Summary of the ANCCE March Executive Meeting
2015.04.27
In keeping with the commitments of the Board of Directors to maintain breeders informed about all advances and the work performed by both the Executive Committee and the various Commissions, here is a summary of the most noteworthy matters covered at the meeting held on the 27th of March at the ANCCE Office A number of matters of interest for the Association were on the Agenda and covered at the meeting
STUD BOOK
The Director of the Stud Book informed on the meeting between the ANCCE President and the President of the German Association, held at Equitana—an event that ANCCE attends with a promotional stand to provide information, attend German Breeders and promote the PRE as a breed
After having received a number of complaints from German Breeders and detecting glitches in Stud Book operations on behalf of the Collaborating Association, the President of ANCCE and the Director of the PRE Stud Book ANCCE met with the President of said Association to obtain first-hand information This information is essential for the Executive Committee to provide the most convenient actions so that breeders in Germany enjoy the same conditions as all other countries where PRE horses are bred
After analyzing the corresponding information, the Executive Association has decided to do without the collaboration of the Association presided over by Ms Sonja Thomas, which was the liaison between German breeders and the main Stud Book office in Sevilla Orders were given to inform breeders about this new situation and that the PRE Stud Book office was available to solve any immediate problems
The Executive Committee was provided with a draft copy of the Rules & Regulations that will govern the Stud Book Commission These will be studied and approved at the next Board Meeting to then be ratified at the General Assembly

COMPETITION RULES & REGULATIONS
As has been announced, and as such, the Organizing Committees celebrating competitions during the initial months of the year were informed, the 2015 Competition Rules & Regulations will be an extension of the 2014 rules, with a limited number of changes These changes will improve the information and developments at competitions
A number of aspects have been incorporated, generally legal aspects that the lawyers consider of interest for the services that both ANCCE and the Organizing Committees provide breeders, so that these are transparent with no discrimination of any type towards those participating in a competition The latest reforms do not affect the results for those horses that qualified prior to the publication of these Rules & Regulations
Once the Rules & Regulations have been approved by the Board of Directors, said rules will be applied, pending ratification at the forthcoming General Assembly
The Commission informed that it will start working immediately to draft the new Rules & Regulations, which will be applicable at the beginning of 2016 As promised by the President during his election campaign, these Rules will cover the concerns of all breeders, who are asked to provide ideas, suggestions and report any possible problems that are detected in the developments of current competitions, whether it is the actual organization or the behavior of those intervening in the development of events
All those who are interested may provide competition-related suggestions by sending an e-mail to concursos@anccecom
