Fedemac Information

FEDEMAC was founded in 1959, following the 1957 Treaty establishing the European Economic Community. Over the years, the European Union has grown to 28 countries, representing over 500 million citizens.

FEDEMAC's Position Papers are updated regularly to take into account the latest developments and discussions that take place in the European Institutions. In 2008, FEDEMAC became a Member of the Mobility for Prosperity in Europe (MPE), a transport related association formed in 2005.

We are therefore very pleased to invite you to download all or any of our current Position Papers to more appreciate the main issues at present facing FEDEMAC and its Members throughout Europe on the political level.
