The Executive Committee is elected by the General Assembly from amongst the organisations that are full members. It meets twice a year and takes decisions with a majority vote. Its function is to examine the programme of work of the Forum and the corresponding budgetary estimates. Under the authority of the General Assembly it is responsible for the execution of the programme as well as for the budget.
The series contains the files pertaining to the single meetings. It is a complete series with rather exhaustive documentation on the proceedings including accountancy papers.
The file description cites the main themes discussed during the meetings. It is selective and standing subjects like budget, accountancy, programme of activities, youth policy in the EC and routine relations with the European institutions are not repeated.
