Technical advisor during the mandate which is ending, Peter Truzla succeeds the Swedish Marjaana Alaviuhkola as president of the UET, as required by the statutes after two consecutive mandates (2019 – 2022). Gathered on Saturday morning, in a general assembly, on the Vincennes racecourse, the 26 members appointed this Austrian with great experience in his country (26 years of presidency of the racing federation) and within the European Union Trotting.
“The UET needs every member country”
“Unity will be our strengthhe declared during his speech. To be strong, the UET needs every member country, regardless of their influence.” As an extension of the policy put in place by the Swedish leader (who herself succeeded the Swiss Jean-Pierre Kratzer), in terms of breeding, animal welfare and the fight against doping, Peter Truzla will notably be able to rely on its two vice-presidents, the Italian Tamara Papiccio and the Finnish Mina Maenpaa, but also Guillaume Maupas, the technical director of the SETF (Société d’Encouragement du Trotteur Français) who is extending his mandate as general secretary for the next three seasons.
