Incoming chair Marie-Christine Ducholet added “It is an honour to take over as Chair and on behalf of the Federation I would like to thank Enrico for his leadership and commitment during his chairmanship. It is my ambition to continue to promote our industry and highlight its contribution to the real economy. Representing 93% of the leasing and automotive business in Europe gives us a strong credibility when addressing industry issues with our various stakeholders. This will be particularly important in light of the many regulatory and legislative initiatives we are faced with nowadays and I know the Federation will be able to rely on the unconditional support, knowledge and expertise of all concerned.”
