I - Approval of the minutes of the meeting held on 8 December 2007 in Paris
Minutes unanimously approved.

Due to Luigi Triossi's unavailability, the policy and activity report had been drafted by the President and approved by the Secretary General.
III - Approval of the accounts - request for resolution
Hervé Delambre presented the FITE accounts and their healthy situation, principally due to the considerable aid received from the French Equestrian Federation. As planned and announced at the 2007 AGM, the accounts were presented in two parts, for the period 1 January-31 December 2007 and for 1 January-31 August 2008 (documents handed out at the meeting). As from this date, FITE's financial year will run from 1 September of the previous year to 31 August of the current year.
The bureau unanimously approved the presentation given to them, the accounts and the financial statements for the periods mentioned above, for presentation at the AGM on 22 September 2008.
