, Andorra was part of the Espace Francophone and part of the Spanish-speaking world.

4.1 FIM Management Report
The President gave the floor to Mrs Lucile Ackaouy.
The 2017 Management report provided details on the economic environment, the FIM objectives, the balance sheet, the profit and loss account, the budget control and
the allocation of the result. Mrs Ackaouy wished to highlight three main points.
Exchange rate movements on the EUR/CHF and the USD/CHF had been above the budgeted rate. Comparing the actuals on the profit and loss accounts with the 2016
actuals, there had been more income as a result of exchange rates and indexation of contracts. This had prompted the Board to allocate a one million Euro extraordinary
grant to the FMNs. The Finance Director noted that the FMNs had until 5 December to fill in the Biennial check in order to benefit from their share of the grant. The
reserved and operational funds had almost returned to their 2008 level.

5/27
5 Reports from the Administration
5.1 CEO
See Appendix 4 – GA General Presentation

The President gave the floor to the Chief Executive Officer Mr Steve Aeschlimann.
Mr Aeschlimann said that it was gratifying to see so many Federations present at the FIM General Assembly. He wished to “join the dots” between the many activities of
the FIM Administration to help them understand the overall picture.
The FIM had done well in 2018. It had been a good sports season, beyond sport activities had grown, the modernisation of the FIM as an organisation had progressed and all
that had been achieved within the budget.
The FIM was experiencing a challenging environment. It was becoming harder and harder to attract young riders and volunteers for the FIM’s events, to get the fans’
attention and to attract sponsors. The FIM’s response was to try to deliver well and develop smartly. In other words, deliver to best of its abilities and to seize
opportunities and develop them across at the three main pillars of the FIM’s strategic plan: sport, beyond sport and being a modern organisation.
In the area of sport, he highlighted four examples: homologation, personal protective equipment, anti-doping and the ISDE in Chile. He further highlighted the riders’
insurance scheme, the reduction of certain tariffs and the launch of the Moto-E World Championship. All of those things together reflected the FIM’s focus on safety,
fairness, global development, accessibility and innovation.
In the field of Beyond Sport, the CEO highlighted the expansion of tourism, the annual FIM policy debate in Brussels, the “We, The Riders” road safety campaign and the
Kiss Programme. The focus was on the street riding community, advocacy and responsible riding. The “We, The Riders” campaign would become an umbrella brand for the
FIM’s beyond sport activities. It was all about positioning the FIM and helping to build coalitions.
As regards the modernisation of the organisation, the CEO presented a virtuous circle whereby greater resources allowed the recruitment of new talent. This in turn fed
into education (FIM Academy, seminars) and new technology, where relevant, better and more strategic communication, improved services to the FMNs and new
partnerships as well as greater value for existing ones. All of this would help the FIM to meet the challenge of increasing its brand equity for the upcoming years.
These were interesting times for the FMNs. The FIM had good people, was financially sound and ready to take on new challenges.
5.2 Sports
The Sports Director Fabio Muner would present figures from a different perspective this year. He began with riders’ attendance at the FIM World Championship. Overall,
between World and International events there had been an increase, but World Championship participation was down while the international events showed an increase.
The explanation came from: the loss of around 300 from Enduro World Championship on account of the WESS series; the fact that the Supermoto World Championship had
been suspended; and the ISDE, which also created a challenge when it was held outside Europe.
He then showed figures relating to the presence of manufacturers in the FIM World Championships. Yamaha was in front across the board. But if one considered
attendance proficiency (victories vs participation), KTM had the best index overall. Other brands present in the sport were the circuits, manufacturers of paints, barriers,
protective equipment etc. The FIM provided guidance for the industry. In that respect, the Technical Commission had done huge work with the new FIM Racing
Homologation Programme, starting with full-face helmets which were tested according to a new FIM Standard. The GP Commission had decided that the FIM homologated
6/27
helmets would be mandatory in MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 in 2019. There was also a project for joint homologation of circuit paints with the FIA.
He showed figures on the numbers of FIM World Championship and International licences overall and the number of FIM Riders per FMN, highlighting the top 15 countries.
The nations events were a moment when the FMNs really got involved. However, the number of countries present varied greatly with the venue.
The FIM family celebrated around 50 World Championships every year. Every FMN was unique but it was all part of something bigger. The FIM family shared passion and
values – respect for riders, volunteers, companies etc. He highlighted the development of competences through education. The professionalism of the FIM’s people was
one of its great assets. There had been more than 1300 seminar attendances in 2018.
He thanked the FMNs that supported the World Championships. The best way to develop world competitions was through the network of FMNs, who provided stewards and
volunteers.
He also wished to thank the Sporting Coordinators and Technical Coordinators and all the Commission Directors.
He then showed a video.
The President thanked the Sports Director and his excellent team.
5.3 Beyond Sport
The FIM Programmes Director Mr Damiano Zamana then reported on the FIM’s Programmes in the beyond sport domain. His Department was called the Programmes
Department because he was also responsible for the CMRF. This year the FIM had used all the money available, notably to support continental championships, racing for
the disabled and road safety initiatives.
Education was a major priority. The FIM had to practise continuous learning for new challenges. The site FIM Academy.com had been available to all the FMNs since
September. It would be improved in 2019 and in the future. The FMNs’ vision and input was needed to ensure that the site was fit for purpose.
In terms of profiling the FIM, that is ensuring that the FIM was well known and respected and seen as a pioneer of motorcycling in the world, the FIM had been present at
the INTERMOT motorcycle show in Cologne for the first time in 2018. The FIM had also joined major organisations in public affairs and road safety, notably the connected
motorcycle consortium, and research project on safety equipment for motorcycles named PIONEERS. It has also been present at the Congress of Motorcycling in Latin
America held in Colombia.
Mr Zamana presented the Beyond Sport Commissions, whose activities were cross-cutting and in some cases also concerned sport.
The CAP had developed a high level of good relationships with manufacturers in the field of mobility, road safety, and regulation (e.g. the revisions of the EU Motor
Insurance Directive following the ECJ’s VNUK decision). The Euro 5 Regulation presented a new challenge. All these issues were addressed on the new Public Affairs
platform.
Regarding the CFM, the President had reminded the Assembly of the victory of Ana Carrasco in World Supersport 300. The Commission was working on the #FIMVolunteers
and the #FIMFutureStars campaigns. The FIM CFM and its FIM Africa counterpart had also been present at the Congress of the IWG for Women in Botswana.
The CID had prepared and educated over 150 people in the world through its Environmental seminars. The animated video produced for the 25th anniversary was a very
important tool. Other important initiatives that had been pursued in 2018 were the Kiss Programme and the Ride Green Ambassadors.
As regards the CTL, 22’000 participants had taken part in the World Touring Challenge. This Challenge enabled the FIM and the CTL to have visibility at touring events all
over the world and to reach a segment of tourists never reached before by the FIM.
7/27
He noted that “We, The Riders”, which was becoming a knowledge and awareness campaign for all riders, had reached one million and half people since its launch. It
would now be extended to be an overarching brand for the four pillars of the FIM’s non-sport activity: safety, leisure, equality and sustainability. The campaign now had
to be replicated at national level. He wished to thank the FMNs who had already started. The materials were available and the Board had approved financial support.
5.4 Corporate Services
Mr Richard Perret reported on the Departments that reported to him as FIM Deputy CEO, the Legal Department, the Commercial Department and the Medical Department.
All FIM activities, sporting and non-sporting, had legal implications.
Legal Department
He presented the activities of the FIM Legal Department against a background of increasing judicialisation which led notably to more litigation, for example in disciplinary
and doping cases. Other important areas of activity were internal governance, the regulatory environment and compliance. The Department’s role was focused on risk
management, crisis management and damage limitation.
Commercial Department
The Department was focusing on business development, relationship management, sales and marketing, rights delivery and product design. In line with the approach
“deliver well and develop smartly”, the Department was working to seize opportunities and deliver creatively so as to make and keep successful partnerships. The
Department’s presence at INTERMOT and at the ISDE in Chile had been part of this approach.
Medical Department
In addition to anti-doping tests and education, the Department had been working hard for the safety of riders and other participants and performing its role of monitoring
and protecting riders’ health. One important focus had been the increased presence of FIM Medical Directors to supervise medical services at events. The Department had
also been keeping up with the latest developments in medicine and technology.
He concluded by saying that it had been a pleasure to serve the FIM under Vito Ippolito and wished him a happy retirement.
5.5 Communications
The Communication Director Mr Nicolas Jomard introduced himself. It was an honour to work for the FIM. Communication was important to highlight the hard work of
everyone. The FIM was keeping up with trends and there was a good foundation to build on.
He addressed the Communications strategy in relation to the FIM’s sport and beyond sport activities and the ambition to grow the FIM. The aim was to develop the FIM’s
platforms and generate content through in-house and external talent. It would not be possible to achieve anything without the teams, and he wished to thank everyone
working for the FIM’s Communications.
8/27
The main points of the communications strategy were creativity, reactivity, targeting and availability. The Department was there to feed the FIM’s brand identity and to
be a service provider for the FMNs, highlighting their actions appropriately. Without them, there was no content.
He summarised the communication strategy components in relation to the FIM’s three strategic pillars. The aim was to give value to all the programmes and target the
right audiences through right channels.
The new digital era had been there for some time now. The FIM had a solid foundation in terms of its digital footprint. In 2019 it would be necessary to use existing
platforms but reboot them to make sure they reflected the strategy in an easy and comprehensible way.
He highlighted recent trends in terms of internet and smartphone use: 66% of fans went on line once a day and 52% used smart phones. The FIM had to be sure to have a
digital brand identity. The logo was the home of the FIM family. But there was also a need for a new content plan to talk about FIM involvement, and a clear readership
level in terms of branding. All competitions had different DNA, for example MX and MotoGP, etc. The FINA had developed a set of logos for its disciplines. The FIM could
learn from it and work towards something similar.
In order to renew branding and content plans across the board, the Department would work on a six-month campaign in order to open up marketing and commercial
opportunities.
Internal communication was a major priority. The FIM-Family platform was a tool made for the FMNs. Karine André from the Communication Department would
demonstrate it for those interested during the breaks. In 2019 it would be an indispensable knowledge centre for them all.
However, communication was not all about digital. The human aspect was also important. The FIM needed to reengage with the media through active media relations.
In short, they were going to bring everything back to the FIM with a clear rebrand and editorial line for competitions, a coherent beyond sports package, an appropriate
digital footprint and work with the media.
The President thanked all the Directors and their teams for their important work.
6 Annual reports of the CONU Presidents
6.1 Annual Report of FIM AFRICA
The President gave the floor to Mr Marco Comana.
Mr Comana said that all the FMNs in FIM Africa were proud to be part of FIM Family. The CONU had undergone a restructuring at its Extraordinary GA in October 2018. The
New Council would be elected at the Ordinary GA on Monday 3 December. The number of Vice Presidents had been reduced from six to one.
In terms of the Road Map for 2019, there would be a continued focus on training. There was a project to train juniors and women in basic off-road riding. Train the
trainers courses had started in Uganda this year. The MX Academy spearheaded by a European school would be able to certify and train trainers in countries where there
9/27
were no schools and hence no juniors. This was important for the future of sport.
Road racing was not yet present at CONU level – there were only three countries with circuits – but FIM Africa was aiming for a CONU championship in 2020. At CONU level,
there would be a MX of African Nations in Zimbabwe in 2019, the Roof of Africa (extreme Enduro) in South Africa, the X_ Race in Namibia, the Royal MX in Morocco, the
Livingstone Motorcycle Festival in Zambia and the 2020 MXoAN in Uganda.
Africa was a continent of 50 states and the CONU hoped to increase its membership. Only 5% of motorcycles in Africa were in FIM member States. In 2019 they hoped to
have at least two new FMNs.
Mobility would be the next FIM pillar in years to come, with the plan to start a FIM Africa mobility service.

GA2018_7 Decision: FIM AFRICA ANNUAL REPORT UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED
6.2 Annual Report of FIM ASIA
The President gave the floor to Mr Stephan Carapiet.
Mr Stephan Carapiet thanked the Andorran authorities and FMA for their kind hospitality. Since being re-elected President of FIM Asia this year, he was still more inspired
to work harder to bring FIM Asia to new heights.
In terms of Continental Championships, it was necessary to have a balance of power among the manufacturers. The Asian Cup of Road Racing was a mono-brand
championship that awarded points to nations. Other CONUs were following in FIM Asia’s footsteps, and it worked. A promoter had expressed interest in the Asian
Supermoto.
Asian Riders were now present again in MotoGP. In Motocross there were Asian riders in the Junior MX Grand Prix and an Asian team had been present at the MXoN in the
US. MotoGP rounds had been held in Japan, Qatar, Thailand and Malaysia. More circuits were being built in both circuit racing and motocross.
A Trial GP event had taken place in Motegi and a round of Freestyle MX in China. As usual a round of the Endurance Championship had been held in Suzuka.
The CONU was working to introduce new endurance events in on-road and off-road. Also, in Enduro, they would opt for “arrive and ride” which was the cheapest form of
racing, over a 3km loop.
New non-sporting commission members in Asia would also spearhead non-sport in Asia, for example through Touring and Environment combined. In terms of road safety,
they were running a helmet campaign and a headlights-on campaign. Indian manufactures were now making bikes with a headlights-on feature.
The CONU had also developed its social media presence and communication.
He also referred to new technologies, notably e-sports. Some Olympic committees had adopted them. The FIM could develop e-sports for driving simulators. The FIA had
made a deal with Sauber for international online competitions with a final of all best national champions. The winner could become a Sauber test rider. The FIM could
perhaps do something similar.

6.3 Annual Report of FIM EUROPE
Mr Martin De Graaff, FIM Europe President ad interim, presented the FIM Europe Report. He noted that the FIM Europe Congress in 2018 had been very successful. He
would stick to the future part of the report which had been sent out in advance.
FIM Europe would continue to give support to activities, requests and projects of the FMNs. They would support development and promotion of sport for men and women
with special attention given to the grass roots. As always, Riders’ safety would be of the highest importance.
The MXGP Academy, the Train the Trainer programme and MXGP Rookie would continue. In the beyond sport domain, the “Tour Assistant” training course would also be
pursued.
Public affairs, road safety, mobility and FIM Europe’s presence in Brussels would also remain high priorities. FIM Europe also remained committed to environmental
matters.
Finally, the CONU would continue to be very active in communication, Public Relations and social media.

GA2018_9 Decision: FIM EUROPE ANNUAL REPORT UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED
6.4 Annual Report of FIM LATIN AMERICA
Mr Pedro Venturo, President of FIM Latin America, highlighted the first Women’s Latin American championship in Enduro held in Chile in 2018 and the first Motocross
Championship of Latin American Nations held in Ecuador. The CONU hoped to turn both those highly successful events into FIM Latin America classics.
As regards FIM events, he mentioned the FIM Speed Records in the Salar de Uyuni in Uruguay and the FIM International Touring Challenge event held in El Salvador.
The Commissions had mainly met at events to save travel expenses. The FIM Latin America General Assembly would take place in Andorra on Monday 3 December.
5 FIM Officials’ Seminars had been held in FIM Latin America as well as medical seminars given by Dr Juan Crespo.
11/27
As regards the road map for 2019 – 2020, the CONU would continue developing the FIM Latin America Cups for kids, mainly in mini-cross and road racing with small
capacity engines as well as Trial and Enduro for both sexes. The focus would be on youngsters and women.
Mr Venturo presented the Chairs of the FIM Latin America Extra Sporting Commissions: Fernando Molano (Technical Commission), Velia Hargreaves (Women’s commission),
M.D. Juan Crespo (Medical Commission), Ovidio Morales (Sustainability Commission) and Luis Figari (Tourism and Leisure commission).
He concluded by thanking the Andorran Federation and especially Natalia Gallego and Josep Punti for their great organisation.

6.5 Annual Report of FIM NORTH AMERICA
Mrs Marylinn Bastedo, President of FIM North America, referred to her report, which had been sent out in advance of the Assembly.
She pointed out that the CONU changed presidents in 11 days’ time. She was therefore going to present what she thought but the future depended on the incoming
President’s vision.
She highlighted the recruitment of qualified individuals as lack of manpower was becoming critical for FIM North America. They would conduct a review of the Trials
Committee’s terms of reference. The creation of additional committees was also a possibility. Recruitment of new candidates for event operational positions would also
be needed. FIM North America needed to streamline this. Appointment and training of FIM North America officials in other disciplines would also be necessary, especially
in Speedway and Supermoto.
The CONU was hoping to increase the number of riders, especially women, in Trial. A FIM North America woman would be appointed to the FIM CFM next year. She
thanked FIM CFM Director Nita Korhonen for this initiative.
The CONU would continue to work on harmonising its rules with FIM rules.
Another major focus would be to make the hosting of FIM NA events more attractive to organisers and more attractive to potential sponsors. The problem of historical
series meant that the CONU brand took a secondary position. This needed to be fixed as part of a CONU Marketing plan. They would also try to attract more outside riders

6.6 Annual Report of FIM OCEANIA
FIM Oceania President Mr Glen Williams, presented the report. He wished to introduce the team, who helped him a lot, in particular Peter Doyle and Virginia Henderson.
12/27
The Road Map for 2019-2020 provided for more intercontinental participation with the help of Dorna. Two major new FIM Oceania competitions were announced, namely
the 2019 Oceania Junior Cup, with the support of Yamaha Australia, Australian Superbikes, Motorcycling Australia and the FIM, and the FIM Oceania Supercross
Championship that had taken off a few weeks ago. There was a new promoter and a good relationship. The event had attracted 34’000 spectators. This was a major move
forward.
The CONU was planning to develop its event support to increase value of FIM Oceania for stakeholders and enhance the visibility of FIM and FIM Oceania, with a particular
focus on supporting the young and the grass roots. They would also be working with nearby CONUs.
Efforts were ongoing to share information between AUS and NZ in relation to policy, volunteer reward, regulations and guidelines. FIM Oceania wished to grow the
relationship with the FIM and improve the flow of info in both directions. The CONU was effectively FIM’s representative on the continent and they wanted to develop this
further.

7 Expulsion of FMNs
The CEO explained that two FMNs, Tajikistan and Azerbaijan had failed to pay their debts despite several reminders. The Board had proposed to expel them if the debt
were not settled by 30 November. A proposal was being put to the General Assembly to that effect.
The President put the motion to the vote.
The motion was carried.

8 Finance
8.1 Approval of the 2019 FIM budget

The Finance Director said that it was a balanced budget based on prudent exchange rate assumptions. She presented a breakdown of budgeted revenues and costs. She
13/27
also presented the investment budget mainly made up of recurrent items.
Mr Lazdovskis from Latvia asked for the floor. He said that the FIM would be voting for a new President and Board members shortly. Probably the Assembly would
listen to promises of a brighter future, more development and turning towards the federations. However the reality was a bit different. They had heard it said that FMNs
were the base of the FIM, which was true. The Federations were the ones developing the sport at the end of day and they were the ones paying the bills including to the
FIM. There were 2 million people in his country and yet it organised several FIM events. They had to pay everything. According to the budget, administrative costs at the
FIM were up 20%. That was not what was wanted. The 2017 budget had proved it was possible to save money and give it to the federations and cover some of their costs.
This should be the goal for future budgets, to save money and give the FMNs money every year.
The General Assembly applauded.
The President said that the FIM wanted to know what difficulties the FMNs had and how to help federations to grow. There would be programmes for 2020 to help FMNs
grow. It was always in their minds. For 2019 the Board had decided to distribute EUR 1 million. There were no electoral issues there as the payment was for 2019.
The President invited the Assembly to approve the 2019 budget. The budget was unanimously approved.

Decision: THE ABOVE CANDIDATES WERE CONFIRMED AS DIRECTOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CJI FOR 2019-2022
11 Election of FIM President, Members of the Board of Directors and Internal Auditors
11.1 ELECTION OF THE FIM PRESIDENT
VIP announced that at the last Board meeting two new VPs had been appointed, Mr Jörgen Bitch as Vice President and Mr Jos Driessen as Deputy President, for the sake of
continuity of the Board.
The Board had had interesting discussions about the vote for President. After the withdrawal of Mr Srb, there was only one candidate. It was therefore not clear how the
candidate could obtain a majority of 50% +1. Under the traditional system, only one vote was sufficient for a 100% as the majority was calculated on the basis of the votes
cast.
He recalled that, according the Statutes, the Board could interpret Statutes and By-Laws in case of ambiguity. The Board had asked for a legal opinion to establish how
the Federations could be given a chance to vote for, against and abstain in a way that was compatible with the text. A solution had been put forward and had been
accepted by Board.
19/27
The decision was to create a ballot paper with three options: mark YES, mark NO or to mark neither, which would be a blank vote. They could therefore can vote for,
against or abstain. Abstentions did not count as votes cast.
Mr Leeman from Sweden said statutes were owned by the General Assembly. When there was no Assembly in Session, the Board could interpret them, but they could not
change them. This was fundamental for good governance. Experts, lawyers and professors never agreed among themselves. It was always possible to obtain different
opinions. It was not unusual to have one candidate for President of an IF. But it was up to the General Assembly to decide whether to use old way or a new way. It was not
the Board that should decide. He therefore asked that the proposal be put it to a vote by the GA.
The General Assembly applauded.
The President said that the Board was very aware of its responsibility and that GA was sovereign. However, they had looked into the question in depth and taken a
decision to interpret something not explicitly stated by the Statutes, namely what to do when there was only one candidate.
Mr Leeman again asked for GA to be given chance to decide.

Mr Rob Dingman of the AMA seconded the motion.
Mr Stanley Yasuhiro from Guam, Deputy President of FIM Asia, was puzzled by the proposal. The Board was creating another candidate, a non-candidate. This was not a
good thing for the FIM as a body to do. If the Assembly voted no, the FIM would not have a president, as the term was four years and not longer.
The President asked that the vote proceed.
Mr Dingman, President & CEO of AMA recalled that Mr Leeman had raised a motion seconded by AMA. He called upon the President to put that question to the vote.
Mr Lazdovskis from Latvia said that he was not in favour of all the Board’s decisions but this time he agreed. The Board had given the Assembly a democratic choice.
They could listen all week to different opinions. He proposed to go ahead with the vote.
A delegate from Argentina said that the General Assembly had the right to know what happened if they voted no.
The President said that if the candidate did not obtain a majority he was not elected. The Board had decided that the Executive Board would replace the President until
the next General Assembly.
He suggested that they proceed with the vote.
The CEO then invited the candidate Mr Viegas to present himself in five minutes.
Mr VIEGAS then took the floor.
He said that it had not been easy to reach that point. First, he wished a full recovery to Mr Srb. For him it was a great honour to be accepted as a candidate to be the FIM
President. Motorcycling was the most exciting sport. He wanted to change the FIM. Not only would FMNs have a bigger role in decision-making but there would be more
resources for the CONUs. He also wished to bring the Commissions back to the centre of the FIM’s decisions. The staff were there to serve the FMNs, the CONUs and
Commissions. He could already say that he wished to create a department for FMN and CONU programmes. He wanted to lead the FMNs. The FIM needed a leader to bring
it to the level they deserved. He wished to help the FIM to be a family again. During this year, he had learned that if you had a dream and a passion you had a very
powerful weapon. He wanted to deserve their vote.
The President gave the floor to the CEO.
20/27
Mr Aeschlimann said that the voting procedure was standard. He would call each FMN in alphabetical order. They would receive the ballot paper and go to the booth.
After the last FMN had voted, the President requested that the independent tellers count the vote and asked the delegates to remain in the room while the votes were
counted.
There were 101 votes cast, all valid. The majority required was 50%+1 = 52.
Mr VIEGAS had received 79 votes.
Mr VIEGAS was therefore elected PRESIDENT.
N° Item : Election of the FIM President Raised by: SAE

GA2018_27 Information: Mr Jorge Viegas is elected FIM President
Decision : Mr Jorge Viegas is elected President of the FIM for 2019-2022
Mr VIEGAS had not prepared this speech. He had been fighting for the post for many years. Churchill had once said that it did not matter if you won or lost as long as you
kept fighting. He would be the president of all the FMNs, whether they had voted yes or no. Many people had helped him, some of whom were no longer here. He hoped
the FIM never had to see this again. The rules would have to be clarified. Maybe an independent chair of the GA was needed. But this was a moment of joy. He noted that
he had had a real political coach who was more passionate even than he was, namely his wife.
He hoped that they would not regret their votes. He would do everything to deserve them.
11.2 ELECTION OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The CEO then announced the election of three members of the Board of Directors. There had been ten candidates for three positions. Up to a maximum of three names
could be written on the ballot paper. One candidate had withdrawn that morning, namely the candidate from Iran.
His name would therefore not be on the list.
BOLLE Jacques FFM (France)

COPIOLI Giovanni FMI (Italy)
DAGHER Ali LMC (Lebanon)
KORELIS Stylianos AMOTOE (Greece)
MULDER Wim KNMV (The Netherlands)
STOVICEK Jan ACCR (Czech Republic)
TURK Michel MFMA (FYROM)
WAN AHMAD Wan Zaharuddin AAM (Malaysia)
WITKOWSKI Andrzej PZM (Poland)
21/27
Each of the candidates was invited to speak for 3 minutes maximum.
Mr Stelios Korelis made a comment on the order of the candidates on the list.
The President then gave the floor to Mr Jacques Bolle.
Mr Bolle wished to congratulate Mr Viegas on his election and salute the members of the Board coming to the end of their periods in office. He also saluted Vito Ippolito at
the end of his presidency. He himself had always tried to be as constructive as possible on the basis of his legal views. He had been entrusted by the President with the
reform of the Sporting Code. He would have liked to continue with the revision of all the FIM’s regulations, especially the sporting ones, and hoped that the new President
would continue this work, in which case he would be happy to help.
The President then gave the floor to Mr Giovanni Coppioli.
He had been Board member and Vice President and subsequently President of the FMI. He hoped to do some good work for the FIM. He had been a member of CJI for six
years. If elected he would give strong support to the development of sports activities. He was a lawyer in his private life. He believed that the FIM should make its best
efforts to promote motorcycling activities. He would work with everyone. The FIM should value each Federation. He also felt that the FIM should help young riders to
progress and to inspire others. He believed that they had to work together as a team to reach the best results in everything they did. He was interested in sport, not
politics. With reference to the Latvian FMN President’s words about small Federations, he said that he would work towards that goal if elected.
The President then asked Mr Ali Dagher to take the floor.
Mr Ali Dagher said that he had spoken about motorcycling in Lebanon to the Assembly seven years earlier. In the meantime he had been able to realise a lot of things in his
country, notably competitions in Enduro and Motocross, a safety campaign, a motorcycle school and much more, in order to realise that vision. He praised the experience
and knowhow of his team. He had had the pleasure of working with talented and able people for the good of motorcycling. That was what he hoped to do on the Board.
He aimed to keep FIM among the top IFs thanks to transparency, top competitions etc. He was committed to making the FIM grow.
The President then gave the floor to Mr Stelios Korelis.
Mr Stelios Korelis said he had been a candidate in Berlin for FIM and for FIM Europe. Today he felt sceptical and optimistic at the same time. The FIM needed to be more
democratic. On the other hand he was optimistic about the candidates for the Board. He did not want to tire the Assembly by repeating myself but he thought they should
all be thinking about the democratic future of FIM. He had had administrative experience with Greek Federation for 37 years. He wanted to make the FIM bigger and
better and was asking for their support.
The President then gave the floor to Mr Wim Mulder.
Mr Wim Mulder said that the day’s elections were very important for the FIM. He came from Assen (NED). He was 50 and KNMV Vice President. He had been passionate
about motorcycling from childhood. He had worked for various companies including Philipps. He could assure them that he was compliant with all the FIM rules. He
wanted to express his appreciation for the work done by the FIM leadership team. His programme focused on four key topics: strengthen the sports pyramid with an inflow
of grass roots riders; education – initiatives had already started and there was much more to be done (FIM university); sustainability, including noise reduction, efforts to
help biodiversity to gain public support, and riding electric vehicles. He also wished to help improve road safety by reducing risks. There was more to be done, for
example a risk mitigation course for urban riders. The FMNs needed to work closely together and pool their resources. He was counting on them to help build a prosperous
future for FIM.
The President gave the floor to Mr Jan Stovicek.
22/27
He congratulated the newly elected President and thanked Mr Ippolito for all that he had done for the FIM. He had met many of the FMN representatives at FIM meetings.
He was President of the ACCR (Czech Federation). The ACCR was a big FIM FMNR with seven events that year. From 2004 he had been on the CJI but his involvement in
motorcycling had started 20 years ago with the then UEM (now FIM Europe). He had recently been FIM Europe VP. The FIM Administration was doing a great job. The FMNs
were working hard to organise races and prepare riders. But there was a gap between the Administration and the FMNs. They needed to close that gap and work together
to be in one boat and move the sport and the organisation forwards. The Board was like a university, you could not go there from primary school. He urged them to vote
for people who had experience. It had taken him years to learn how FIM worked and he thought he was ready.
The President then gave the floor to Mr Michel Turk.
Mr Turk said that he had been a member of the FIM for 42 years, active in both sport and administration. He had been Vice President of FIM Europe in the past. He agreed
with Jan Stovicek that there were gaps between FIM Board and the FMNs. Sometimes it was difficult to perceive the transparency. The FMNs were in the dark and needed
to know what the Board was doing and what the ongoing processes were. The FMNs were not only responsible for sport, even though that was where they excelled. They
also needed to have a wider view because there were 360 000 000 motorcyclists out there and they need to take care of them. Today the Assembly would vote for a new
Board. They needed knowledge and to be in the loop. He thought that every candidate had knowledge. But what was much more important was the time they were ready
to devote to the task, to working for the FMNs. He was ready to go 100% for them and asked them to give him their votes.
The President then gave floor to Mr Wan Ahmad Wan Zaharuddin
Mr Wan Ahmad said that three minutes was not much if there was a lot to say. What he had to offer was many years of work in motorsport. Thirty years earlier he had
become a steward for SBK and MotoGP. He had also spent 7 years as Deputy President of his Federation. Then he had served as FIM Asia President, taking over from Mr
Carapiet who had now taken over from him. His ambition was to get involved in road safety. He also wished to place the emphasis on grass roots development for youth.
His FMN had worked on this for 25 years and now had riders in MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3.
He thought that more could be done to get closer to the FMNs. Mr Ippolito had done a lot. Mr Viegas would carry on the work. He wished to serve and asked them to give
him their votes.
The President then gave floor to Mr Andrzej Witkowski.
Mr Witkowski said that he was a lawyer and has been President of Polish FMN for many years. He had served on the CAP and had been Chair of the Awards and Recognition
Committee. He had considerable national and international experience and could help the FIM to become stronger through the FMNs. The FIM needed more transparency,
more democracy. They had to bring in more resources to help the FMNs develop, especially small ones. He also represented Central and Eastern Europe, a part of the
world very active in motorcycling. They needed to improve communications between the FIM and the FIA on matters such as mobility and the environment. He wanted to
carry on working to help the FIM become a major influencer and realise its strategic plan. He would support all the FMNs. He urged them to work together to make the FIM
strong, democratic and transparent.
The President asked Mr Anand Sashidharan to act as observer during the counting of the votes.
The delegates were called up to vote. Mr Aeschlimann then asked the Independent Tellers to count the votes.
There were 101 valid votes cast. The majority required was 52
The results were as follows: Messrs Bolle (52 votes), Coppioli (54 votes) and Stovicek (56 votes) were elected to the Board.

Mr Francis was a trained accountant and auditor and a Trial official. He had served two terms in the CCI.
Mr Aeschlimann reminded the voting delegates that they could write a maximum of three names on the ballot paper.
The CEO called the FMNs to vote one by one. He then asked the Independent Tellers to count the votes.
The results were as follows:

There were 89 valid votes cast. The majority required was 46. Mr Brandi (67 votes) and Mr Francis (67 votes) were elected. Mr Bavellas and Ms Chaziioannou were tied

autograph session pre-Event with the Champions would take place in the Andorra Park and be by invitation only.
She gave the General Assembly some practical information regarding the communication and marketing efforts being deployed around the events.

and the FIM Awards on 1 December.
The President of the Monaco Federation, Mr André Philippe Pollano, was called on stage. He thanked the Andorran Federation for everything they had done over the two
years they hosted the FIM GA and Awards. The GA and Awards would be moving from one of Europe’s smallest state to another. Both were characterised by peace and
security and dedicated to sustainability. The only difference would be a change from mountains to the sea! They looked forward to welcoming the FIM family in Monaco. A
video was shown highlighting Monaco’s attractions.

Gold Rodil del Valle medal for Motorcycling Merit to Oriol Puig Bulto
Mr Oriol Puig Bulto was called on stage to receive the FIM Motorcycling Merit Award gold medal from the FIM President.
Mr Aeschlimann read out some brief highlights of his long career.

25/27
Mr Puig Bulto said that he was honoured to receive the medal for service to motorcycling over 45 years. It would not have been possible without the support of his wife
and family. Serving the FIM had given him the opportunity to meet many people from all over the world from different cultures etc. but all with a passion for
motorcycling. The dynamic balance between centrifugal force and gravity, the breeze, leaning into a curve on twisty road, there was nothing like it, especially off-road.
In 1973 when he had joined the FIM the competitors were amateurs. There were just two rule books, the sporting and technical codes. Now there were dozens. Luckily the
progress of technology made it possible to store them all on a memory stick. The sport had become more dangerous and given rise to environmental problems. They had
developed technical rules around safety of riders, freedom of design, equivalence of engine types and sustainability. Unleaded fuel had been introduced in 1994. Many
other projects had followed. One recent one was the FRHP for helmets. Another was the one for safety barriers in track racing. Today the FIM was a strong modern
organisation with a strategic plan.
He wished to thank the FIM Management for its support over many years, the chairs of other Commissions, the staff members and especially CTI coordinator Charles
Hennekam, who had a vast knowledge of and great loyalty to the FIM, and Erica Manfredi for her efficient work. His best wishes went to Fabio Fazi who would certainly
modernize the CTI and face the challenges successfully.
He congratulated Jorge Viegas on his election. He was sure that the FIM would keep growing and reach its targets and objectives for the benefit of motorcycling.
The President said that they had been fortunate to have Oriol with the FIM for so many years. He richly deserved the medal.

Management Report
OBJECTIVE OF THE REPORT

The objective of this report is to provide additional information pertaining to the official
financial statements of the Federation, which have been audited by the external auditors
and reviewed by the internal auditors of the FIM. These additional elements, such as
statistical data, shed a more complete light on the activities of the FIM during the 2018
fiscal year.
In some cases, additional details appear in the appendices.
Except where otherwise stated, the amounts are in thousands of CHF (KCHF). The variation
shows the evolution between 2017 and 2018.
1. ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
As the bulk of the FIM’s income is in EUR or USD, movements of these currencies in relation
to the CHF can have a significant impact on the result. In 2018, these movements
remained within the following range:
- between CHF 1.12 and CHF 1.20 against the EUR (the budget rate is CHF 1.09),
- between CHF 0.92 and CHF 1.013 against the USD (the budget rate is CHF 0.95).
The impact of these exchange rate movements was favourable to the FIM’s 2018
operational result.
3
Management Report
However, the decrease of the EUR/CHF rate at the end of the year had a negative impact
on the valuation of the bank accounts in foreign currencies and thus on the financial result
(latent loss).
This was compounded by the unfavourable impact of the financial markets on the valuation
of portfolios.
2. FIM OBJECTIVES
The year 2018 saw an FIM Presidential Election followed by a reorganisation for the FIM
Administration.
The good financial status of the FIM allows it to contemplate its new challenges with
serenity.

3. BALANCE SHEET
The FIM balance sheet reads as follows:
Share Share
2017 2018 Variation

Cash and invested funds 11'955 41.4 % 12'436 42.8 % 480

TOTAL LIABILITIES, CAPITAL AND FUNDS 28'878 100.0 % 29'030 100.0 % 152
The FIM Balance Sheet remains very sound, as the capital, funds and long-term provisions
represent over 70% of the total assets. They show a decrease over 2017 following the
distribution of an extraordinary grant to the FMNs present with voting rights at the General
Assembly, having responded to the biennial survey, and being in financial good order vis-à-
vis the FIM. Indeed, the amount distributed was allocated to the Reserved Funds in 2017 in
order to involve the FMNs in the good result of the FIM that year. This subsidy, applied to
the FMNs’ account within the FIM in December 2018, also explains the increase in the line
item Creditors.
The FIM’s net result is a slight loss of KCHF 0.1, following the constitution of provisions
related to the salary payments due in 2019 to the outgoing Directors, partially offset by
the dissolution of the provision for risks, an unrealised reserve created in 2015.
The cash and other liquid assets fell in 2015 as a result of the financing of the
headquarters extension but have increased since 2016. In 2019, the FIM will open a
relationship with a new financial partner, BCV, in order to invest part of its liquidity while
avoiding the billing of negative interest on current accounts exceeding a certain threshold
in Switzerland, and to respect the investment policy which requires a diversification of the
financial partners.

Management Report
The variation in proceeds from promoters breaks down as follows:

- Indexation of promoter contracts MCHF 0.4
- Currency movements MCHF 0.3
4.1.2 Proceeds from Sponsors and Organisers

The decrease in the amount of proceeds from sponsors and organisers can be explained
mainly by the fact that no invoices were issued to X-Trial organisers following the arrival of
a promoter. This decrease was partly compensated with income from Ice Speedway title
sponsor.
4.1.3 TV income
TV income continued to decrease in 2018 due to the reduction of the number of
“properties” available in the FIM portfolio following the arrival of promoters in Trial and X-
Trial.

The detail of the evolutions per discipline and championship are in the appendix 8.2.
The number of events entered in the calendar (excluding World Record attempts) is globally
stable despite a decrease in the number of Track Racing events (2 Speedway GP events
fewer and the Speedway of Nations replaced the Speedway World Cup with fewer events).
The related income has increased, however, as a result of tariff increases and exchange
rate movements more favourable on average in 2018 than in 2017.
Three disciplines (Circuit Racing, Track Racing and Motocross) still generate over 80% of the
calendar income.

Total licences 5'937 8'791 2'854 1'738 1'615 (123)
The number of riders’ licences in 2018 decreased in comparison with 2017, mostly due to a
fall in licences in Enduro (ISDE in Chile and competition with WESS events) and Motocross
(Supermoto, MXGP / Supercross and Junior Motocross either due to fewer events or to less
participation for events outside Europe).
For the first time in 2018 the FIM invoiced the licences for International meetings (that is
3’388 licences and an income of KCHF 44).
As officials’ licences are valid for 3 years, the quantities can vary from one year to another
whereas the income is distributed evenly over the 3 years.
The decrease in income from manufacturers’ licences is due to the fact that there were
fewer manufacturers in 2018 and no more tire manufacturers’ licences.
In 2018, only 4 machines and 1 security device were homologated as compared to 13 and 4
respectively in 2017.
4.1.6 Membership and Affiliation Fees

The increase in proceeds from FIM members’ contributions is due to the increase in the
tariffs and to the exchange rate impact (invoiced at the beginning of the year with a rate of
CHF 1.19 for EUR 1 compared to CHF 1.08 for EUR 1 in the beginning of 2017).
8
Management Report
4.1.7 Advertising, Royalties and other income

The decrease in this income is due notably to:
• the decrease in sponsor income for the ISDE that took place in Chile,
• the indemnity received in 2017 from the CFF (Swiss Federal Railways) in return for
occupying a part of the FIM’s land during the works they were carrying out,
• the decrease in income from fines. However, this income is offset by the payment
of subsidies that feed the Donations and Charity reserve fund.
4.1.8 Loss on bad debts and diminution of provision

A provision for risks amounting to KCH 500 was released in 2018. Moreover a decrease in the
number of debtors making late payments also allowed the FIM to decrease the related
provision.

Payments to riders/teams 1'265 975 (290)
Other 174 60 (114)
TOTAL 5'676 4'313 (1'363)
Subsidies to the FMNs and CONUs, which amounted to a total of MCHF 3.3 (MCHF 4.2 in
2017), decreased because in 2017 they included an allocation of an extraordinary
amount (MCHF 1.2) to the Fund for Development of Motorcyclists’ activities, to be
granted in 2018 to FMNs meeting certain criteria (see note 3).
The decrease in payments to riders is a result of a decrease in the number of events (SGP)
and the arrival of a promoter for X-Trial.
The other subsidies include the amount of fines imposed on riders and paid on to the
Donation and Charity reserve fund.

Management Report
4.2.2 Cost of Sporting Events, Commission and Board meetings

The increase in costs for this category is explained by:
- the increase in the number of events outside Europe (impact on airfare and average
number of days of travel),
- the higher meeting costs (related to the wish to hold more regular meetings of the
Commission Directors and FMN Secretaries General),
- greater participation in the General Assembly and the Awards Ceremony in Andorra
involving an increase in related costs (rooms, meals ...),
- the contribution of the FIM towards the travel and accommodation expenses of the
voting delegates (presidential election).
4.2.3 Personnel Expenditure

On average, in 2018 the headcount was 36 staff members (including temporary staff)
compared to 33 in 2017. At the end of 2018, the FIM had 28 full time employees and 8
part-time employees (34.7 Full Time Equivalent).
The increase in the personnel costs is explained by the headcount increase (full year impact
of posts filled at the end of the year 2017 and by the provisions linked to the payment in
2019 of the salaries due to the former Executive Directors.
4.2.4 Marketing and communication expenses

These costs fell by 5% over 2017 thanks to a reduction in TV production costs linked to the
arrival of promoters in X-Trial.
4.2.5 Other administration costs including depreciation

The increase in administrative expenses is related to the use of legal and public affairs
experts to meet increasing regulatory requirements, as well as the decision to take over the
insurance of MotoGP pass holders formerly deducted from the GP benevolent funds. This
charitable fund was merged in 2017 with the Donations and Charity reserve fund which is
now dedicated solely to donations.

The financial result is broken down as follows:
2017 2018 Variation
Gains and losses on portfolios 66 (112) (178)
Interest on portfolios and deposits 10 (1) (11)
Bank charges and other misc. financial exp. (32) (73) (41)

Exchange gains (losses) 251 (101) (352)
Financial Result 296 (286) (583)
The evolution of the financial markets and currency fluctuations in 2018 explain the
financial loss generated in 2018.

Management Report
5. 2018 RESULT COMPARED TO THE BUDGET
The negative variation in actual amounts compared to budgeted amounts is KCHF 15. The
increase in meeting and travel expenses and the financial loss were offset by the increase in
revenues. However, following the provision relating to outgoing directors, the FIM result is a
slight loss despite the approval by the Board of Directors of the release of the provision for
risk, a latent reserve dating from 2015.
6. CONCLUSION
The financial situation of the FIM remains healthy with the amount of the assets and funds
representing more than 70% of the balance sheet. In addition, the FIM has cash and
investments representing 40% of assets with an increase of MCHF 0.5 in 2018 compared to
2017.
7. ALLOCATION OF THE RESULT
We recommend that the result be allocated as follows:

(*) Computed by dividing “Value” by “Number” of licences for each type.
A decrease in the number of licences sold can be seen in almost all disciplines but, as
mentioned in note 4.1.5, mainly for Motocross and Enduro licences.
The following graphs detail the evolution in the number of licences issued by discipline and
per type.
23
Management Report
Circuit Racing (CCR)
The decrease in the number of licences issued for Endurance is due to the fact that there
were more annual licences issued than one event licences. Thus the financial impact of this
evolution is positive (increase of the riders’ licences income).
24
Management Report
Motocross (CMS)
The decrease in the number of licences issued is due to less participation to some events
outside Europe (MXON and Junior MX) and to the fact that in 2018, for the Supermoto
Championship, only the Supermoto of Nations was registered in the FIM calendar.
25
Management Report
Trial (CTR)
The number of Trial licences increased in 2018 compared to 2017 as did the number of
events.
26
Management Report
Enduro (CEN)
The decrease in the number of Enduro licences is due to the competition from WESS and
lower participation in the ISDE that took place in Chile.
27
Management Report
Cross Country Rallies (CRT)
The number of Cross-Country Rallies licences is lower in 2018 compared to 2017 (decrease
in participation in the event in Qatar due to a calendar clash with an international event).
28
Management Report
Track Racing (CCP)
The decrease in the number of licenses issued is mainly due to the decrease in the
number of events in 2018 compared to 2017.
29
Management Report
Officials’ licences
Altogether, 1’047 new officials’ licences were issued in 2018 (3174 of them Superlicences),
representing a decrease of 2% over 2017 for Superlicences and a 7% increase for officials’
licences that are valid for three years. For these three-year licences, the total value for
2018 (column “Value”) includes an “adjustment from previous years” to take into account
the contributions for 2016 and 2017 and indicates an annualised average.
Note: the quantities (column “Number”) correspond to the licences issued in the year
concerned.

These costs include:

- FIM Delegates’, staff and Board members’ travel costs and allowances;
- Various costs linked to the organisation of sports events;
- Various costs linked to Commission and Board meetings;
- the FIM’s contribution to the costs of the voting delegates at the 2018 General Assembly
(Presidential election year).
The number of trips for FIM delegates (excluding voting delegates) has increased (1'381 in
2018 vs 1'300 in 2017), as well as the average number of days of travel. This is partly due to
the number of events outside Europe (such as the ISDE, the Motocross of the Nations and
the MX Junior).

The unfavourable evolution of the financial markets in 2018 explains the loss of value for
the portfolio. In addition, in order to diversify its financial partners, the FIM has decided
not to increase the value under management at Pictet. In 2019, an amount will be
transferred to a new financial partner to increase the overall amount invested.

Report of the statutory auditor on the financial statements
As statutory auditor, we have audited the accompanying financial statements of Fédération Internationale
de Motocyclisme, which comprise the balance sheet, statement of revenue and expenses, statement of
changes in capital and reserved funds, cash flow statement and notes, for the year ended 31 December
2018.
Board of Directors’ responsibility

The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with
the requirements of Swiss law and the company’s articles of incorporation. This responsibility includes
designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Board
of Directors is further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making
accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are
free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to the
entity’s preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s
internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 comply with Swiss law and
the company’s articles of incorporation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
31 December 2018
Note 1 - Summary of accounting policies
1.1 - Accounting for the organisation
The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (referred to hereafter as the "Federation")

is a non-profit-making organisation, headquartered in Mies, involved in various aspects of
motorcycling activities.
The "Federation" maintains its accounts in accordance with the principles of fund
accounting. This is the procedure whereby resources required for the realisation of the
various objectives are classified for accounting and reporting purposes into funds
established according to their nature and purpose. These principles are in accordance with
the provisions of commercial accounting as set out in the Swiss Code of Obligations (Art.
957 to 963b CO, effective since 1 January 2013).
These reserved funds are created to support specific areas and aspects of the
"Federation's" development policy.
The reserved funds available are classified into two categories:

- The operational funds constituted by means of a budgetary allocation
- The capital funds constituted by special allocations from the accumulated surplus
1.2 - Recognition of revenue and expenses
Expenses and revenue arising from subscriptions, sale of licences, calendar events and
contracts with promoters are recognised for the fiscal year to which they relate.
Extraordinary revenues linked to the signature of a contract are thus spread out over the
duration of the contract so as to smooth out the annual revenue on the contract, except
where these revenues cover expenditure already realised under the contract.
Income from inventory sales is recognised at the date of sale. The purchase of goods is
recorded immediately in the statement of revenue and expenses at the time of purchase.
For certain articles intended for sale, the quantities ordered exceed the needs for one
year of sales. In such cases, the purchases are recorded in an inventory account, which
appears under the heading “accrued income and prepayments”. Quantities sold during the
year are booked to the statement of revenue and expenses at year-end.

31 December 2018
Note 1 - Summary of accounting policies (continued)
1.3 - Foreign currency conversion and hedging
The accounts are maintained in Swiss Francs. Transactions in other currencies are recorded
at the rate of the day of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities held in other
currencies are converted at year-end rates. On 31 December 2018 the exchange rate was
CHF 1.13726 against the EUR (vs. CHF 1.1808 on 31 December 2017) and CHF 0.99433
against the USD (vs. CHF 0.98826 on 31 December 2017).
Foreign exchange losses and gains arising from contracts with promoters are booked to
financial income and financial costs.
The “Federation” uses derivative financial instruments exclusively to manage the foreign
exchange exposure related to its activities. As a general principle the “Federation” does
not enter into speculative derivative transactions.
Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at the purchase cost or the market
value, whichever is the lower.
1.4 - Depreciation of fixed assets
Land and buildings

Land and buildings are recorded at their historical value. The depreciation charge in the
statement of revenue and expenses for 2018 is CHF 299'290 (it was CHF 298'172 in 2017).
The building includes the value of the basement (estimated at 40% of the value of the
original building), depreciated straight-line at 2.5% per annum, plus the new building
depreciated straight-line at a rate of 2.5% since 17 September 2015, and the facilities
linked to the building which are depreciated straight-line at a rate of 6.67% per annum.
Furniture and equipment

Furniture and equipment are capitalised and depreciated straight-line at 20% per annum.
Computer equipment
Computer equipment is capitalised and depreciated straight-line at 33 % per annum.

31 December 2018
Note 1 - Summary of accounting policies (continued)
1.5 - Pension plan
The "Federation" has established a pension plan to provide the life insurance and
retirement benefits required by Swiss law.
A complementary pension plan was also established; the purpose of this plan is to offer the
possibility of taking early retirement at the age of 60 to those employees who, at that
date, have worked for the "Federation" for at least 20 years. In 2012, this complementary
pension plan was integrated into the foundation which administers the pension plan
required under Swiss law. This plan is financed by an annual payment totalling 14% of the
payroll.
On 31 December 2018, there was no liability towards the pension scheme and this was also
the case on 31 December 2017.
1.6 - Tax on income and capital
In Switzerland, the "Federation" has the status of an association organised as a corporate

body governed by Articles 60 to 79 of the Swiss Civil Code, and is exempt from Swiss
income and capital tax.
Note 2 – Amounts concerning related parties
The amounts below as shown on the balance sheet concern related parties (National
Federations, Continental Unions and members of the Board of Directors):
2018 2017
CHF CHF
Accounts receivable 209'723 235'888
Accounts payable -1'750'874 -309'882
Deferred Income -114'247 -202'949
The decrease in the amount of accounts receivable and deferred income is explained by
the fact that 2019 Riders’ licences were available later.
The bigger amount of Accounts payable is due to the attribution to FMNs meeting certain
criteria of an extraordinary grant related to the positive result in 2017. The amount
granted was the object of an additional allocation to the Fund for the promotion of
motorcyclists’ activities in 2017.

Note 6 – Guarantee deposit on contracts
The deposits received from MotoGP and Superbike promoters are placed on interest-
bearing deposits with a bank. The capital, together with the interest accrued, will be
repayable in full at the time agreed upon in the related contracts. These deposits are
shown in the balance sheet.
For most of the other contracts with promoters, bank guarantees are issued in favour of
the "Federation".
Note 7 – Invested funds
The "Federation" has invested in long-term bonds and shares according to the investment
policy approved by the Board of Directors. The advisory mandates granted to Pictet were
changed into discretionary management mandates in 2013.

and the market value at the end of 2018 is a potential gain of CHF 9’875 (CHF 3’328 in

1. SUMMARY
The 2020 budget set out in this document is balanced, a challenge given the recent
movements in the EUR/CHF exchange rate which are unfavourable for the FIM’s revenues,
the majority of which are in euros.
The exchange rate used to convert income and expenditures reported in EUR and USD into
CHF was set at CHF 1.09 to the EUR and CHF 0.95 to the USD. These exchange rates are
consistent with the current rates above and the forecasts of the main Swiss banks for the
coming months. By way of comparison, the average rates in 2018 were CHF 1.17 to the EUR
and CHF 0.99 to the USD.
To compensate for the adverse impact on the FIM’s revenues by this movement in the
exchange rates, negotiations were carried out with promoters, mainly in relation to the
development of new championships.
Indeed, revaluing the revenues makes it possible to finance the increase in costs
connected with the development projects of the FIM and its affiliated Federations.
2. GENERAL REMARKS
Throughout the document, the figures in the 2020 budget are compared with the actual
figures for 2018 (i.e. the last known complete year).
3. INCOME
Total revenue (excluding financial income) is budgeted at CHF 24.7 million, which is CHF
1.4 million or 6% higher than that achieved in 2018. This increase comes mainly from
revenues from promoters.
3/6
3.1 Commercial revenues

Income from promoters is budgeted at CHF 20.0 million, which is CHF 2.1 million or 12%
higher than that achieved in 2018. This change is due to contractual changes and the new
negotiations that are under way less the impact of the exchange rate (at a comparable
exchange rate, revenues from promoters in the 2020 budget would increase to CHF 21.1
million).
Sponsorship and Advertising income is budgeted at CHF 0.6 million, which is CHF 0.3
million or 29% lower than the 2018 revenues. This budget has been set cautiously based on
the contracts that have been entered into or are being renewed at present. The difference
by comparison with 2018 is mainly due to the Ice Speedway sponsor contracts (which were
not renewed in 2019).
TV revenues are 15% higher than those achieved in 2018 following the increase in the
portfolio of TV rights which are exploited by the FIM directly due to the cancellation of the
Trial promoter contract.
Miscellaneous dues including the certification programmes are 48% higher than they were
in 2018. This is mainly due to the revenues from the helmet homologation programme.
3.2 Revenues from Sport

The unit of value (the basis for calculating FIM tariffs) has been set at €62 for the 2020
budget (it was €60 in 2018 and €61 in 2019).
Calendar revenues are 4% higher than in 2018 due to the increase in the number of events
for certain championships (MotoGP, Sidecar Cross, Supermoto, X-Trial, SGP, SuperEnduro
and Cross-Country Rally) and the change in tariffs linked to the increase in the unit of
value.
Licence income is down by 4% and this mainly reflects the adverse movement in the
exchange rate (which has an impact of CHF 0.1 million on licence revenues so that at an
unchanged exchange rate, these revenues would have risen by 3%).
Revenues from organisers are amounts which are charged to Trial organisers. In 2018, the
Trial was organised by the promoter Sport7 which received these revenues directly.
3.3 Miscellaneous revenues

The revenues from membership fees were calculated on the basis of 111 FMNs.
Miscellaneous revenues excluding the release of the provision for risks (which amounted
to CHF 0.5 million in 2018) are stable.
4/6
4. EXPENDITURE
Total expenditure (excluding finance costs) for 2020 is budgeted at CHF 24.6 million (CHF
1.5 million or 7% higher than in 2018).
However, due to the situation regarding the unfavourable movement in the EUR/CHF
exchange rate, particular attention will be paid to keeping within budgeted costs,
especially in relation to travel expenses (streamlining nominations, etc.).
4.1 Subsidies
The total amount budgeted for subsidies is CHF 4.2 million for 2020 as compared with CHF
4.3 million in 2018. This decrease is linked to the movement in the exchange rate, because
the amounts in foreign currencies have not decreased and the number of events for direct
payments is rising. Indeed, at a comparable exchange rate, the value of grants in the 2020
budget would be CHF 4.4 million.
4.2 Costs for administrative and sporting meetings

These costs, which consist mainly of travel expenses and expenses of FIM agents, are CHF
7.6 million for 2020, representing an increase of CHF 0.4 million or 6% by comparison with
the actual figure for 2018. This change is due to the increase in the number of events and,
in some cases, the number of officials present.
4.3 Administrative expenditures

Administrative expenditures are CHF 12.8 million, which is CHF 1.3 million or 11% higher
than the actual figure in 2018.
Staff costs are expected to be CHF 8.3 million, which is CHF 0.3 million (or 3%) higher than
the actual figure in 2018. This change reflects both the posts that were open in 2019 (full
year effect for certain posts) and a new vacant post.
The cost of external services and other administrative costs are budgeted at CHF 2.8
million, which is CHF 0.6 million higher than in 2018 due to the enlistment of experts for
projects such as the FIM Academy, helmet certification, etc. and the increase in
expenditure for depreciation and maintenance of FIM applications and internet systems.
Communications and marketing costs are budgeted at CHF 1.7 million, which is CHF 0.4
million higher than the actual figure in 2018 due to expenditure associated with organising
the Trial without a promoter and new projects to improve the FIM’s communications and
image.
5/6
5. NET FINANCIAL RESULT

The budgeted net financial result reflects a neutral attitude towards the trend in the
financial and currency markets (i.e. we do not anticipate either a profit or a loss on
investments or on transactions and balances in foreign currencies). It is therefore made up
of ordinary banking charges and management mandate fees. However, these charges are
increasing because, due to the increase in the available amount under management, the
FIM has enlisted an additional manager in accordance with its investment policy. The
Banque Cantonale Vaudoise (BCV) has been managing one of the FIM’s portfolios since
2019, and the Pictet bank has done so since 1999.
6. USE OF RESERVE FUNDS

The 2020 budget does not make provision for any use of reserve funds to offset any
operating losses whatsoever.
7. ANNUAL INVESTMENT BUDGET

The 2020 investment budget, which is CHF 0.6 million, makes provision for the
replacement of computer equipment, technical equipment and various supplies which are
recurring investments (CHF 0.1 million).
In addition to these investments, there is the value of various IT developments (CHF 0.3
million) to meet expectations that the various FIM applications and platforms will be
improved. These developments are being carried out either by third parties or by internal
personnel, and the associated expenditures are being capitalised as the projects progress.
Certain additional developments (CHF 0.2 million) have been budgeted for in 2020 for the
building (i.e. external fences and internal alterations which were not carried out in 2019).
8. CONCLUSION
The FIM’s financial situation remains healthy and maintains a satisfactory level of reserve
funds which this balanced 2020 budget will continue to safeguard.
It is indeed part of this process of modernising and developing all of the FIM’s activities
while taking account of the constraints associated with the movements in the exchange
rates.

Background / Rationale
Please provide a concise rationale describing the situation and background and thoroughly explain why such a
decision is needed
The Working Group decided to delete the term “volunteer“ which is no longer in keeping
with reality. Furthermore, it is awkward to define a term (i.e. Commission) using said term.
Consequently, it has been decided that the phrase “that guides the Commissions work”
shall be deleted.

“1
Non-payment of membership fees and/or FIM service charges by the required date as laid
down in Article 4.3 of the Financial Regulations (FR) shall lead to immediate suspension of
the rights to all FIM and/or CONU services until full settlement of the outstanding amount
has been received.
2
FIM and CONU services are considered the delivery of FIM licences, the registration of
International Meetings, FIM World Championships and Prize Events and the allocation and
payment of grants and contributions.
3
In case of urgency and as a precautionary measure, after giving the FMN concerned the
opportunity to communicate its justifications in writing and/or orally if it so wishes, the
BD may withdraw the sporting power of an FMN which, in the opinion of the BD, is no
longer able to exercise its prerogatives expressly described in article 11.1.5.3 para.1 a).
This withdrawal may only be decided on a provisional basis until the next GA.
In the event of withdrawal of the sporting power of an FMN, the BD may
provisionally delegate this sporting power to another entity (e.g. FMN, CONU or other)
until the next GA.
1/2
4
If an FIM World Championship or Prize Event or an International Meeting crosses the
territory of a suspended FMN, the FMNR must obtain the prior written authorisation from
the BD at least two months before the start of the Event.”
decision is needed
The FIM is increasingly confronted with internal disputes in countries where various
entities claim the statute of FMN affiliated to the FIM. It was requested that the
Governance Committee address this issue. The first considerations focused notably on
the possibility of withdrawing the sporting power of an FMN for the benefit of another
entity.
your recommendation
Possibility to withdraw the sporting power of FMN without withdrawing its affiliation to the
FIM. More tools available to the FIM in the event that an FMN is no longer able to exercise
its prerogatives.

Article 11.1.5.3 (Expulsion)

Proposal
“1
An FMN may be expelled following a resolution adopted by the GA on a proposal from the
BD or an FMN:
a) If it either fails in its duty as a member or if it acts contrary to the aims of the FIM or
contrary to its membership rights and obligations expressly referred to by or in these
Statutes, the By-Laws or any other FIM regulations or the rights of another FMN or if it does
not represent the interests of motorcycling in its own country efficiently;
b) If it fails to pay its debts to the FIM and/or the relevant CONU within a maximum period
of two years after receiving a demand for payment by registered letter;
2
Any proposal to expel an FMN shall be examined first by the BD which, after giving the
FMN concerned the opportunity to communicate its’ observations in writing and/or orally
if it so wishes, may:
a) […];

b) […];
c) […].
In considering a proposal to expel under this Article the BD shall always act in good faith.”
decision is needed
It is proposed to clarify the definition of the right to be heard in paragraph 2 as it is an

extremely broad concept.
It is also proposed to delete the entire sentence referring to the BD’s good faith. It goes

Article 12.1.1 (Participation)

Proposal
“Participants at the GA are:

a) Voting delegates and other persons who have been designated by the FMNs to attend a
particular GA, subject to a maximum of three per FMN;
b) Delegates who have been elected by the GA or appointed by the BD;
c) The Presidents of the CONUs who represent their respective CONU;

Only those persons in Arts. 12.1.1(a), (b) and (c) are entitled to speak and debate at the GA
as of right. Those persons in Arts. 12.1.1(d) and (e) may only speak and debate with the
leave of the President. No other persons are entitled to attend the GA unless invited by the
President”.
decision is needed
It is apparent that there are some contradictions regarding the persons authorised to
participate in the GA and their respective rights. Les following modifications have therefore
been decided by the Working Group:
• Deletion of paragraph b) which refers to “mysterious” delegates elected by

the GA or appointed by the BD. The term “Delegates” is much too vague.
• Deletion of paragraph c). This paragraph is superfluous, as the CONU
Presidents are de facto members of the BD. The Presidents of CONUs
participate in the GA in accordance with paragraph f).
• Deletion of the second part of the provision in paragraph f) as its terms are
too vague.
• Addition of a new paragraph e) which gives the competence of authorising a
person to participate in the GA to the President of the FIM.

Paragraph 3: “Votes may only be cast by a single delegate who shall be a member of
the FMN and officially nominated as a voting delegate by a senior official of the FMN
he represents. The registration form for the voting delegate may include a first
deputy delegate and a second deputy delegate two further deputy delegates and
must be duly signed and stamped by the president and a senior official of the FMN
concerned.
Should the registered voting delegate be prevented from attending the General
Assembly at a late stage for reasons of force majeure or illness, the first deputy
delegate takes the place of the voting delegate president or his deputy and a senior
official of the FMN concerned may appoint either deputy as voting delegate by means
of a new registration form duly signed and stamped to be sent in pdf format by
electronic mail to the CEO of the FIM 48 hours at the latest before the opening of the
General Assembly. Should the first deputy delegate be unable to attend, the second
1/2
deputy delegate would become the voting delegate”.

In order to lighten the procedure, the Working Group proposes to appoint, among
the two deputy delegates, a first deputy delegate and a second deputy delegate so
as to provide for a hierarchy should the voting delegate be unable to attend.

in the nonSporting Commissions must hold an FIM licence in their domain (if existing).
Candidates must also be email literate and readily accessible and must be functional in
English or in French or must have their own interpreters. Other languages are an asset».

The By-Laws currently provide that all candidates applying for a position within a
Commission must be able to speak English.

terms of language, candidates should be capable of speaking at least one of the two
official languages of the FIM (i.e. English or French) or have their own interpreter.
your recommendation
French and English are the two official languages at the FIM. As a result, there is no
reason to mark a preference between the official languages by imposing English, at
least in the Commissions, to the detriment of French.
This proposal will help notably avoid having to exclude non-English speaking
candidates despite them fulfilling all the other criteria for joining an FIM

decision is needed
The order of precedence during FIM World Championships and FIM Prizes is now
expressly provided for in an ad hoc document included in the promoters’ contracts
and/or the Organisers’ Manual for the event in question.
Furthermore, insofar as the FIM no longer plays a part in organising International
events, the latter should be deleted from paragraph 2.
It is therefore proposed to delete paragraph 2 of this disposition.
your recommendation
Protocols have been developed in order to reinforce the prestige and visibility of
the FIM and reflect the value of the roles played by the Officials, representatives
and delegates of the FIM and by the FMNR.
These protocols have been incorporated into the promoters’ contracts and/or the
Organisers’ Manual and will be applied to all events counting for the FIM World
Championships and FIM Prizes as of 2020.

10.1.3 FIM Training Camps
Proposal
10.1.3 FIM Training Camps

FIM Training Camps are international sporting training activities organised at a particular place with
the major aim of raising the level of riders within the participating FMNs and stimulating their
participation in national and international championships, during which no form of competition
shall take place. FIM Training Camps help and encourage countries to develop and implement
training programs and are open to national and foreign riders holding a FIM Training Licence. FIM
Training Camps may not be named as such without being submitted for approval in the FIM
Calendar by the relevant FMNRs.
For the organisation of the FIM Training Camps, the Sporting Code and the relevant Guidelines will
apply. The organisational responsibility shall lie with the FMNR and, if present, the contractual FIM
promoter.

Riders participating in the CONU Training Camps must be holders of the FIM Training Licence or a
licence accepted by the CONU. The organisational responsibility shall lie with the FMNR and, if
present, the contractual CONU promoter.

decision is needed
In order to facilitate the organisation of training activities run under the aegis of the FIM and/or
a CONU and to set minimum safety requirements needed for international training events, it is
paramount to provide a regulatory frame which includes activities that already take place since
several years. Meanwhile, sport Commissions are requested to cooperate in order to develop
dedicated Guidelines for each discipline related to FIM Training Camps.
your recommendation
Short term benefits are to regulate current activities, which are already taking place without a clear
regulatory framework, thus ensuring a definition of FIM Training Camps. Long term benefits are to
determine minimum requirements for international training events through the draft of dedicated
Guidelines, identifying and defining the role of FIM international coaches and, ultimately, the
developing the number of riders participating in international races.
2/3
your recommendation
Current risks are the lack of specific Guidelines per each discipline that wants to develop FIM
Training Camps, while these risks can be mitigated through a consistent and prompt Guidelines
draft. Within the insurance scheme for licences, training/education activities are not yet included in
the insurance coverage.

poor organisation (e.g. inadequate exits of the public in the event of fire) thus protecting
him from claims for compensation resulting from their negligence.
Intentional action refers to persons, for the selection and supervision of whom the Organiser
is responsible, and in the event that the Organiser fails to take preventive measures
(selection, training, supervision) that will prevent any malicious actions (e.g. sabotage or
theft.)
Our view is that major international organisations such as the FIM must first and voluntarily
apply the claims that every economic and social body has to bear, and not reserve for
themselves privileges that are condemned by society.
We also want to point out that in the unfortunate event of a claim arising against the FIM in a
case of gross negligence – or worse, wilful misconduct – the FIM Sporting Code’s provisions
for non-responsibility will prove very weak before any Court of Law.

110.1.1 Third Party Liability Insurance for FIM World Championships and Prize Events without an FIM
promoter
The organiser of a FIM Championship or Prize event must provide the FIM Administration, not later
than 20 days prior to the event, with a copy of the insurance policy written in English or French to
cover his own liability and that of all participants, the manufacturers, riders, passengers, sponsors
and officials in case of damage to third parties and among themselves (cross liabilities) during the
meeting or during practices. The insurance policy shall also cover any possible liability of the FIM to
third parties.
The minimum amount of coverage, which shall not be less than the minimum standards provided for
by the national laws of the country in which the relevant event is taking place, is defined regularly by
the Board of Directors and published in the FIM Yearbook.
The third party liability insurance will come into effect two days before the official practice session
and will terminate two days after the last race day.

The third party liability insurance will come into effect two days before the official practice session
and will terminate two days after the last race day.
decision is needed
1. Elimination of the «cross liability coverage» in both Articles

We propose to eliminate in both Articles the «cross liability coverage», among participants,
manufacturers, riders, passengers, sponsors and officials, mainly for the following reasons:
a) It is not normal in motorsports to require this «cross liability coverage» to the organiser
or the promoter of the event as it should be the riders and other participants in the event to
bear the risk / cost of their activity / insurance, among themselves;
b) This «cross liability coverage» makes the cost of the event insurance unbearable for the
organiser or the promoter;
c) Many FIM Championship or Prize Events organized in the last years didn’t have
insurances with the «cross liability coverage» required by FIM Sporting Code, we assume for
the reasons mentioned in a) and b) above.
2. Add to Article 110.1.2 the same requirements of Article 110.1.1
Assuming that the FIM requires the same amount of coverage and the same period of
validity for both insurances, with or without an FIM promoter, we propose to add to Article
110.1.2 these same requirements mentioned in Article 110.1.1, to avoid any doubts that might
arise.
