FIA to vote on Mosley's future in June

The FIA will hold a vote of confidence in president Max Mosley after the Senate accepted his request for an Extraordinary General Assembly meeting, to be held on June 3

Mosley asked the president of the FIA Senate for the meeting to discuss the fallout from the tabloid revelations into his private life.

The EGA will be held in Paris and will include a vote of confidence by secret ballot of more than 200 members of the general assembly.

Mosley called for the meeting to explain his position and provide what he hopes will be "total clarity" to the FIA in light of the statements released last week by several national car associations and key Formula One manufacturers requesting that the governing body take action.

He is determined to continue in his role and confirmed his intentions in a letter to the FIA last week.

A statement issued by the FIA today said: "The FIA can confirm that the members of the Senate have unanimously approved the proposal of the President of the FIA, that further to the recent press coverage relating to his private life, an Extraordinary General Assembly should be convened.

"The meeting will be held on June 3, 2008, in Paris. The General Assembly will include a vote of confidence by secret ballot."
