The Bureau was created in 1983. It meets on a regular basis. Its mandate is to prepare the Executive Committee's decisions and to submit proposals. It is composed of three YFEC's members elected by the General Assembly, two consultative members designated by CENYC and BEC and 3 members of YFEC's General Secretariat. In 1992 a review of statutes redefined the tasks and role of the Bureau.
The series comprises documents pertaining to the Bureau's meetings. The description gives the dates of the single meetings and the themes discussed.
