[EDITORIAL]
Dear Reader,
on the 1st of December ACEM will hold its 5th Annual Conference.
I consider it an excellent opportunity for the Motorcycle Industry to outline the future scenarios
awaiting us and engage with the Institutions and stakeholders on how to tackle these challenges.
ACEM will present how Motorcycle Manufacturers intend to play their part in shaping the future of motorcycling. For this event we have gathered a panel of speakers ranging from academics to politicians who will for sure spark
an interesting debate through their presentations. An invitation to deliver the keynote speech has also been extended to Mr Antonio Tajani, Vice President of the European Commission responsible for transport policy.
I am looking forward to welcoming you at ACEM's 5th Annual Conference in Brussels!
Stefan Pierer
Acem President

ANESDOR, the Spanish Two-wheeler Industry Association, deems the new CO2 registration tax for PTWs inappropriate. Estimating that the entry into force of the proposed amendment will cause a drop in registrations of over 15% this year and to accumulate a setback close to 25%, ANESDOR also maintains that the government's proposal is contrary to air quality and atmospheric protection laws, and discriminatory toward people who choose PTWs as a mode of transport.
