European Union citizens will go to the polls in June to elect new MEPs. It is expected that around two-thirds of MEPs will be changed leading to a new political settlement. This will also affect the appointment of European Commissioners later in the year, so this has huge political resonance. In the current European Parliament (2019-2024), we have had few MEPs who we can identify as strongly supportive of motorcycling and the election will be a good opportunity to find a new sector champion.

Meetings with prospective MEPs and a reception for newly-elected MEPs.

Develop a manifesto that will engage various partners across the sector and will also allow prospective MEPs to agree. National motorcycle organisations will then meet with prospective MEPs at national level to discuss the content. Following the election, MEPs will be invited to a reception in Brussels to promote motorcycling culture and history.

Create a point of engagement with politicians in the European Union institutions. Identify MEPs who will be supportive of the motorcycle sector.
