Further to the unstable worldwide political situation in the world, the FEI
2003 General Assembly, due to take place in Manama, Bahrain at the end of
April, was cancelled by the Executive Board on 19 February 2003.

The Executive Board of the FEI based its decision on the emergency powers
that the Statutes provide under Article 033.7. This decision was taken with
utmost regret vis-à-vis the Bahrain Equestrian Federation, which has already
undertaken such important efforts to welcome the FEI Delegates and to assure
an excellent General Assembly.

Consequently a working meeting of the FEI Bureau will be organised in Madrid
(ESP), in order to take all the decisions that are required to assure the
smooth running of the FEI during this difficult period. The items that would
have been submitted to the General Assembly in 2003 will again be on the
agenda for 2004.

Outgoing Bureau Members Elena Petushkova (RUS) Chairman of Group III, Shael
Bin Kalifa Al Kuwari (QAT), Chairman of Group VII and Jack Pemberton (CAN),
Chairman of the Driving Committee as well as two outgoing members of the
Judicial Committee and one o the Finance Committee will have their term
prolonged by one year. Election will take place at 2004 General Assembly for
a shortened term of 3 year.
