Elected representatives
Elected representatives and auditors
The federation’s highest body is the Congress, which meets every five years. The Congress deals with, among other things, business reports and annual reports, submitted motions and decides on membership fees. The Congress elects the President of the Federation, the Vice-President and 11 members of the Board.
Between congressional meetings, the Executive Board is the federation’s highest decision-making body. The board appoints a Management Committee consisting of four board members from different countries.
The seven sections are an important part of the federation’s activities. The sections are responsible for the activities related to their own industry. In connection with each congress, each section selects its Steering Committee.
