MAKE UP
General Assembly
The General Assembly is RTRS’ highest decision making level. It includes all participating and observer members, although only participating members have voting rights.
In order to guarantee the flexibility of the RTRS, the General Assembly delegates its operational activities and most of the decisions to the Executive Committee.
Executive Board
The Executive Board is the resolution-making body of RTRS with powers as delegated by the General Assembly Meeting or the RTRS Statutes.
RTRS Secretariat
The Secretariat is responsible for executing the decisions made by Executive Board.
Executive Board
The three constituencies are equally represented in the Executive Board: Producers; Industry, Trade and Finance; and Civil Society. Each has a maximum of five representatives.
Each constituency has the same voting rights. They are elected by the General Assembly on an annual basis, and hold their role of representatives for a two-year period.
