The idea of creating a European motorcycle organization was started from the need to face certain themes strictly connected to particular and local situations. For example, the necessity to study a “European license”, after the had liberalized the sporting activity in its 15 affiliated countries, or to find a solution to the great difficulties of the Eastern European Countries in developing an international sporting activity in the situation of great crisis after the fall of the Berlin wall, to promote the motorcycling activities in all European countries. On the 5.9.1995 the representatives of seven National Motorcycle Federations met in Munich in order to create a European Union of the National Federations, like the Latin-American Union that has existed for many years and recognized by the FIM. The Federations who were present in Munich were those of France, Italy, Switzerland, , , and Germany. A document of agreement was signed, in which it was specified that the new organization was not born in opposition to the FIM but inside it, in order to improve promotion, development and diffusion of Motorcycling in the Old World and achieve a strict cooperation among the National Federations, especially with those countries where Motorcycling is not yet developed. During a further meeting in Bratislava on the 27.11.1995 other Federations (, Bulgaria, , , and ) asked to be a part of the new organization. On 17 February 1996 a Constituent Assembly was convened in Paris during which 21 National Motorcycle Federations decided to join the European Motorcycle Union (UEM). This First Assembly approved the Statutes and elected Jean-Pierre Mougin (France) as President, the eight members of the Council, two auditors of accounts and the Secretary General, Vincenzo Mazzi from Italy. The FIM Europe legal headquarters is at Mies in Switzerland which is the Head Quarters of the FIM. The Executive Secretariat was established in the country of the Secretary General in Rome. Wilhelm Lyding (Germany), OMK Board Member and promoter of the UEM constitution, was appointed Honorary President. Two Commissions were also formed, a Sporting Commission and a Commission for Promotion, Tourism, Road Safety and Transport (Mobility), both composed of specific Working Groups whose members were appointed by the Council in order to grant a certain efficiency and flexibility. This organization had a temporary validity of two years, the necessary time for the UEM to grow and take the irst steps. In the meantime, a Working Group was also formed in order to revise the text of the Statues and to propose the Standing Orders. On the 5th and 6th of July 1996 the first UEM Congress was held in Cologne/Germany and the delegates of 29 of the 33 affiliated Federations took part. In 1997, the FIM modified its Statutes by adopting the CONU’s provisions which were enforced on 19 October 1998. Thereafter the official recognition of the FIM Europe as a Continental Union (CONU) took place at the 1998 FIM Congress in Cape Town. As from 1998, the UEM has been allocated by the FIM the responsibility for the organization of the European Championships and Cups. In 2010, FIM amended its statutes by deciding that the six existing CONUs would be named henceforth as follows: FIM Africa, FIM Asia, FIM Europe, FIM Latin America, FIM North America and FIM Oceania. On 30 November 2012, an Extraordinary General Assembly took the decision to modify its statutes accordingly.

The respect for the environment is an essential part of the FIM Europe behavior. Many of our races are on unpaved roads or off-roads tracks near villages and could create discomfort for the population. Today legislation, especially on Northern Countries but spreading more and more in other areas, is limiting the use of motorized vehicles.

The FIM Europe General Secretariat begins its operation at its current location in 1999 as UEM Executive Secretariat, assuming its current name of “General Secretariat” with the new Statutes approved on the 30th November 2012, at the Extraordinary General Assembly in Monaco, following the modification of the FIM Statutes approved in Macau in 2010. The General Secretariat is the permanent administrative body of FIM Europe and it is based in Rome (Italy), at via Giulio Romano, 18. In 2019, the General Secretariat celebrates its first twenty years at the service of the National Motorcycling Federations Members of FIM Europe. Thanks to an accentuated attitude to innovation, the Secretariat has developed the ability to answer to the multiple requests coming from the continual sports and non-sporting activities, in constant growth. Therefore the General Secretariat, through its Departments (Financial & Accounting – Sports - Marketing & Communication- Travel & Logistics) is able to offer a wide range of services to Federations, Bodies of FIM Europe and Officials. The creativity is reflected in going out from the traditional schemes and in a constant research for new procedures, more and more effective and efficient. It is always used a realistic view of the concept of “administration” and “services”, in order to transform creative ideas in innovation. The passion for the work and for the creative innovation represents the lifestyle of the Secretariat, a mental attitude inspiring the daily job. The spirit of service is constantly accompanied by emotional intelligence, with which the Secretariat tries to shape the services on the peculiarities of its Members, trying to be in empathy with all of them, considering their complexity and their diversities,even if belongingto thesamebig family of Motorcycling. is the easy ation rom a ivities s a last “FIM EUROPE FORUM”
