Request for meeting with ACEA

Dear Commissioner Moedas,
 
 will be in
Brussels on 5 June for our Board meeting and General Assembly. I would like to enquire about
the possibility of meeting with you on that day.
 
Today, digitalisation and decarbonisation are the two major trends that are reshaping the EU
automotive industry and society as a whole. Research and innovation are and should remain in
the future the main drivers to support and accompany those trends. With more than €50 billion
invested per year, the European automotive industry is the first private investor in R&D in
Europe. In light of the upcoming ninth Framework Programme (FP9), this meeting would provide
an opportunity to discuss how the future funding strategy can help addressing key mobility
challenges while helping the industry to remain competitive and continue creating jobs.
 
In addition to that, several pieces of EU legislation have recently been released by the European
Commission, which will likely have a strong impact on our industry. This includes the setting of
CO2 reduction targets for cars and vans, the improvement of vehicle safety, as well as the
strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from heavy-duty vehicles. We would like to discuss how the
European Commission could help the industry to deliver on current and upcoming challenges,
while keeping its overall competitiveness.
 
I very much hope that your agenda will allow for this meeting. Given the ACEA Board and
General Assembly time constraints, the best slot 
 would be at 9.30.
 
I thank you very much in advance for your consideration of this request.
 
Sincerely Yours,
