SECRETARY GENERAL’S REPORT For the FEI, 2009 has been a challenging year, but ultimately one that has seen effective steps taken to ensure that equestrian sport continues to develop with integrity, fair-play and equine welfare as its guiding principles. Although the economic crisis took its toll on many companies and organisations, the FEI was able to report a positive balance for the fi nancial year 2009. Not only did our commercial revenue increase by 26%, the number of international events organised in all our disciplines rose, totalling 2,683, compared to 2,404 in 2008. Regular, fl uent communication is essential to the FEI’s commitment to better serving NFs and, in 2009, the NF Liaison Offi ce continued to facilitate dialogue, allowing us to identify the nature of challenges the NFs face. It is not always possible for the FEI to provide ideal solutions, but we are dedicated to improving our ability to address the concerns of Member National Federations. That commitment is also a challenge in the context of a signifi cant increase of the FEI’s overall activity, whether measured by revenues, the number of events or projects. While staff numbers have risen over the years, our activity has increased at greater levels, resulting in signifi cant improvements in annual staff productivity. The year 2009 ended with 52 employees working at the FEI in Lausanne and overall staff productivity having increased by 17% in the last fi ve years, when considering the number of events administered by our team. Improving effi ciency sometimes involves taking a new look at organisational structure. This year, I had the pleasure of meeting members of regional Group IX in Nairobi and Group VIII representatives in Taipei, among other National Federation representatives, to discuss a proposal to restructure FEI governance. Although the project was ultimately not approved at the FEI General Assembly in Copenhagen, the question of governance will continue to evolve through dialogue with all NFs. 18 FEI ANNUAL REPORT 2009 The FEI’s well-established relationship with Alltech, Rolex and HSBC continued in 2009 and we were delighted to enter a partnership with Meydan in February. Meydan City is a visionary concept founded on the principles of partnership, community and sporting excellence and the FEI is proud to be associated with a company whose philosophy matches our own. The fi rst Meydan FEI Nations Cup was an exciting season and the synergy between Meydan and the prominent series was fruitful, leading to a renewal of the partnership for 2010. Preparations for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games progressed in Lexington, where the permanent structures that are being added to the Kentucky Horse Park will benefi t it long after the Games are over. I wish the organising team good luck for the work that lies ahead of them and look forward to seeing the event staged on US soil for the fi rst time. The FEI Bureau awarded the 2014 FEI World Equestrian Games to the region of Normandy in March. The bid committee and French Equestrian Federation spent eight years working on their proposal and presented a project of outstanding quality. I am delighted that the French government and regional authorities are showing such enthusiastic support. In October, the FEI President and I attended the Olympic Congress in Copenhagen. The theme, “The Olympic Movement in Society”, refl ected the reality of sport as an integral part of our society and the lively debates focused on guiding the Olympic Movement through another century in a relevant and viable way. Since the 2008 Olympic Games, the FEI has continued to work with the Olympic Movement on developing the blueprint for the London 2012 Olympics and the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore. This year, FEI staff and volunteers worked hand in hand with the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG) on issues such as planning, structure and development. Risk management remains a major task for the FEI. In September, the new FEI Eventing Risk Management policy and vision statements were presented at the HSBC FEI European Eventing
