A hearty welcome and many congratulations to the new College of Commissioners, which was given a resounding  approval by the European Parliament yesterday.

The EUCG is particularly thrilled that the new team includes some dedicated cyclists, such as Margrethe Vestager (pictured – competition) and Violeta Bulc (transport).

On their arrival in the most congested city in Europe and North America, they will need no reminding that more cycling  and fewer car journeys can provide a boost for health, economic growth  and the environment.

In the words of incoming President Juncker, ‘Let’s seize this chance.’

So good luck. We will be in touch soon.
