The Congress is the highest EUROMIL authority. The congress is composed of the delegates of the member associations in proportion to their membership and meets every four years. The Congress elects the President and the Board. It approves the long-term policy objectives and has the sole authority to make amendments to the Charter of the organisation.
The Presidium is composed of the Board and one appointed delegate per member association. It meets twice a year. The Presidium approves the policy of the Board and provides impetus for the prospective further development of EUROMIL policy. It decides on the accession of member associations and approves the budget.
The Board conducts the business of EUROMIL, prepares the meetings of the Presidium and implements its resolutions. The Board has the responsibility to manage the budget. In addition, it shall perform representative functions, coordinate the activity of the advisory bodies (ad-hoc committees, lead associations, partnerships) and shall be responsible for recruiting new member associations, cooperating with the national associations and supporting them.
The Brussels Office is the central management body of EUROMIL. It is responsible for the implementation of the decisions of the Board and for the coordination of the work and co-operation between the EUROMIL bodies and the member associations. The Brussels office is the central contact partner for the member associations. The Brussels office guarantees the day-to-day business and the internal and external communication of the organisation.
Ad hoc Committees can be set up to increase EUROMIL’s capabilities and to improve its political effectiveness. They are installed by the Board and perform functions which request special competence and experience in specific issues. |
