Metadata of the motion
Party:	EGP Committee

In accordance with article 6.4.7 of the Statutes, the EGP Committee is
organising a by-election for the upcoming 40th EGP Congress in Lisbon and is
hereby calling for candidates for the election of 1 further or regular Committee
member, for the remainder of the mandate until end 2027.

The adjusted deadlines will be presented for adoption in Lisbon on Friday
afternoon, just ahead of the first plenary moment.

Please find below the articles of our guidelines defining the roles and
responsibilities of the Committee members.

The EGP Committee (Statutes, Art. 6.4)
The Committee is the executive body of the European Green Party and is
responsible for its political and strategical development and functioning within
the budget and the guidelines approved by the Congress.

General tasks and responsibilities (Statutes, Art. 6.4.10 to 6.4.16, and
Rulebook articles 1-3)
The Committee is responsible for the political and strategic development of the
organisation, political representation, development and implementation of the
Activity Plan within the current European political reality. The Committee can
make political statements on behalf of the EGP and is politically responsible to
the Congress.

Every member of the Committee is expected:

To regularly participate in Committee meetings

To take on specific responsibilities within the approved activity plan

To maintain relations with specific members on a very regular basis

To politically represent the Committee

To report back to the Committee from their political engagements

As a consequence of the EGP’s Statutes’ reform and the Committee
enlargement, the full Committee will meet around 4 times a year for two-
day-meetings mainly held in Brussels. Moreover, Committee members’
physical presence will be required at Statutory meetings, such as
Congresses and Green Leadership Councils. Topical, shorter mostly online
meetings will be organised as needed.

Depending on the division of responsibilities (partners, fact finding or
study visits, networks, working groups etc.), Committee members without a
specific function must allow for approximately 60 days a year for
Committee work.
