- Start of the meeting.
The assembly started at 16:45 pm CET, online with “ZOOM” video conference tool. The number of delegate is superior to 30%, so this extraordinary meeting can take place.
- During EBF general meeting 2020, it was suggested by Jan Andersen, and accepted by All, that the Art.13 – 4 should be amended, so that EBF will not appoint a finance auditing committee of 2 persons as long as the total budget does not reach 10.000 €.
- Present article 13-4 is as follows:
- Unless the EC has decided that the Board’s account is audited by a chartered auditor, the Annual General Meeting will appoint from among the Member representatives an auditing committee of at least two persons, not being members of the EC. The committee will audit the EC’s account and will report its findings to the General Meeting.
The proposal for re-writing article 13-4 is as follows:
- Unless the Executive Committee (EC) has decided that the accounts of EBF should be audited by a chartered auditor, EBF’s annual Finance report will be sent by the Treasurer to the EC members who will examine the financial position of EBF including the accounts. If they are approved, they will be signed by the President and the Treasurer. If the total annual budget reaches the sum of 10.000 euros, the EC will appoint from amongst the Member representatives an auditing committee of at least two persons, not being members of the EC. The auditing committee will audit the accounts and will report its findings to the General Meeting.
The amendment is unanimously accepted, therefore the statutes will be amended.
The meeting ends at 17:00 CET.
