Ethics Commitee

In order to safeguard the integrity and reputation of motor sport and automobile mobility and tourism worldwide, the 2012 General Assembly adopted a Code of Ethics and established an Ethics Committee within the FIA.

Upon complaints from one of the FIA Parties or Third Parties (as defined in Article 19.2.1 and 19.2.2 of the FIA Statutes) regarding any alleged breach of the ethical principles as contained in the FIA Statutes, International Sporting Code and Regulations, or on its own initiative, the Ethics Committee carries out an initial assessment of the given situation to determine whether an in-depth investigation is necessary. In the event that an in-depth investigation is carried out, the Ethics Committee submits a report to the President of the FIA and the President of the Senate, who may decide to take any further action.

In the event that the President of the FIA is the subject of an investigation by the Ethics Committee, the report will be submitted to the President of the Senate, who may decide to take any further action. 

In the event that the President of the Senate is the subject of an investigation by the Ethics Committee, the report will be submitted to the President of the FIA, who may decide to take any further action. 

In all cases, a copy of this report will be submitted to the complainant and the person implicated for information.
