The first regatta organised by the newly formed FISA was the European Rowing Championships and was held in 1893 in Orta, Italy.

FISA was the first international sports federation to join the Olympic movement.

In this role he drew up the first version of the Concorde Agreement, which settled a long-standing dispute between FOCA and the Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile ( FISA ), the then governing body of Formula One.

Formula One was first defined in 1946 by the Commission Sportive Internationale ( CSI ) of the FIA, forerunner of FISA, as the premier single seater racing category in worldwide motorsport to become effective in 1948.

The numerous Formula One regulations, made and enforced by the FIA and later the FISA, have changed dramatically since the first Formula One World Championship in 1950.

Originally the race was the eighth round of the season but moved up the order after the Spanish Grand Prix was removed from the schedule as a consequence of the first major confrontation between FISA and FOCA.

It was the first round of the 1984 Formula One season and the first race where the FISA mandated 220 litre fuel limit came into effect, with the re-fueling of now banned.

FISA took the decision to disqualify Danner from the weekend, the first such event in the history of the Formula 1 World Championship.

After the season got off to a bad start ( the first 3 races were nearly boycotted ; the first 2 due to safety concerns with both the Buenos Aires and Interlagos circuits and the third because of a dispute between FISA and FOCA ), the Drivers ’ Championship was won by Australian Alan Jones in a Williams and Williams took the Constructors award, the first of many Formula One titles for the English team.

The first FISA Youth Regatta was held in 1967 and has been held every year since then, being raised to the status of FISA Junior Champs in 1970 and Junior World Champs in 1985.

FISA predates the modern Olympics and was the first international sport federation to join the modern Olympic movement.

Müller showed a first dominating season in his single with winning the Overall FISA Rowing World Cup and World Cup Races in Paris with a time of 6. 38, Lucerne with a new ' Rotsee ' record also below 6. 40 and the Diamond Sculls at Henley Royal Regatta.

A grudging settlement was reached thereafter which allowed the FOCA teams to return to the " FISA " world championship in time for the first race in March.

The World Rowing Championships is an international rowing regatta organized by FISA ( the International Rowing Federation ).

Goodyear threatened to withdraw entirely from Formula One, an event which would have been commercially disastrous for the sport, so Ecclestone organized a meeting of team managers, Balestre, and other FISA representatives at the offices of the FIA in the Place de la Concorde, Paris, France.

The resulting culture clash was considerable ; local scrutineers, who had been applying the Group A regulations as written, repeatedly disagreed with European teams ( notably that of Rudi Eggenberger ) and the global organising body ( FISA, the ancestor of the FIA ) that were considerably more liberal with their interpretations.

The European Rowing Championships is an international Rowing regatta organised by FISA ( the International Rowing Federation ).

On 27 May 2006 the FISA members voted to re-introduce European Rowing Championships

FISA, the “ Fédération Internationale des Sociétés d ’ Aviron ” in French ( or the English equivalent International Federation of Rowing Associations ) was founded by representatives from France, Switzerland, Belgium, Adriatica ( now a part of Italy ) and Italy in Turin on 25 June 1892.

At the end of each year, the FISA holds the World Rowing Championships with events in 22 different boat classes.

The main notable difference between British Rowing rules and FISA rules is that coxes are not required to wear buoyancy aids in international events governed by FISA, whereas they are required to wear one at all times under the British Rowing rules.

The Fédération Internationale des Sociétés d ' Aviron, or FISA for short, is the International Rowing Federation which is the governing body for international Rowing.

As the regatta pre-dates any national or international rowing organisation, it has its own rules and organisation, although it is recognised by both British Rowing ( the governing body of rowing in England and Wales ) and FISA ( the International Federation of Rowing Associations ).

British Rowing is a member of the British Olympic Association and the International Federation of Rowing Associations, also known as FISA.

The lake's dimensions follow the FISA rules for a rowing lake suitable for hosting a World Rowing Championship, World Rowing Cup or Olympic regatta:

First held in 1976, this regatta is for those too old for the Junior Championships but who do not turn 23 by the end of the current calendar year ( previously categorised as Senior B by FISA ).

The FISA and FISC were inspired by the recommendations of the Church Committee.

Each application for one of these surveillance warrants ( called a FISA warrant ) is made before an individual judge of the court.

When the Attorney General determines that an emergency exists he may authorize the emergency employment of electronic surveillance before obtaining the necessary authorization from the FISA court, after which the Attorney General or his designee must notify a judge of the court not more than 72 hours after the Attorney General authorizes such surveillance.

It is also rare for FISA warrant requests to be turned down by the court.

FISA rules specify minimum weights for each class of boat so that no individual team will gain a great advantage from the use of expensive materials or technology.

In international competition the rules are set out by the world governing body FISA.

Key acts changed were the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 ( FISA ), the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 ( ECPA ), the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 and Bank Secrecy Act ( BSA ), as well as the Immigration and Nationality Act.

It primarily made amendments to FISA, and the ECPA, and many of the most controversial aspects of the USA PATRIOT Act reside in this title.

In particular, the title allows government agencies to gather " foreign intelligence information " from both U. S. and non-U. S. citizens, and changed FISA to make gaining foreign intelligence information the significant purpose of FISA-based surveillance, where previously it had been the primary purpose.

Also removed was the statutory requirement that the government prove a surveillance target under FISA is a non-U. S. citizen and agent of a foreign power, though it did require that any investigations must not be undertaken on citizens who are carrying out activities protected by the First Amendment.

These makers overcame the rules of FISA ( as the FIA was called at the time ) by building the requisite number of these models for the road.

International regulations had prohibited four-wheel drive ; but FISA accepted that this was a genuine production car, and changed the rules.

Other manufacturers had no production four-wheel drive car on which to base their response, so FISA was persuaded to change the rules, and open the Championship to cars in Group B.

FISA immediately changed the rules again: rallying after 1987 would be in Group A cars, closer to the production model.
