The European Commission's Road Safety Unit has been awarded a "pingüino de honor" ('Penguin of Honour') in recognition of its support to research projects and actions improving motorcycling safety.
The 'Golden Penguin' and 'Honour Penguin' awards are given by the Spanish motorcyclists' association 'Club Turismoto' during the motorcyclists' winter concentration organised yearly under the name of Pingüinos (Penguins)
The Head of the Commission's office in Spain, Mr Francisco Fonseca (first from the left on the picture), received the award on behalf of the Commission at the 2014 concentration near the Spanish town of Valladolid on 12 January. This time the event gathered more than 27000 registered participants.
