European Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc and DG MOVE invited mobility stakeholders to the conference “Micro-mobility: the next big thing?”.
The conference focused on the new transport developments of micro-mobility such as electric scooters, bikes, mopeds and drones. Together with representatives of city authorities and micro-mobility companies the conference aimed to be the first large-scale event to provide a platform to discuss the challenges and opportunities micro-mobility presents for people moving in urban areas and also for deliveries.
Dedicated workshops offered the possibility for participants to discuss the current situation and how to plan for the future. The conference concluded with a summary and voting on findings from the workshops to serve as input to the new Commission.
Venue: Kristalna Palača in Ljubljana, Slovenia on 14 October 2019.

The European Commission is the executive body of the EU and runs its day-to-day business. It is made up of the College of Commissioners, 27 European Commissioners, one for each member state, who are each responsible for one or several policy areas. In addition, the 'Commission' also refers to the entire administrative body that supports the Commissioners, consisting of the Directorates-General and the Services.
The European Commission is the sole EU body capable of proposing new legislation. The Commission also performs an oversight function, monitoring whether European legislation is properly implemented in the member states. In the event of non-compliance, the Commission can coerce a member state to comply by starting a legal procedure at the European Court of Justice.
