The Motorcaravanning Commission Meeting in Brussels, 16th November 2012
The C1 Driving Licence for
motorcaravanners with B licence could soon be be a reality. This information means that
a draft has been circulated by the European Parliament. And the Motorcaravanning
Commission has an important part in this process, since it has been the main
subject of the agenda for a long time, since 2005.
Normally, the commission celebrates its meetings in different European countries, but
this time it was in Brussels, at the headquarters of the FICC.
The
meeting was attended by the following members of the Commission: Les Kendrick, from
The Motorcaravanners' Club, UK; Dr. Gianni Picilli, President of
Confedercampeggio, Italy; Chris Wells, Council member of “The Camping and
Caravanning Club”, UK; Gérard Couté, President of the French Federation and
Jose Gonzalez, Chairman of the Motorcaravanning Commission, Spain.
The
Commission members discussed important issues concerning the motorhome (or
motorcaravanning) community in Europe, such as the C1 driving license
–mentioned above-, stopovers or rest areas for motorhomes, environmental or “Low
Emission Zones” in Europe, motorcaravanning technical information, towing
trailers with a motorhome and its regulations in European countries were, among
other subjects, in the discussion agenda.
The
main task of the Commission group is to clarify controversial situations that
concern motorcaravanning community, especially when we are talking about different
regulations and standards that are not yet approved in EU. Certainly, our work is
focussed on finding solutions that can be processed from the European Union.
Our
next meeting will be in Lisbon, on Saturday, 6th April 2013. When that
happens we will be pleased to keep you informed.
Until
them have a nice time!
