The Administrative Council (A.C.) of the Association is a representative body, which functions as a contact and surrogate of the members of the Association and assumes the relative initiatives for the implementation of decisions that are taken in the General Assemblies.
The Administrative Council has nine members and is elected by the total of the regular members of the General Assembly with secret voting. Its term lasts for two years. Before the conduct of voting a three-member committee is elected by the General Assembly, who with the Chairman and the Secretary of the General Assembly constitutes the Electing Board. The first Administrative Council is comprised by the first eleven establishing members.
The members of the A.C. are elected with relative majority which is worked out with alphabetical order at the day of the General Assembly in single voting page. If two or more people are with equal votes in the eleventh place, a draw is made between these people for the occupation of this place.
The Chairman is elected alternatively every two years, between candidates from all European countries. The Administrative Council is comprised by the following members: the Chairman, the first Vice-Chairman, the second Vice-Chairman, the General Secretary, the Special Secretary, the Treasurer and 5 members.
The next three candidates at order of majority after the election for the
members of the Administrative Council are appointed as surrogate members. In case of resignation, deletion or death of a member of the Administrative Council a surrogate substitutes the empty place.
The Administrative Council is ceased before the expiry of its service with the decision of the A.C. Specifically in these cases the majority of three quarters (3/4) present members is required.
