Committees and labor market delegations

The Board may appoint representatives of membership organizations to committees, delegations, and working groups (for a limited period for the preparation of a specific project) to support the preparation and decision-making activities of the Board. The committees act as expert bodies under the auspices of the Board. The Board confirms the basic tasks of the committees at the beginning of the two-year term of office, in addition to which the Board may issue separate mandates.
