For the third time in a row, the General Assembly of the European retreading association BIPAVER had to take place as an online meeting. Even if the technical possibilities allow a smooth process, it was very sad that the statutory change of the president had to take place online. At the meeting on June 28, 2022, the term of Jukka Lankolainen (Finland), who had already been elected online in 2020, came to an end. The baton was passed on to Guido Gambassi (Italy), combined with the hope that the European retreading industry will meet again in 2023 in a face-to-face meeting.
