An historic first meeting of the four leading motorsport world governing bodies (FIA, FIM, FAI and UIM) took place on the 27th March at the Automobile Club de Monaco, where common actions were discussed and an agreement made to jointly focus on optimal use of resources and the reduction of noise and pollution.

The meeting, chaired by UIM President, Raffaele Chiulli, was attended by senior officers of the F?d?ration Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), F?d?ration Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), F?d?ration A?ronautique Internationale (FAI) and Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM).

'I'm really pleased that the UIM is continuing to be the engine of this important co-operation,' explained Chiulli. 'Sharing knowledge and best practices with other international motorsport federations and international institutions, is pivotal to enhance environmental standards and achievements. We thank the FIA, FIM and FAI for their efforts and positive attitude. Working together will provide mutual value and benefits.'

During the meeting, the UIM presented its Environmental Code, designed to promote environmental sustainable practices that take account of social, cultural and ecological responsibilities, now and for future generations.

The next joint operational meeting will be held in Arendal, Norway in mid July, in conjunction with a round of the UIM Class one World Powerboat Championships.
