SECTION V – LABEL COMMITTEE

The Label Committee is the Standing Committee of the ECTNA which deals with the Eurobachelor and Euromaster Labels. It consists of a Chairman, an Executive Secretary (non-voting) and eight ordinary members. The Chairman and Executive Secretary are nominated by the Administrative Council.The ordinary members are elected by the General Assembly according to guidelines established by the Administrative Council.

In all cases nomination or election is initially for a period of two years. The Chairman can be confirmed in office by the Administrative Council for one further two-year period. The Executive Secretary can be confirmed in office by the Administrative Council for an unlimited number of further two year-periods.

One half of the ordinary members must be replaced every two years by election on a rotation principle to be defined by the Administrative Council.

Members of the Label Committee are eligible for appointment as experts, for which payment may be made. Experts receiving payments should be appointed by the President after recommendation by the Executive Secretary.
