Representatives of 12 countries and the PIARC authorities with President Claude Van Rooten took part in the meeting of the European National Committees on 3 December in Warsaw. The meeting was hosted by the Polish National Committee. Two important jubilees were an opportunity to invite the counterparts of the other European countries: 200 years of central road administration in Poland and 100 years of Poland's membership in PIARC. For the first time (except for the 15th Winter Road Congress in Gdańsk), it was possible to meet in such a wide and representative group of representatives of PIARC national committees in Poland, where the committee has recently been established.
