For Decision:
1.1 Balkan Driving Championships 2021
The Board approves the dates of 17-18 July 2021 for the Balkan Driving Championships to be held in Zagreb (CRO).
For Discussion:
2.1 EHV-1 situation
The Board is exchanging the latest updates with regards to the EHV-1 situation in Europe and around the world. A special thanks is expressed to the IJRC and the NFs of FRA and GER for their immediate crisis response. The Board feels that restarting with international competitions in early April might be too early. It has been noted that several OCs are now submitting FEI draft schedules to their respective NF in which they state that only horses that are vaccinated against Herpes will be allowed to enter the show. This is almost impossible because there is currently not enough Herpes vaccine available so that many horses would be excluded from competitions
2.2 FEI Elections & Appointments
The EEF Communication working group is tasked to address this subject and to put a proposal forward to the Board.
For Information:
3.1 FEI Nations Cup Jumping Division 1
GD presents the two different proposals of the EEF Jumping Working Group with regards to the future key elements of the NC Division 1. A meeting between the FEI and Division 1 OCs is schedule for March 22nd after which the EEF Board will decide whether the EEF proposals shall be sent out to EEF members for their feedback.
AOB:
4.1 Longines EEF Series 2021
EO raises the question whether the Nations Cup competition and the Grand Prix shall always be run on the same week day in the 2021 season. No decision is made but the rules shall be checked in detail to see whether this is already covered there.
