EMI political committees

Most of the content-based activities of the EMI are developed by, or at least originate from the work of the three Political Committees, which for the years 2021-2023 have been restructured in line with European Movement’s Strategic Priorities. These Political Committees will meet on the fringes of any Statutory Meetings and whenever deemed necessary, and are open to all members of the European Movement International. The participation in the Political Committees is limited to one representative per member organisation.

The Political Committees can cooperate and/or suggest and initiate projects which are relevant to more than one of them. The Political Committees can delegate parts of their work to specific members. Their main purpose is to determine the lobbying positions that the EMI will defend in the name of its members vis-à-vis the European institutions.

European Movement International structure

The European Movement International is governed by various statutory bodies, which feed into decision-making and enable all member organisations to shape the positions of the European Movement.

A detailed outline of all the European Movement International Statutory bodies and their functions can be found at the Articles of Association.
