National motoring bodies question Mosley's position

National motoring bodies question Mosley's position

05 April 2008

Germany's national motoring body, ADAC, has requested FIA president Max Mosley to reconsider his position. The German's were joined by Isreal and The Netherlands who also found the story shocking and unacceptable.

The Netherlands' motoring body, KNAF, said it would ask Mosley to resign at the special general assembly Mosley has called to explain himself. "Because of his high-profile position, this can't be accepted," KNAF president Arie Ruitenbeek said. "I have not received my invitation yet (to the FIA meeting), but we will go and will vote for him to resign."

Germany's ADAC said in a statement "The more than 100 million motorists worldwide should not be burdened by such an affair. Therefore, we ask the president to very carefully reconsider his role within the organization. It is in the interests of this world organization to carry on with its duties without the burden of this affair."

Mosley's mandate ends in October 2009.
