Calgary (pps) At the request of the US Federation the 56th FIL Congress passed the motion to set up a “Sustainability” Project Group. Most important function of the project group will be ecological issues and concerns during the construction of new artificial tracks.

The FIL Executive Board headed by President Josef Fendt, recently appointed to the IOC Commission “Sport and Environment” by the International Olympic Committee, will not only finalise the contents and details but also nominate the members for this project group in the upcoming months.
